> Did you buy JD Vance on "free speech" in EU ?

You can find TONS of examples of people in Europe being jailed or having cops come to their house for something they said on social media. In some cases for things as simple as criticizing a politician.

Here’s a high profile one, but I can find you plenty more examples.

>On 25 May 2018, Robinson was arrested for a breach of the peace while live streaming outside Leeds Crown Court[170][174]

“Breach of peace” means he was saying something that they didn’t want him to say. This is a real curtailing of free speech.

>companies to trash DEI

DEI is often racist and many of its implementations in modern companies violate the civil rights act. Companies are correct to be ditching it because it poses a big risk for discrimination lawsuits.

I actually spoke with lawyers about this very recently and reverse discrimination lawsuits are a booming business right now because there are so many clear cut examples of violations of the civil rights act.
