NounsAndWords,

The King of Jordan approved a bill Saturday to punish online speech deemed harmful to national unity, according to the Jordanian state news agency, legislation that has drawn accusations from human rights groups of a crackdown on free expression in a country where censorship is on the rise.

Okay, so it’s not all online speech, just those statements that the government deems harmful without any clarity on what specifically that would entail. Just some good old-fashioned fascism right here.
