ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! , @OxfordUnion has started Censoring ALL valid Criticism towards them. About a few Hours ago they Falsely Copyrighted the User "Sargon of Akkad" and removed his video. They claim to be "The Last Bastion of Free Speech" while they Falsely Copyright all valid criticisms towards them. The Oxford Union has become the very thing that it had swore to fright against. I ask you my fellow Defenders of Free Speech to Dislike every Oxford Union Video, Spam every comment section , and to Relentlessly Tweet at them. Why should you do this? Simply because its the right thing to do. If we dont stand up for free speech, who will? Not the Feminists, not the Islamist's, not the Social Justice Warriors. 2016 is the Year that we Push back The #RegressiveLeft , so i ask you my fellow Defenders of Free Speech to Fight for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!1!! of Speech.

It's a disturbing trend, but the way to fight this it not trolling.

If they have claimed to be "The Last Bastion of Free Speech" while employing these tactics, that could open them up to some kind of class action lawsuit by all current students and graduates of Oxford who disagree with this new policy of censorship for a refund of their tuition fees.

Somebody with clout needs to start a gofundme or indiegogo or some other crowdfunding endeavor, and use that money to contact lawyers in the UK who believe in free speech and arrange the class action suit.

Also, contact the ASA:

I'm not familiar with their governance, but while you can censor to your heart's content in accordance with the law as a private group, you can not employ false advertising. Also, if they receive any public funding, this could open them up to further law suits.

Perhaps a more effective approach would be to avoid "spamming", and instead posting reasons you disagree with them in a positive manner. (Ie) "If you are afraid of people talking negatively, soon no one will talk at all".

I spoke on this in another thread, but responding with anger never accomplishes anything. Be loud, be vocal, but avoid being angry. (Letting someone make you angry means you have given them control of your emotions. They hold the power... Take it back!)
