Cops fire tear gas at protestors demanding President Ruto resignation

Riot police fired tear gas and charged at stone-throwing protesters in Nairobi and across Kenya amid the most widespread unrest since at least two dozen protesters died last week.

The demonstrations signaled President William Ruto's failure to appease a youth protest movement despite abandoning tax rise plans.

Protests reportedly began peacefully but turned violent, with police clashing with protesters and incidents of arson and injury reported.

🇦🇺 About protests in Sydney against censorship on social media

Today, massive demonstrations were held in Sydney against the "misinformation" bill proposed by the Australian government led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

📌 The essence of the bill: The Australian authorities want to impose fines on digital platforms that, in the government's opinion, do not effectively combat so-called "misinformation". If the law is passed, social media could be fined up to 5% of their annual turnover.

🔻 Of course, the law will primarily become a tool for suppressing freedom of speech, allowing the authorities to interpret what constitutes misinformation and put pressure on social media to remove incorrect content.

The main blow will likely fall on X (former Twitter), as most bloggers with alternative opinions broadcast on this platform. Therefore, one of the bill's vocal opponents is Elon Musk.

We have already observed similar measures in post-Soviet countries, where local authorities, under the supervision of Western NGOs and USAID, are fighting Russian propaganda, but cannot overcome it, demanding new subsidies and tightening legislation.

🔻 And recently, against the backdrop of anti-immigrant protests, the UK government has sharply tightened censorship.

Looking at the British law enforcement practice, where migrants are sentenced to relatively lenient terms for rape and other serious crimes, while native Britons are demonstratively harshly punished with real prison for jokes on Facebook, Australians have reason to be concerned.
