American journalists are already getting silenced when talking up about the government. What EU county are you even talking about? Nowhere is it this bad in Europe.
- ein0p 2y agoWhich ones? You'll have to be more specific.

- dkenyser 2y agoOh they have to be more specific while you provide absolutely zero evidence for any of your claims?
- danem 2y agoSilenced as in, not given access to White House officials? Sorry but there is a difference between that and arresting people for things they say online. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/policing-speech-online-germany-60-minutes-transcript/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/policing-speech-online-germany-... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr548zdmz3jo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr548zdmz3jo

- danem 2y agoIt is undeniable that European countries police speech more heavily than the US does. They have laws on the books that plainly give them this power. They exercise this power quite regularly. Feel free to argue that it is right for them to do so, but don't muddy the discussion attempting to redefine words.
- thrance 2y agoWhich words did I redefine? Our free speech doesn't include hate speech but it is still called free speech in our constitution. And it's boundaries are still clearly defined, just like yours. Also, I don't feel like there's anything to argue, look where allowing rampant misinformation and lies proliferation got your country. Your president is spitting Russian propaganda to Zalensky's face: "you started the war", "Russia will respect peace", "Europe only loaned money", etc. Your country is falling apart, not mine.
- 827a 2y agoAmerican journalists aren't being silenced. One organization is being denied access to privileged executive spaces, which I disagree with and do not believe should be happening, but you need to be more honest in the language you use to describe what is happening. If you aren't, you're just as bad as the other side.
- thrance 2y agoIt's quite a bit more than that: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/about-us/article/2025/02/26/in-the-us-47-journalists-associations-denounce-attacks-on-freedom-of-expression_6738602_115.html https://www.lemonde.fr/en/about-us/article/2025/02/26/in-the... Also, let's not fall in false equivalences here.
