And dismissing concerns about "memory hole"ing, by pandering to hatred of rich companies, isn't propaganda?

The NGO in question has a budget of 7 million pounds a year employing over 100 people to do, in their words: lobbying.

The actually law was put in place by representatives of the voting majority of EU.

Yes, you can inflammatorily impugn the motives of people arguing in favor of any side. That doesn't make the concerns about free speech invalid, it just means you're willing to resort to similar propagandistic tactics.

Edit: rewrite after understanding your point better.
