The author said their post had been blocked in India under Indian Information Technology rules after they criticised political detentions and called for freedom of protest. They wrote that the restriction showed why free speech mattered and said democracies must tolerate criticism. https://t.co/BCuYZECeCF #FreedomOfSpeech #Democracy #India #IN

The author called for remembering Anna Politkovskaya and other journalists, freedom fighters, human rights activists and democrats in Russia who, they wrote, had stood up to Vladimir Putin’s dictatorship and been imprisoned, tortured or murdered. https://t.co/bShGa0AKNI #AnnaPolitkovskaya #HumanRights #FreedomOfSpeech #RU

Ursula von der Leyen 5d

The author wrote that Anna Politkovskaya had been murdered 20 years earlier for challenging those in power in Putin’s Russia. They said she had exposed the brutality of war, given victims a voice and resisted attempts to silence her, adding that although this had cost her life, many people still remembered her. https://t.co/pe2xPxuAeB #AnnaPolitkovskaya #FreedomOfSpeech #HumanRights #RU

Meta has restricted one of my posts in India, citing “local legal requirements.” The notice is dated 29 September 2026. The post concerned Gandhi Jayanti, Satyagraha, voter-roll transparency and calls for peaceful democratic accountability. I am asking Meta to disclose: • the https://t.co/A5MzQ17DB7 #GandhiJayanti #Democracy #FreedomOfSpeech #IN

The “Hungarian Caligula” has now picked a new target: a right-wing female influencer @vyrag sitting in the visitors’ gallery of Parliament. He insulted her from the floor. When she answered back that she would not tolerate his lies, she was escorted out by parliamentary guards - https://t.co/MsfzMTXJ5C #HungarianPolitics #Influencer #FreedomOfSpeech #HU

Kamervragen van @gideonvmeijeren over Jetten die zegt zijn politieke tegenstanders 'op hun bek te gaan slaan'. Hoe verhouden deze woorden zich tot eerdere uitspraken waarin de premier zegt dat politici een 'grote verantwoordelijkheid' hebben om hun woorden te wegen? https://t.co/KdQncCP9Di #politiek #freedomofspeech #verantwoordelijkheid

It has come to that: The witnesses are being prosecuted for the crime of having... witnessed the crime! This is a warning to every European. BEWARE: As a European citizen you may be prosecuted by a EU member-state for merely documenting suspect - often criminal - acts by the https://t.co/LDoXCVIlOk #WitnessProtection #EUJustice #FreedomOfSpeech #EU #BE #DE #FR

Here's the video clip of philosopher Freddy Mortier being booed by students after making some remarks about the Cofnas affair, preventing him from continuing his speech. The dean then takes the stage to condemn Mortier’s remarks as “completely inappropriate” and apologize to the #Philosophy #FreedomOfSpeech #UniversityDebate #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #theresultis:

Donald Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House because he doesn’t like their reporting, while threatening that other media outlets could be next. Nothing shouts “freedom of speech” quite like banning journalists who say things you don’t like. https://t.co/zHANmkcDNg #FreedomOfSpeech #MediaBias #TrumpAdministration #US

Scandalously, Dublin City Council refused permission for this poster to be put up, saying: "DCC cannot approve any poster containing language or graphics that could reasonably be construed as causing offence." #Dublin #FreedomOfSpeech #Censorship #IE

Russia preaches Europe for the lack of freedom of speech while bombing Ukrainian media houses in broad daylight. Russia is a hypocritical terrorist state. #Russia #FreedomOfSpeech #Hypocrisy #RU #UA #EU

Our opponents sometimes dream of a democracy without the people. A democracy where the people are told to remain silent when they vote the wrong way, to apologise when they think the wrong way, and to vote again until they finally give the "right answer". @reformparty_uk https://t.co/c6oQAKtWPu #Democracy #FreedomOfSpeech #PoliticalParticipation #GB

It's wild how some Russian officials are criticizing Europe over freedom of speech when their books look like this. Pure, unfiltered 1984. https://t.co/p7WtQgw8YW #FreedomOfSpeech #Russia #1984 #RU #EU

@AlexDenStoerste @oresundsbaron Gud hvor er det en ubehagelig og ulækker adfærd at forsøge at intimidere en meningsmodpart ved at signalere "vi holder øje", ved at sprede billeder af vedkommendes vindue. Jeg går ud fra at gode folk tæt på dig griber fat i dig og fortæller, hvor forkert den handling er. #Intimidation #Respect #FreedomOfSpeech

Wenn selbst die US-Sicherheitsstrategie vor Souveränitätsverlust, Zensur, Migrationsfolgen und der Unterdrückung politischer Opposition in Europa warnt, sollte Berlin nicht empört wegsehen, sondern sich fragen, wie es so weit kommen konnte. #AfD #Meinungsfreiheit https://t.co/OluCfLC3rn #Sovereignty #FreedomOfSpeech #Europe

This internal email from a tenured professor at Nathan Cofnas’ department shows not only that the “barrage” of complaints about the “negative effects on well-being” was perfectly coordinated, but that it was explicitly encouraged by rector Petra De Sutter herself.

Annika Strandhäll visar tydligt hur antisemitismen har förskjutits och normaliserats. En davidsstjärna räcker för att hon ska se rött och börja twittra som besatt. Reaktionerna lär tyvärr utebli. #antisemitism #hat #freedomofspeech
