The European Union's crackdown on free speech is reaching disturbing new levels. Under the guise of progressive ideals, content deemed unfavorable is being censored with unprecedented severity. A recent ruling by a German court exemplifies this trend, forcing the removal of a podcast episode after a complaint was filed by a trans woman over the incorrect use of pronouns.
The court justified this action by citing the violation of personal rights, imposing a potential fine of up to €250,000 or imprisonment for non-compliance. At this point, you really have to ask yourself how the Germans manage to be on the wrong side of history so often.
