The British government sharply limited free speech when it implemented the Defense of the Realm Act.

We are talking about the difficult times in Britain's history when the English government decided to enter World EWar I. This DORA Act or Defence of the Realm Act was approved in Britain on August 8, 1914. The goal of this act was to censor all the voices it considered enemies or that critiqued the British war effort.

Of course, the Defence of the Realm Act was authoritarian. It exerted total social surveillance and control over the British people. The act conceded many powers to the English government such as take private property to be controlled by the government to support the British troops.

The reaction of anti-war activists was immediate. People like Willi Gallacher or Bertrand Russel raised their voices and protested.
