Freedom of speech and freedom of communication are under attack all over the world. What the fuck is going on? 🤯

The lead up of a very big war, would be my guess. The first casualty of war is the truth, the second is those that seek it.

That is going on now unfortunately. The Western regimes have gambled and lost bigly on Ukraine. If we're really looking at the end of US and Western global hegemony, it's bound to end messy. We have to hope we somehow avoid the big one you're referring too.

IIRC, he also told Tucker about how a govt agency (I don't remember which one) either wanted him to start censoring TG or turn over info to the feds...one or the other.

He asked for court orders, they didn't have them, so he told them to go fuck themselves.

(I'm likely getting all the details wrong. But the gist / principle are correct.)

Fast forward not that long and here we are.

I'm sure this will be a needed thing to ensure free speech and continue to save democracy.

It isn't surprising that a law enforcement agency is trying to enforce the law. Of course they reached out to the platform owner for help. It helps them if the platform continues to chug on so they can continue to catch criminals. I'm all for them catching as many pedos and child traffickers as possible.

I'm not saying to give them the keys to the kingdom, but let/help them catch criminals.
