No shit, check the list of countries who cut informations from their people and you’ll easily understand why it causes a backlash.

China, Iran, North Korea to name a few.

Every day, we stray further away from democracy with Macron, Le Pen is gonna win next time and it will be mainly because of him.

Well most of the EU countries including France blocked all media channels from Russia

Media channels from Russia are basically just spouting putin propaganda so why would they want to be subjected to that?

Many countries are spewing propaganda bullshit, including and in majority coming from USA. I don’t think media channels from USA should be blocked.

Switzerland is doing the right thing, they never blocked any news channel or limiting freedom of speech in that way.

Freedom of speech should never be given as an excuse for allowing hate speech, racism, bigotry, fascism or anything else on that vein a platform.

The problem comes when you let the government decide what is “hate speech, racism, bigotry, fascism”. It gives government too much power to control the opposition by censorship.
