Western governments around the world are clamping down on freedom of speech in a big way. Australia for instance is passing a misinformation and disinformation (MAD) bill right now to severely restrict free speech in Australia. This is a backdoor to censorship of US citizens too as the platforms are required to police themselves and thereby restrict speech on the entire platform lest they fall afoul of the Australian regime and incur massive fines.
I propose that the state department in the USA sends strong signals to allied governments that restrictions on speech will result in a downgrade in relations with relevant nations.
Thank you.
