Looking at Europe today, it's concerning to see potential reversals of Cold War victories. In Brussels, EU commissars threaten to shut down social media for "hateful content." In this very country, police are raiding citizens for anti-feminist comments online, supposedly combating misogyny. Sweden convicted a Christian activist for Quran burnings after his friend's murder, with the judge noting free expression doesn't allow offense to groups holding certain beliefs.
Most concerningly, in the UK, conscience rights are eroding, endangering religious Britons' liberties. Adam Smith Connor, an army veteran, was charged for silently praying near an abortion clinic. Despite not obstructing or interacting with anyone, he was found guilty under a new law criminalizing silent prayer within 200 meters of such facilities. In Scotland, letters warned citizens that even private prayer at home might break the law, urging them to report suspected thought crimes. Free speech is in retreat across Europe.
