> No it did not. Online right wing is trying to push narrative that is all. It's sad that people don't see what's so obviously happening in the uk. Censorship is alive and well in the uk, and there are plans afoot to further the control of the online world.

  Try reading the whole thing again. We know there is censorship. We do not like the censorship. Americans fund the censorship. Americans pass laws for censorship. Americans fund censorship overseas. UK passes law for censorship. Americans - See it's the UK fault. That is the part we are discussing.

  The online world is trash, democracy existed before the internet and it will exist after it becomes an AI slop playground. If you are worried age gates tracking you just speak to people in the real world?

Is your privacy really worth giving up to "own the right"?

The UK's culture on this stuff has been relatively famous since Orwell coined the term thoughtcrime. The major advantage the US has over the UK historically has been the oceans, but an interesting secondary one is the US was built by people who seemed to have a healthy fear of the extended groupthink sessions that the UK tends to fall into. It's always been something of a problem given how insular their upper class is. The UK was an amazing leader on liberty in the days when absolute monarchies were the assumed default government, but their free speech standards are a long way from exemplary in modern times.

They called themselves pro-freedom btw. See, limitations on slavery represented taking away freedom in their minds. And that conception stayed. And anyway, USA is far from actual freedom including freedom of speech. It does not even rank that well in international comparisons. It is just strong in calling itself free or freedom minded. And huge bulk of that we are freedom rhetorics is from authoritarian fascists

Plenty of evidence in this thread, but we can't make you followers of the regime understand it since your entire worldview's foundation is built on this denial of facts.
