“In a democracy, no political figures or political parties should have the right to dictate who does and does not play at music festivals"
Oh the irony of US liberals finally realising that online censorship is akin to book burning;

After a decade of calling for and defending it, and calling anyone who challenged them on it - even from the radical left - a Nazi sympathiser. Fortunately for them, our principled defence of freedom of thought and expression is immune to their shortsighted, partisan hypocrisy.
Supreme Court overturns acquittal of Lee Jae-myung in election law case, ruling his golf and Baekhyeon-dong statements as false information, remanding for retrial amid debate on freedom of expression in elections.

I wrote a piece in The Progressive on the link between extremist doxxing sites and actions taken by ICE/ DHS.
An interesting and concerning part of this (some of which got edited out) is that government agencies' timelines of visa revocations are quite suspicious, happening rapidly and without notifying anyone until after #Immigration officials attempt or succeed in abducting political targets, selected for their opposition to genocide.
First they came for the student on a Visa… by Thanos Kalamidas
The problem with slippery slopes is that by the time you’ve realized you’re on one, you’re already halfway down, headfirst.

Competition makes for a safer Internet.
We urge UK Ministers to exempt small community sites that are at little risk of hosting harmful content and not force them to collapse under the weight of disproportionate duties.
Write to your MP to #SaveOurSites

We need to break down the monopoly walled gardens.
Online safety can come from people freely choosing platforms that respect their privacy and align with their values.
Taking active steps to force small sites to shut down or block UK users plays into the hands of monopoly control of the Internet.
Net plurality gives us choice and voice on the Internet, so communities of interest can grow with user-driven moderation.
Online Safety duties will put community groups off small web projects and entrench the power of Big Tech who have the resources to deal with so much regulation.
With over 1600 pages of guidance on Online Safety duties, Ofcom (UK) has dealt a sucker punch to small blogs, forums and fedi instances.
Onerous duties with the threat of fines has led to many sites shutting down already.
Only the largest companies that engineer harms can realistically comply.

For me, a woman is someone who was born with the primary female sexual characteristics, everything else is classified as trans.
I am not against trans people or their human rights or their right to free development, I am only interested in the definition, for me!
Putting up with a different opinion is part of freedom of expression.
#Cornell also targeted Momodou Taal with accusations like these, in attempts to punish him for his opinions eventually the feds used these mischracterizations to target Taal too, who left the country out of concerns he'd be abducted by the American Gestapo

Singapore for example ... many of the remaining independent media have been [censored using these laws]"

"I don't trust all experts. I go and do a journal article and get it published, and oftentimes my articles are calling into question other articles that other experts ... have written. So one of the things we do amongst experts is to challenge each other openly, often, and that's how we build knowledge. "
