They are right, there are countries in European Union where people are arrested and harassed by authorities for critiquing immigration and other stuff.
And removed from positions of authority or facing trumped up (heh) charges or threated with $1Billion lawsuits for speaking out against the president/prime minister.
We all know what kind if information the Trump administration and their allies want to spread: misinformation, disinformation and right wing propaganda. Then they accuse anyone fact checking it or otherwise of 'censorship' when they refuse to allow it to spread.
Happens all the time in the EU.
