I look forward to the current us admin forcing the uk to very publicly walk this back. Their motivation will have nothing to do with defending free speech, but an enemy of my enemy IS my friend.

But the predator of your predator isn’t your protector, just a bigger predator.

The current US administration isn’t pro free speech, they just use other tools to prevent it.

UK uses laws, US uses money respectively the lack of money for you if your speech doesn’t suit them.

US free speech has a price tag.

That line sounds like the start of a counter to "Won't somebody think of the children."
