A post on X by America First Legal says a UK-based organization is using the US and Biden-Harris influence to silence Americans and end their right to free speech. . The organization is called the Center for Countering Digital Hate, and during its short existence it has an illustrious history of disrupting free speech in both the UK and the US.
CCDH is just one notable example from the past. infamous For “direct involvement in online censorship” in the “incident surrounding the 'naming and shaming' of the alleged new coronavirus”disinformation dozenThis included CCDH “explicitly calling out these Americans,” according to the AFL's X post. [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]will be de-platformed. ”
If we don't stand up to the flagrant attacks on our freedoms now, our future will only have to look across the pond to Britain.
However, it has recently emerged that the CCDH may be attempting to censor free speech. New documents have emerged showing that the UK and US branches of the CCDH allegedly conspired to censor free speech. The internal documents contain some damning details, but there are deeper issues that America First Legal is demanding an investigation into.
america first legal requested The Center for Countering Digital Hate is suspected of having ties to British political figures and will be investigated under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The request calls for the FARA unit to investigate CCDH's U.S. branch and members of its board and leadership and “require them to register as agents of foreign actors, including the UK Labor Party and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).” “Determine whether or not there is one.” Britain'), due to their systematic efforts to censor the speech of the American people and interfere with elections. ”
The document names Simon Clark, Imran Ahmed, and Thomas Conrad Brooks, among others, as the targets of the FARA request.
As the claim establishes, both CCDH UK and the UK Labor Party are considered foreign principals under FARA. The AFL said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a member of the British Labor Party, was “in conflict with Elon Musk over X”, possibly over the issue of free speech on social media.
The letter continues: “CCDH UK shares an address with 'Labour Together', a think tank associated with the British Labor Party.” Especially at this time, there is a link to US influence. “Labor Together CEO Jonathan Ashmoth met with Kamala Harris' campaign at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to advise on policy issues ahead of the general election.” CCDH has been referred to by some, including Matt Taibbi, as Labor Together's “message vehicle.” CCDH also claims credit for demonetizing a news organization “allegedly publishing 'fake news'” in the UK.
The AFL's main argument is that “CCDH UK is asking CCDH US and members of its board and leadership team to help advocate for a similar censorship policy in the US, which is clearly a political move by the UK Labor Party.” “Aims to combat and change the culture of free speech in the United States in order to advance political action.'' social agenda. ” There is also little separation between the two branches, “CCDH US and CCDH UK share the same mission and reporting chain of command.”
By virtue of the fact that there is no real separation in leadership, organization and mission, and by “acting as an agent of CCDH UK and the British Labor Party”; [CCDH US] It appears that you will need to register as an agent of a foreign principal under FARA. ”
According to recently leaked documents, the CCDH US agenda includes several political activities in line with or on behalf of foreign principles. For example, “yearly priorities'' include “taking down Musk's Twitter,'' “focusing on advertising,'' “imposing regulatory measures in the EU and UK,'' and “progress towards change in the United States.'' It was included.
This agenda is consistent with past actions and is the basis for charges of political action on behalf of foreign principals. “CCDH US seeks to influence U.S. federal and state governments regarding the following policies:” [censorship] on social media platforms. ”
CCDH and the British Labor Party are actively involved in promoting censorship in the United States. Americans' right to free speech is under attack at the highest levels of government. American First Legal is standing up to this blatant attack on our First Amendment rights, but there is no guarantee that this election interference and censorship will end. If we don't stand up to the flagrant attacks on our freedoms now, our future will only have to look across the pond to Britain.
