In response to the German government demanding he dox the person who called leftist pol Ricarda Lang fat, Gab founder and CEO Andrew Torba said, “This is why I no longer travel outside the US.”

You can see why he would avoid the UK, which has degenerated into a police state regarding speech that does not conform to the government’s leftist ideology.

As for France:

Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov was arrested at the Bourget airport near Paris on Saturday, according to French outlet TF1…

TF1 reported that Durov was under threat of a warrant due to the lack of moderation on the Telegram platform.

He faces 20 years in prison.

Durov founded Telegram in 2013 along with his brother. The messaging service has 950 million users worldwide and is seen as an uncensored free speech platform.

In contrast, those who provide platforms for free speech are safe in the USA, because we have the Constitution. Right? Right?

Hold on:

Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who made waves as a key witness in the impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump, issued a warning to Elon Musk on Sunday after Telegram messaging app CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in France. …

While experts and industry leaders sounded the alarm about the international free speech implications of his arrest, Vindman championed the move, taking to X to warn its CEO about the “growing appetite for accountability” before suggesting that Musk could be next.

Vindman confirms that he takes his talking points from the same source as the rest of the liberal establishment:

Vindman’s warning to Musk seemingly garnered significant backlash, prompting him to double down in a follow up post, where he railed against “free speech absolutists weirdos.”

Democrat pols and the media myrmidons who keep them in power have been instructed to call normal people “weird.”

If Democrats consolidate power in November, Vindman’s authoritarian attitude will be directly imposed by the White House:

Like Walz, Vindman looks the part — as if both were sloppily molded out of rotting dough. Strongman tyrants like Mussolini and Stalin are behind us. The impending tyranny will be as squishy-soft as a liberal’s skull.
