BBC ‘Materially Misled’ Viewers to Believe Trump Encouraged January 6th Riots With ‘Doctored’ Clips

November 19, 2025 Dan Hromada 1

“Examining the charge that Trump had incited protesters to storm Capitol Hill, it turned out that Panorama had spliced together two clips from separate parts of his speech.

“The committee’s oversight has revealed that YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet, was a direct participant in the federal government’s censorship regime. In particular, the committee obtained documents showing that the federal government successfully pressured YouTube to censor certain lawful content, including content that did not violate YouTube’s content moderation policies. Throughout the previous Congress, the committee expressed concern over YouTube’s censorship of conservatives and political speech, including censorship of FBI whistleblowers who testified before the Committee,” Jordan told Alphabet Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai in the March 6 subpoena cover letter.

On Sept. 10, Charlie Kirk was assassinated for exercising that freedom. A week later came Constitution Day, marking the anniversary of our national charter’s completion. Four years after that completion came the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment and its protection of free speech. We may have separated from Great Britain to prioritize individual liberty but as a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing explored, developments there could still undermine the freedom of speech here.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has repeatedly called on European leaders to soften or drop enforcement of the DSA in their negotiations over Trump’s proposed tariffs.
In a post on Truth Social late Monday (August 25), US President Donald Trump criticized digital taxes and related regulations, claiming they unfairly target American tech companies. “Digital Taxes, Digital Services Legislation, and Digital Markets Regulations are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology,” he wrote, warning of “subsequent additional tariffs” if such measures aren’t removed.

The UK Goes Full Orwell

August 30, 2025 Daniel Greenfield via Jihad Watch 1

Recent court hearings revealed that officials had stated that the real purpose was “not primarily aimed at … the protection of children”, but regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse”. There’s only one kind of censorship the British government is really into.
