#FreedomOfExpression

(2/2)

As a bonus, smoking gun evidence that proprietary platforms don't really care about freedom of expression when it matters, despite their handwaving about "free speech" when it suits them;

> Meta insisted it wasn’t a bug. When we published videos demonstrating the issue, they asked YouTube to take them down. YouTube removed one video and gave us a strike

They don't care about freedom of the press, so we must.

If we had #FreedomOfExpression in America, it's possible that we could have prevented the suicide of empire, but because we don't, because popular voices have been either too cowardly or misinformed to actually critique the fact that nation states kept falling into the known traps set by these insurgents, well, those traps worked. Most people have no idea why bin Laden planned 9/11. Do you?

My conclusion on social media is that so-called "white male" with moderate and inclusive views should probably stay away from it, disabled or not. Because it is a motivation destroyer frankly unless one loves AI topic trend.

Next? Pay for YOUR personal private security! (sarcasm)

Bluesky once stood out for its commitment to free expression. Its move to block UK users over age verification laws signals a shift toward censorship.

And these systems rarely stop there. They tend to expand into broader identity control that makes anonymity harder and speech more fragile.

That’s how platforms become quiet tools of centralized governance.

Survey: “About three to four times more Americans said they did not feel free to express themselves, compared with the number of those who said so during the McCarthy era. (…) The robust debate so necessary to deliberations in a democracy is squelched as the views of a minority come to be seen as the only ‘acceptable’ political views.”

Should there be rules around dropping flyers with graphic imagery into your mailbox? rawchili.com/nhl/111127/ #abortion #Edmonton #EdmontonOilers #EdmontonOilers #FreedomOfExpression #Hockey #NHL #Oilers

Should there be rules around dropping flyers with graphic imagery into your mailbox?

At the heart of this decision is the logic of ‘pre-crime’.

Where the state intervenes not just against unlawful acts, but also against political expression that it considers might become threatening.

This turns activism into extremism. Legitimate political demands into a national security threat.

The proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group starts tomorrow.

This is a dangerous escalation in the criminalisation of political dissent in the UK.

It’ll increase surveillance, particularly under the Prevent Duty, and censorship under the Online Safety Act.

As there’s no public evidence of any link to terrorism or support of terrorist groups from Palestine Action, Open Rights Group supports their decision to appeal proscription.

While we may have differing opinions on their tactics, we stand against this attack on their right to exist and speak out.

Noa Limona details in #Haaretz how the Shin Bet intelligence service summoned a Palestinian student from Haifa University for interrogation regarding his activities with the #Hadash (left) party’s university branch.

The student underwent body searches twice - upon arrival and before entering the interrogation room. When he asked if this was a formal investigation, the Shin Bet operative said no, adding cryptically that “the investigation will be underground, without light.”

The operatives explicitly warned the student not to “cross red lines” or “even come close to them.” They allegedly threatened that if he did, they would raid his parents’ house at 4 AM and destroy it.

[…] Haaretz has learned that another Arab student who belongs to the Haifa University Hadash branch was summoned for a similar warning talk. The second student said he preferred not to talk to Haaretz for fear of the consequences.

Na Turquia, se a ilustradora Zehra Ömeroğlu é libertada após 5 anos de processos devido a um #cartoon ‘obsceno’, na revista LeMan os editores (incluindo o editor-chefe), o designer gráfico e um ilustrador foram presos por “ofenderem os valores religiosos, publicamente”.
