I did not abolish the freedom of speech. This sorts under «tolerate everything except intolerance».
Russia will not extend the courtesy of freedom of speech if their propaganda operations succeed, so we must defend it before we get to that point.
Before I’m accused of being totalitarian, I’ll just state the obvious that this is a subtle and complex subject.

Neither Russia nor China are not going to open up their media unless there is reciprocity. But there is no longer any mechanism to source it.
