(Those downvotes...) I was being sarcastic about free speech being a far right dogwhistle. That's what New Labour's bigwigs seem to think, about from Clive Lewis who is a very principled man. And he's like the only one who is not white. Or a Lord. Mayor Khan is a bit of a nuanced quality because he would think that after the Islamophobic abuse he got from that vile Elon. But Tom Watson MP, who used to be a privacy and free speech campaigner, knows better. He's just gone to work with Palantir. The Guardian, the champions of Snowden, have been calling for even more of this surveillance. They got a £50k donation from Meta recently. God, it's embarrassing being British. Polanski's the only party leader to speak out against this. It is quite refreshing.
The fact is, Yoti and these other companies are British big tech, and the argument over free speech vs. censorship is really just US and British big tech trying to compete in the surveillance capitalism space.
