“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.

My Sgt. Major shook my hand in the late '80s when I turned up on parade with a battered face, alongside my Sikh mate in same state. We'd got in a scrap with a dozen or more BNP.
Sgt. Maj: what have you two been up to?
My mate: fighting Nazis Sir
Sgt. Maj: well done lads. That's what we're here for.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.
