This is why you canโ€™t trust Europeans with their regulations, they are just as corrupt as the Americans. And I love regulation, but the politicians that end up calling the shots are as stupid, tainted and corrupt as our trumpian overlords.

We truly are ruled by crooks.

Europe Is Sanctioning Critics of Israel and Militarism

Sanctions were once sold as a gentler foreign policy tool for exerting pressure on dictatorships and terrorist organizations. Yet measures like banning individuals from having bank accounts or traveling are increasingly used to chill free speech in Europe.

@Migueldeicaza People working for Putin, whether directly for RT or for a subsidiary of RT, should be sanctioned by the EU. This is reasonable.

Russia is shooting drones at the EU and cutting our undersea cables, and we just let their propagandists run around? That's crazy.

I'm glad the EU is doing this.

@txtx I donโ€™t have time today to explain principles of law to a European. But ChatGPT can probably do it in my abscence

@Migueldeicaza Hate/nazis speech is illegal in much of the EU.

I'm glad it is.
