They already are. They imprison journalists under terrorist acts if they criticise the gov or they come knock on your door if you put mean things on twitter.
But corrupt politicians? That's not a bug, it's a feature.
- worik 3y ago> They imprison journalists under terrorist acts if they criticise the gov Is that fair? The English state is not doing that are they? Some examples are suitable to back up such a claim.
- isaacremuant 3y agoThe most obvious one is Julian Assange. Then they detain people such as https://thegrayzone.com/2023/05/30/journalist-kit-klarenberg-british-police-interrogated-grayzone/ https://thegrayzone.com/2023/05/30/journalist-kit-klarenberg... Or David Miranda (late husband of Glenn Greenwald). Surely we believe that UK and USA are the good guys and they don't do evil stuff. That's left for Russia and China who are evil. Not like US and UK who invade and depose governments for commercial and geopolitic interests but "there's always a good excuse for it".
