British Parliament summons Elon Musk to explain himself about free speech

Friends, 

It's a good thing we kicked the Brits out back in the Revolutionary War. As bad as the USA has become, its citizens are light-years freer than Brits, or even Canadians, now. Elon, an American citizen and the U.S.'s most famous "African-American", ought to tell the Brits to go get as stuffed as what's left of their royal family. Of course, they'd just try to bankrupt him. (But his colony ideas for Mars are beginning to look quite inviting, are they not?)

This is absolute George Orwell 1984 stuff, summoning Elon Musk to the Parliament to face an inquistion about his free speech restoration plans for Twitter. (Of course, Parliament here is acting in part as a proxy for the Biden Regime.) It's amazing they're so open and in-your-face about it. I think the 2020 election theft stands so screamingly transparent now, as are the deadly harms caused by the Covid "vaccines", that they're getting absolutely desperate to impose total censorship.

Free speech, i.e. open political, social, medical and religious speech as opposed to pornography or shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater, remain, ever and always, and absolute requirement for ANY form of self- or representative-government. It stands as an ABSOLUTE requirement for thinking, for rational behavior. "Sheeple" do not need it, HUMAN BEINGS do. Thus the bad guys attack it. Even Supreme Court justices must now flee into witness protection program-level hiding. My friends, this is the last summer of our (relative) freedoms. Watch how the American November election doesn't occur. For if it occurs and remains halfway honest, the Democrat Party will be destroyed and the RINOs weakened. But it may be too late. All this has been planned for decades.

In comparison to slavery, I'd welcome a nuclear war.

Below is an excerpt, but read the whole thing.

The Biden Administration’s Disinformation Governance Board head, Nina Jankowisz, previously called upon Great Britain to impose state censorship rules. That call has grown since Musk’s purchase. Until now, a unified front of corporate censors was able to maintain an extensive system of censorship with the encouragement of politicians and pundits, including Joe Biden and Democratic members.

The head of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee in the House of Commons, Conservative MP Julian Knight has assured her countrymen that they can stay calm and censor on. She issued a letter for Musk to appear before the committee to answer for his terrifying suggestion of free speech:

“At a time when social media companies face the prospect of tighter regulations around the world, we’re keen to learn more about how Mr Musk will balance his clear commitment to free speech with new obligations to protect Twitter’s users from online harms.”

...

Like the EU’s censorship plans under the Digital Services Act, the proposed Online Safety Bill would introduce state censorship through the purview of Ofcom (The Office of Communications), the broadcasting regulator in Britain. It would allow the company to fine firms up to ten percentof their global revenue should they violate ill-defined “harm” standards.

If passed, Clinton and others hope that the Europeans can replace corporate censorship with good old-fashioned state censorship. This includes confiscatory fines for anything deemed “grossly offensive.“  The bill would allow countries like Great Britain to impose censorship on the rest of the world.

The decline of free speech in the United Kingdom has long been a concern for free speech advocates  (here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here). Once you start as a government to criminalize speech, you end up on a slippery slope of censorship. What constitutes hate speech or “malicious communications” remains a highly subjective matter and we have seen a steady expansion of prohibited terms and words and gestures. Even having “toxic ideologies” is now a crime.

Great Britain would now make censorship one of its greatest exports. To do so, they first have to stomp out advocates for free speech like Musk by threatening to bankrupt his company if it tries to restore free speech to the Internet.
