It's a waste of resources, but please do it! The entire "European Union censors" narrative is a hoax [1], so the portal will achieve nothing, but you've got to do what you've got to do! [1] First, the EU countries have much higher World Press Freedom Index than the US. Second, once you start reading how little there is of the alleged "censorship" in the EU, you realize it's a no-brainer aiming to protect people.

There's a hate speech / violence law in the UK that is getting some people arrested for saying things like "round up all people of race X, put them into a hotel, and burn the hotel down." People like Joe Rogan and his ilk are re-packaging those examples as "people being arrested for just sharing their opinion."
I don't know what Joe Rogan says or who his ilk are, but this is a pretty extreme characterization of the situation that I don't think is accurate. For example, UK police track what they consider to be undesirable " non-crime " speech, build databases of people, and intimidate them for these non crimes (knock on their doors, invite them to come to police station, advise them not to say such things, etc). This is quit…
Isn't the conviction rate the number of people convicted divided by the number charged, not the number arrested?

Press freedom !== entirety of freedom of speech European politicians are calling every day to censor social media. People are arrested regularly for social media posts. Censorship is absolutely an issue in Europe and it’s only getting worse. I welcome such an attitude as this.

The constitution is just words on paper.
If something looks like MITM, chances are it is MITM.

Be that as it may, people are being arrested for expressing wrong think
No, people are being arrested for making malicious communications. They would have suffered the same punishment if they had used email, letter, graffiti on a billboard. You cannot go around threatening to harm people without repercussions.
Guising it under a scary sounding law doesn’t change the nature of it.

There are so so many reasons to get arrested for social media posts that have nothing to do with censorship.

US talks about freedom and enforces other things... The constitution is just words on paper.
Freedom is the foundational root, not the current fruit. And it’s a testament to freedom that she could withstand for so long.

Looks like German firewall has more holes than Russian or Chinese one. Are you using VPN? It’s still blocked for me.
