🇬🇧 FOREIGN INTERFERENCE:
How the UK government helped the Biden-Harris US government crush free speech 🇺🇲
"The government’s Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU), set up in 2019 and instructed in March 2020 to combat the spread of ‘false coronavirus information online’, has helped the United States establish a dedicated team to crush what it sees as dissent.
Documents obtained under freedom of information (FOI) by the sovereignty organisation America First Legal (AFL), show that in August 2021 the Biden White House hosted a team from the CDU. They taught the Biden-Harris National Security Council (NSC), an interagency policy committee (IPC), everything they knew about silencing government critics on social media.
The CDU came under the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and was run by civil servant Sarah Connolly. (The NSOIT operates within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.) They used a 155-page PowerPoint presentation to explain to the US how they had instructed British social media to censor users posting content they deemed harmful. They shared their censorship playbook and advised the US to create a dedicated hub to lead government censorship efforts, backed with legislation to enable them to coerce social media companies. The result was, and still is, an all-out assault on free speech, done in the name of our ‘safety’.
The CDU taught White House teams how to bully social media platforms to ensure government censorship demands were not ignored. A duty-of-care principle was established in the UK in 1932, and it is this anti-harm legislation the British government used to demand censorship of social media content, since reinforced by the Online Safety Act passed in October 2023.
Censorship violates Article 10 of the UK’s 1998 Human Rights Act. It states: ‘Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.’"
