UK Greens leader @ZackPolanski has called for some bold media regulation, and the establishment are running scared. Trying to spin it as censorship, using their Free Speech Onion front group;

Intriguingly, this direction of travel doesn't seem to be confined to the Greens. Even the Labour government are getting in on confronting the disproportionate power of underregulated online platforms;

Every now and then I like to climb into a rabbithole - with suitable critical thinking ropes and harness in place - to make sure I'm not living in one myself. Today I went spelunking again into Free to Speak, the podcast of the Free Speech Onion;

CW: ukpol superinjunction
Every now and then I'm reminded that the UK has this thing called a #SuperInjunction, which compels the UK media not to report on a story.
There's something rather quaint about it, like an echo of an earlier era before the telegraph - and The Telegraph.
Unrelatedly, it's always nice to hear what those thoroughly lovely and not in any way dodgy people at the #FreeSpeechUnion have been up to of late...

"Defenders of rubbish human behaviour love this version of free speech: irresponsible, unethical and individualistic. When other types of free speech are under attack - say by threats against libraries who want to host rainbow story time - well, they seem to lose interest."https://theendisnaenae.substack.com/p/in-good-faith
Some might. Others are more consistent in their decent of their stated principles;

@ArrestJK @AnneleiseHall @scattermutant
The recent exposure of NZ groups operating under the control of the #AtlasNetwork umbrella such as the #NZInitiative #TaxPayersUnion and #FreeSpeechUnion is helping wake up many NZers to the threat of multi national corporate control of #NZPol and policies. #DavidSeymour 's Treaty Principles Bill has helped shine a light on the ACTlas Network Party's treacherous motives.

#JonathanAyling gives a fairly nuanced perspective on the free speech implications of calls to censure Prof Joanna Kidman, for her comments about the NatACTs' dopey Boot Camps.

I'll never forget the support Darren Watson and I didn't get from the #FreeSpeechUnion when the last National #NZPol Key govt through MoJ Judith Collins and the NZEC banned the song and video #PlanetKey from radio broadcast, online streaming and eventually from sale.Time for a walk down memory lane.
