Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

When Trump rants about "free speech," what he really means is that he wants to censor anyone who points out his lies.
European (and others) who publish factual information about hate groups to counteract their propaganda are being banned from entering the USA.

US (Trump and cronys) are very much jealous of what China and Russia (and others) are able to do to their population through Internet.
“this order is perhaps the clearest signal yet of how the US government and Silicon Valley are one and the same and European liberal democracies are now the enemy”
NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.
It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

In part Trump pushing the conspiracy theory that Obama wasn't a US citizen is what gave birth to his run, he was sticking it to the black man that millions of xenophobic Americans weren't ready for.
There's some irony that the conspiracy theory swirling due the Epstein files could bring him down.
