Witnesses at a Wednesday House Judiciary Committee hearing, including Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage, sounded the alarm about yet another anti-free speech threat to Americans already battling Big Tech censorship.
While others delved into the threat of governments co-opting Big Tech to censor, Reform UK Party leader Nigel Farage pointed to the disturbing arrest of The IT Crowd creator and Irish citizen Graham Linehan in England over a few tweets on Transgenderism as an example of British authoritarianism. Farage said that this case endangered Americans, noting that Linehan is not a British citizen and made the posts from Arizona well before his arrest.
