Do you honestly think "true free expression" should be limited to citizens only in the US? It doesn't sound true or free speech to me that foreign students get their visa revoked and deported for opposing a f*cking genocide.
But regardless, there are also black lists of words that government employees are not allowed to use. There's not a single serious journalist left in the Pentagon because they all refused to be censored. Book bans are skyrocketing in many states. Multiple news networks are being sued on an almost weekly basis. The FBI is being weaponized to the point where they directly threatened a Congressmen (Massie) with made up accusations because he intended to vote for releasing the Epstein files....
Last bastion of free speech my ass. It's time freedom loving US citizens stop whining about others and start doing something about their own authoritarian leadership

The reason for the retraction: Monsanto wrote the paper and three corrupt "scientists" attached their names to it. Every bit of research critical of glyphosate was simply left out from this review paper and it was used in literally every regulation on glyphosate around the world justifying it's use as a "safe" herbicide. Best investment Monsanto ever made.
It took honest scientists 25 years to finally have it retracted, because glyphosate does cause cancer after all, as Monsanto's internal research already demonstrated many decades ago.
It should tell you something about the balance of power between corporates and scientists.

It has more of a Craig Wright vibe tbh. Not in the sense that he would scam people like CSW did, but in the sense that he's so committed to being wrong that there's no longer any way back. He can only double down (as we've seen with the csam bs lately) and turns into a caricature as a result. CSW was also preaching to people he was bitcoin's savior.

Yet, as bad as these numbers are, they pale in comparison to the murder rate by Israelis on citizens in Gaza.

No it's not. It's misrepresentation of data, cherry picking, mistaking correlation for causation and a whole bunch of other intentional tricks to fit his racist political agenda
