At a U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC) questioned witnesses about UK censorship. When asked about Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s claim that the UK has “no free speech problem,” a witness strongly disagreed. Examples included arrests for silent prayer, consensual conversations, and preaching the gospel. The hearing also highlighted the UK Online Safety Act, EU Digital Markets Act, satire crackdowns, and the future of free expression across Europe.
