DISINFO: There is definitely no freedom of speech in the West
SUMMARY
There is definitely no freedom of speech in the West. Probably, the events of the last few years have shown this. Such a quantity of ordered materials, such a quantity of fakes that are now published by the most respected publications, of course, it would have been difficult to believe this two years ago.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about censorship and control of the media in the West. Accusations of censorship and attacks against freedom of expression are a recurring pro-Kremlin technique to defend the illicit actions of Russia’s state-sponsored disinformation outlets.
According to Reporters Without Borders, the nations with the most press freedom and freedom of speech are Western countries, with European nations predominating, Canada, and the United States. In contrast, Russia, with increasing authoritarian trends, ranks 162nd out of 180 in the press freedom rankings, with researchers stating that the Kremlin is determined to control the Internet and the media.

Read similar cases claiming that the West cannot cope with freedom of opinion and imposes censorship, that Freedom of expression is allowed only to denounce white Americans as racist or that the era of liberal democracy and freedom of speech is over – corporations and states are unified in promotion of censorship, that Press freedom means nothing to the European Union; that The European Union is a democratic dictatorship, that there is no press freedom in the West, that Western countries are persecuting Russian media, and that The military controls western media.
