"...the US State Department has recently warned Irish regulators against pressuring American tech companies to limit, or what it more evocatively calls chill, free speech following a meeting with the Irish media commissioner, Coimisiun na Mean, and officials from the Department of Justice."
wrote Gary Murphy in The Sunday Times yesterday.
It's welcome news for us in Ireland as it's almost impossible to hear any opposing views on gender identity ideology aired other than on social media, given the mainstream media's reluctance to provide balanced coverage.
"America will no longer tolerate Ireland’s war on free speech. Caught between Brussels and Washington, and economically tethered to both, Dublin now finds itself in an incredibly tight spot." headline of Michael Murphy's article in The Telegraph on June 1st
Just two years ago under the previous Administration the US State Department supported Institute for Strategic Dialogue @isdglobal was planning to include Women's Space Ireland in its report on an "online mis- and disinformation ecosystem in Ireland."
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue sits on a sub-group of the Government's National Counter Disinformation Strategy.
When challenged to produce evidence of such "mis- and disinformation" one of three pieces of evidence produced was referring to Lia Thomas as a man.
What a turnabout that the US State Department may actually provide some protection against an attempt to silence women from calling out the men's fetish of autogynephilia which puts women and children at risk:

Article in Gript, June 13th "LGBTQ+ action plan commits to hate speech legislation"
The Criminal Justice (Hate Offences) Act 2024 came up with this novel definition of "gender":
Only the most misogynistic of governments could possibly enact such nonsense putting women and children at a disadvantage from sexual perverts.
