  • The Grayzone raises over $90,000 for 3 independent journalists.

  • Gofundme freezes the funds.

  • British Counter-Terror Police detains journalist Kit Klarenberg and interrogates him for 5 hours about his political views and reporting.

The West sure loves its press freedom™ huh?

Edit: Thanks for the valuable discussion, I didn't plan to donate anything cuz I also have my reservations towards the Grayzone. But you guys really showed me that I should probably do it anyway 😅

Here is the link if you want to donate too.

Gz

Gofundme is a private company they are free to do what they feel is right within the confines of the law.

As far as I can tell he has been released and not improsined so why it may be an overstep he's hardly been silenced. And the news organisation seems to still be running freely as well.

I can't find any actual information about the event online so it's hard to form an opinion either way.
