Britain is Losing its Free Speech, and America Could be Next

From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.
I thought that the US charging people with terrorism willy-nilly was already par for the course
There's no domestic terrorism charge in the US. Only foreign organizations can be declared to be terrorist organizations. First Amendment.
Edit: And even then only giving material support for such organizations is a chargeable offense.
Luigi Mangione was indicted on charges of murder as an act of terrorism.
No organisations. Individuals can be declared terrorists and held indefinitely and have their human rights violated up to and including torture without even seeing a judge. USA! USA! USA!
As if the current administration gives a fuck about the constitution.
