After we – and many other free speech groups – spent years sounding the alarm on the suppression of open conversation online, Mark Zuckerberg has this week committed to winding back censorship across all Meta platforms \u2013 including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.<\/p>

In a monumental announcement, the CEO admitted that the third-party \u201cfact-checkers\u201d employed to moderate content on Meta were \u201ctoo politically biased\u201d, and that it\u2019s \u201ctime to get back to our roots around freedom of expression.\u201d<\/p>

This isn\u2019t just good news for Instagrammers and influencers. It marks a sea change in the public landscape, indicating an expectation that our right to free speech will be honoured\u2014whether on or offline.<\/p>

We can celebrate this important milestone and will be watching closely to see if Zuckerberg follows through on his promises. But at ADF International, we\u2019re still keenly aware that the threat to free speech comes not only from privately run internet platforms but also from governments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Take P\u00e4ivi R\u00e4s\u00e4nen<\/a>. This Finnish member of parliament will soon be heading to a criminal trial at the Supreme Court because of a Bible-verse tweet she posted in 2019. It wasn\u2019t a social media platform that censored her Christian view\u2014it was the state authorities. The case is due before the Finnish Supreme Court this year.<\/p>

Or take Chris Elston<\/a>, a.k.a viral internet sensation Billboard Chris. Last February, he posted about his disapproval of the WHO\u2019s selection of an infamous transgender activist to be on a panel setting guidelines for global transgender policy.<\/p>

It wasn\u2019t a social media platform that decided that his opinion shouldn\u2019t be heard\u2014it was the Australian authorities. We\u2019re supporting his fight for free speech as he goes to court in March, alongside \u201cX,\u201d who wants to be able to host his viewpoint without government interference.<\/p>

It\u2019s easy to become discouraged as we live through an era where speaking the truth can land you in legal trouble. But this week, we mark yet another clear indication that we\u2019re moving the needle in the right direction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
