EDRi<p>A far-right MEP brings the hyperbolic German debate and fearmongering about the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DigitalServicesAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalServicesAct</span></a> and <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/FreedomOfExpression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomOfExpression</span></a> into the room. Good to see that McGrath is informed enough to realise that while free speech must be protected, the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DSA</span></a> isn't what's threatening it!</p>
Aaron<p>Ok this is one of exceptionally few times I'll link to the deadbirdsite and it's only because Bernie Sanders read and reposted the article I wrote on <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Cornell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cornell</span></a> trying to silence dissent by leveraging the oppressive power of the state.</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FreedomOfExpression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomOfExpression</span></a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1839721458223685706" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">x.com/BernieSanders/status/183</span><span class="invisible">9721458223685706</span></a></p>
Aaron<p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/Cornell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cornell</span></a> is leveraging the power of state immigration authorities to suppress pro-Palestinian speech. </p><p>For The Nation, I wrote about Momodou Taal, who faces deportation as a result of his expressive activities on campus, demanding that the university divest from genocide.</p><p>Interesting that a Black, Muslim foreign national is facing the harshest repression from this elite US institution. <br>What a coincidence.</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/FreedomOfExpression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomOfExpression</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/PalestineException" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PalestineException</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/cornell-graduate-student-deportation-palestine-protest/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/society/</span><span class="invisible">cornell-graduate-student-deportation-palestine-protest/</span></a></p>
GH Ogawa<p>I've just been harassed for sharing this opinion!!! Too much for freedom of expression!</p><p>To the knee jerk reactionary people out there, if you're thinking of harassing me for speaking my mind, please know that this will only strengthen my resolve to double down on sharing my opinion.</p><p>I accept constructive criticism, I do, and I did change my position when a sound respectful argument is/was presented. But I will not tolerate nastiness!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/freedomofexpression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freedomofexpression</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/constructivecriticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>constructivecriticism</span></a></p>
