3 July 2025: @Tracking_Power I’m being privately prosecuted by the ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’ under the Communications Act 2003. They say some of my posts on this platform (X) were ‘menacing’ against Jews and Zionists. I had my first hearing today and I’m currently on unconditional bail until a trial that has been given a provisional start date of 15th December. We must fight against this attempted censorship. But we need a strong legal team to do it, which unfortunately has significant costs. If you can support me, please donate here: https://fightingfund.org/stopthecaa
