Elon Sues Soros-Funded NGOs By James Reed
This is what many of us have been waiting for; a rich guy with some free speech sympathies actually doing something about the Soros-funded NGOs who do so much in pushing freedom of speech restrictions. Elon, who presumably has even more money that Soros and son, will take legal action against such organisations. The details of the actions are not yet available, but this is a good start, and hopefully others with the money will start pushing back against these totalitarian trends. The only way to begin fighting this is through action, and so far the Soros team has had a dream run. Thus, if any funded groups violate the law, those funding them need to be added as parties to the actions. Are you listening, antifa?
“Elon Musk announced on Wednesday that his platform X, formerly known as Twitter, will be taking legal action against George Soros-funded non-governmental organizations for allegedly pushing freedom of speech restrictions.
Journalist and bestselling author Michael Shellenberger shared an article on X by Ben Scallan titled "Soros-Funded NGOs Demand Crackdown on Free Speech As Politicians Spread Hate Misinformation."
Scallan's article explained that Soros' nonprofit organization, Open Society Foundations, allegedly funneled money to various NGOs to promote a "censorship agenda in Ireland and Scotland that includes police searches of homes, phones and computers."
Despite officials' claims, Scallan contended that Ireland is not experiencing more hate-based crimes.
"The increase in 'hate-based offenses' is clearly from an increase in reporting, not actual hate crimes or 'incidents,'" Scallan wrote. Instead, he argued, that the "hype about hate" is being used by politicians to justify passing "a strict new 'hate speech' law" in an "unprecedented assault" on citizens' freedom.

"In the words of government politicians themselves, the law is designed to 'restrict freedom' and to 'make it easier to secure prosecutions and convictions,'" Scallan continued. "What's more, the bill reverses the burden of proof under law — if accused of planning to distribute alleged 'hate' material, the onus is on the accused person to prove their own innocence."
