Sounds like the people who sell weapons(the war kind) have a strong hold on our governments through lobbying/corruption. Is there a career politician that speaks out against these systems? It feels like the governments work for them, not the people. What do?

Shameful this is happening but I was curious to why are these laws so strict there? Was it because of why/when they were written? Maybe some info on how seriously the locals live by these laws? The article could have explored that regions' strictness more, it just repeats the title, over and over into a few paragraphs. Similar to news coverage of a fire.

Don't strip away individual rights, unless they are trying to assemble a communistic state, then feel free to roll over them with your freedom tanks. What have 'we tried enough' of other than destroy nations as soon as someone wants to socialize resources that our greedy businessmen could've exploited?

Keep your goddamned 'Freedom to be ignorant' to yourself, the world does not need this export.

Pathetic.

I have a hard time lumping in swathes of people into these tiny slivers of beliefs. How is it not obvious that one side did a better job of demonizing the other? I'm pretty sure I can comment 'And would like to be able to eat babies' and I will be seeing it on similar posts as yours by tomorrow.

The media did one hell of a job this past election cycle, I wonder what batshitinsane things we will be allowed to talk about on the next one. I doubt much.

Now that we haved moved censorship officially online as well, I can only hope some wonderful people are busy building the next workaround medium.

Have you personally seen Michelle Obama's sexual organs that you can 100% be certain with your claims?

Every since the ban on free speech, I really haven't followed what the conspiracies are. What I do hear is 3rd party reports on what those conspiracies are and what 'they believe'.

You listed off a bunch of nonsense - do you really think people actually believe that crap or are you the one fooled into thinking someone actually believes that? The more outlandish they sound, the better case for censoring, right? These cases just sound like a reporter went on 4chan, decided they dont like this so they must be the 'other side'. And it was enough to convince the majority that censorship is the way.

Better phrased, let's stop giving attention to a desperate media who's only function in this past decade is cancelling culture they don't approve. (culture censorship)

Both sides are extremely polarized, only one side seems to be able to share their opinion online. One side believes this is proper because they answer to the 'science'. What does the science say about censorship? We've seen it before.

We are singling out Apple here because the point the OP pasted has to do with Apple's walled garden and not allowing payments from browsers since they couldn't collect the ransom.

Right to repair would be great, I am sure Apple has spent millions lobbying against it. Why do you think Apple shouldn't be singled out?

I can see what you are trying to say but I can't see how we can compare them in this sense People involuntarily are born into a government, without choice. Yet they get to pick which Corp to be governed by when joining social media.

They govern completely different things (policies made and shaped for completely diff functions)and if this FB leadership was in charge of a country it would fail immediately. Apples to oranges IMO

I half agree with this. It is about scaling, scaling exploitation of workers. You think Bezos actually made his money fairly? Or does it matter to anyone since the winners just pull wool over everyones eyes?

How this privileged viewpoint came to prevail is most likely from decades of brainwash. Wealth has power to keep that message strong and alive.

This keeps coming up in almost every thread because of so many blinded by acquiring capital. The Myth of the Temporarily Embarassed Millionaire. Shine on

Sucks to see this. I think I even mentioned your site on here just this past week.

Didn't think I'd see the author but since you're here, thanks, this has been my go-to over the years.

I have found next-episode.net to be useful for this. I don't think you can get any insider news there but their status has been accurate to know when its been cancelled, or latest word of renewal.

Not sure why this is greyed out, questioning authoritative sources should not automatically label someone a disinformation army.

I dislike that we are in a race to create a ministry of truth(it's ok we will only silence the baddies).

Somewhere else in the thread a poster thinks we should not engage with these ideas as it fuels them. I think censoring the idea engages with it more than letting it be taken apart and ignored in the public view.

Can I get sauce on this? You keep claiming Churchill saved the world from ze Germans, it sounds like a wild claim, where can I read more about this?

You want to steal 61million as well? Join a corporation. Conform or get stomped.

And I am offended when a few loud voices maximize it. It is called making a mountain out of a mole hill and the media did well here to convince so many to not give too much thought about giving up their rights again.

Very similar to 9/11 except less casualties thankfully. Just an interesting observation of how much control screens can exert then vs now. More are connected with constant access. We need better screen diets.

I believe Youtube was asked by a few US Senators to take down(censor) election fraud related videos. They did not act from policy.
