@randahl I guess it’s not a surprise authoritarians would be trotting out loud & proud how they’re suppressing speech they don’t like.
I mean we had a whole post-WW2 generation of writers warning us how the same fascist process could happen in the West, and that the seeds were already planted.
But the cognitive dissonance shill hits hard. These were supposed to be ”free speech absolutists”

> As the war entered its third week, Mr. Carr accused broadcasters of “running hoaxes and news distortions” in a social media post and warned them to “correct course before their license renewals come up.”
