In the poem “Paul Revere’s Ride,” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow advised that lanterns hung in the belfry tower would signal British troops advancing. One lantern by land two if by sea
Should Longfellow been able to see into the future he would also inform if by internet, hang three
When three kids were slashed to death and ten others wounded at a Taylor Swift themed party, it was erroneously posted the suspect was an asylum seeker
The thought of children lying in pools of blood presented a picture that couldn’t be painted any bleaker
Frustrated people looking for an excuse to riot seized the opportunity and looted and burned
The fact that previously citizens had been storing anger for a decade watching their country being turned into a third world ghetto didn’t have the powdered wigs at all concerned
However when the European Commissioner for Internal Markets and Services, Thierry Breton, received notice that Elon Musk was interviewing Donald Trump he had a hissy fit
Still working on the wedgie given to him in primary school for being named Thierry, he issued a toothless statement enforcing censorship in the US knowing the current US administration would permit
It seems the Biden/Harris administration is all for speech censorship if it concerns something they don’t approve
They would like nothing better than the ability to look a written statement that didn’t defend socialism, money laundering, and mass immigration and have the right to remove
The dreaded EU regulated DSA or Digital Services Act was passed in October 2022 regulating social network intent
When passed the European Commission Executive Vice President Margarethe Vestager declared “Democracy’s back” implying we’ll censor your dissent
The censorship train is on the way. All the lanterns are lit. Only this time it’s to warn us of our own policymakers
We need to question the inaction of our own duly elected “movers and shakers”
So before opened greeting cards are received in the mail and text messages are intercepted
Free speech is a tool that built America and citizens cannot let censorship be accepted
Should the British government continue to feel they have the right for America’s free speech to attack
We won’t dump tea this time, we’ll send Harry and Meghan back
