    Fully expecting this to be like Truth Social, based off fediverse software with no attribution and no federation.

    Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a “speech I like” platform.

    There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America’s 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I’m so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.

      They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU countries:

      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. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

      The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
