All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...

  • Elon Musk offered to cover your legal bill if you were unfairly treated by an employer because of something you tweeted — but what about mistreatment by the government? In Finland, Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen stood trial twice for charges of “hate speech” over a 2019 Tweet that included a Bible verse and questioned her church’s participation in a local Pride parade.

Freedom needs to be safeguarded—even on social media. That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom is standing for the protection and preservation of free speech in cases where government actors, including the Biden administration, have been caught pressuring technology companies to do their bidding. “Using ...
