...this is a cataclysmic threat to press freedoms, and the time to act is now.
The US government’s arbitrarily gifting itself the right to use
fraudulent distortions to imprison anyone in the world who publishes
facts about it will chill any attempts to do so in the future, and poses
a far greater threat to press freedoms than anything we’ve seen in our
lives. Anyone who sits idly by while this happens is signing over the
sovereign right of every human being on this planet to hold power to
account, and anyone calling themselves a journalist who does anything
other than unequivocally oppose this move is confessing that they are a
state propagandist. This is an intolerable plunge toward Orwellian
dystopia, and is an assault on human dignity itself.
It’s time to shake the earth and refuse to let them cross this line. Enough is enough.
Roar, humans. Roar.
