How is freedom of speech being threatened?
1.Government Authoritarian governments whose primary aim is to stay in power want to ensure that any media coverage is favourable. In order to control the public narrative, they appoint political figures to media authorities and exercise financial and editorial control over mainstream media outlets. As reported by our member organization in our 2022 Media Freedom Act. Hungary is an egregious example of this where over 80% of the media market is controlled directly or indirectly by the Hungarian government.

The Lost Scrolls of 2023. Content Warning.

High up on a hill...With that kind of elevation, you probably had quite the view!

Deadpool & Wolverine Breaks An 8-Year Marvel Movie Trend. AI-Generated.
A cause exists in the universe for why Deadpool & Wolverine deviates from the other entries in the franchise. Deadpool 3's brutal honesty against the MCU was one of its more unexpected features. It even made fun of how disorganized Marvel's Multiverse Saga had been and implied that Wolverine was coming at a bad time. Wade Wilson's brand of humor is known for its meta-commentary, so it should come as no surprise that Deadpool & Wolverine was full of them, but it was nice to see Marvel not be scared to poke fun at itself.
