The EU’s ‘disinformation’ crackdown and the death of Redfish
Purged from many platforms for its connections to Russian media in 2022, news company Redfish is now announcing its forced closure — an affront to free speech that is a warning to us all

SINCE 2017, Berlin-based left-wing media outlet Redfish has dedicated itself to reporting from the perspective of people around the world who are oppressed by the capitalist system.

In that time Redfish has grown an online community of over one million followers, pioneered unapologetically radical left-wing storytelling to a global audience and won multiple awards for its documentaries and digital storytelling innovations.

All of this the Redfish team achieved under immense pressure, encompassing a sustained campaign of mainstream media smears, social media censorship and state-sanctioned harassment.
