François-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, was one of the most revered and respected thinkers 🤔 of his generation, particularly on topics such as the importance of freedom of speech 📣📣📣
 
🔥 Often misattributed, in her biography of Voltaire, Evelyn Beatrice Hall famously wrote: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" to describe his beliefs… a quote which lives on to this day 🔥
 
➡️➡️➡️ It is a long-held idea that free speech means accepting views which may be contrary to your own still deserve a platform, an idea which is even enshrined in the United States Constitution’s First Amendment:
 
🏛️ “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech…” 🏛️
 
And yet the truth is this: in the 21st century, it’s never been easier for governments, their regulators, and their Silicon Valley stooges to silence dissonant voices 😡😡😡
 
⚠️⚠️⚠️ It’s what happened to us back in 2020, when London Real, having broadcast over 14,000 videos and generated half a billion views over 12 years with some of the most important and influential voices on the planet, was deplatformed without any explanation by YouTube 😱
 
🚀🚀🚀 “We Will Not Be Silenced,” our new documentary which has now been viewed over four million times since it was released exclusively on X less than two weeks ago, tells the story of London Real’s battles with YouTube censorship, how our freedom of speech is being eroded and what we can all do to defend this most fundamental human right 💪
 
🎥 If you haven’t yet watched the film, visit our X channel now at https://londonreal.tv/x and see why people across the world are resonating with the movie’s topics 🎥
