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.

      Oh true. Lemme correct that: There’s nothing such as a domestic terrorist organization in the US. The point being that it’s impossible under US law to make affiliation with or support for a domestic organization a criminal act. The charge is dubious all around, but it’s not an attack on free speech.
