The US state department recognise this charge is an 'unwelcome departure from the shared values that ought to underpin US-UK relations.' I would say it's also an unwelcome departure from common sense and basic human rights. https://t.co/tDjJKywSPc

An appropriate response by the U.S., my thanks to @SecRubio and all those at @StateDept involved in speaking up for, well, freedom of speech! (H/t to @LoisMcLatch for posting about this.)

Isabel will face trial in 2026 for standing, praying silently in her head on a public street near an abortion clinic 🙏 We shouldn’t need the U.S. to defend our free speech in the UK - but at this rate, somebody has got to! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

🚨UK Christian, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, has been criminally charged AGAIN. For standing, praying silently, holding pro-life views in her mind within 150m of an abortion facility. This is the first case under the new "buffer zones" law. Silent prayer is NOT a crime.

Christians in Nigeria are facing unimaginable acts of violence, all because of their faith. Now is Nigeria's chance to turn the tide, put an end to this persecution, and protect religious freedom. ✍️@KristenWaggoner for @WNGdotorg

Don’t let the EU off the hook on free speech. We wrote to the European Commission to remind Brussels exactly how the DSA imperils free expression. 🧵 Read the full letter 👇

🚨TODAY: We're in Glasgow supporting Rose Docherty at her first court hearing. Rose was arrested in September for holding a sign offering consensual conversation within 200m of a hospital, where a "buffer zone" is in place, banning "influence". How can a chat be criminal?🏴

🚨Consensual conversation is not a crime. Yet Rose was in court this morning, faced with charges for just that - Offering a chat within 200m of a hospital in Glasgow, where a censorial “buffer zone” prohibits “influence”. We’re supporting Rose’s legal defence. 👇

The 2025 DSA review was a moment for the Commission to show leadership on free speech. Instead, it sidestepped the biggest criticisms of the DSA and postponed free speech questions to 2027. If the Commission wants credibility, it should publish who was consulted in their review

The Commission claims the DSA is “content agnostic” because it doesn’t directly delete posts. That’s misleading and they know it. The DSA applies heavy pressure on platforms to censor content on ideological grounds such as mitigating so-called “disinformation” and “risks to

As for the potential of exporting EU censorship around the world, the Commission says the DSA shouldn’t apply beyond Europe “in principle”. In reality, platforms apply EU rules globally to avoid fines. Brussels is attempting to establish the DSA as a global norm in digital
