From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

Britain has never had free speech in the same way as the US, nor even of the press. Only in the last few decades, they’ve only had what’s required by the ECHR.
They literally have a Press Censorship system where they will send something called “D-Notices” to newspapers to shut them up.
GB is #20 world press freedom, netizens included. USA are on #57… So what do you mean exactly by “never had free speech in the same way as the US”?
They mean not guaranteed the same way by law.
Practice of course is a different matter
