Martin: Organized crime?
Cosmo: Hah. Don't kid yourself. It's not that organized.– Sneakers (1992)
Twitter is absolutely going to say "well, we're definitely not an organised hate group. Sometimes people just hate stuff. We're just a social media platform, helping people organise. Oh shit"
so ... it's not an "organized hate group" but an "organizing hate" group?

Except that Trump is currently trying to dismantle Voice of America" and other propaganda machines around the globe.
yeah i guess trump represents a greater shift towards inward politics. not interfering with the rest of the world so much, just doing internal stuff.

That fact was pretty obvious.
well every fact is pretty obvious ... once you know it

Well duh, it was being discussed here so again, pretty obvious.
There was no need to mention it again. -
While being the biggest pusher of propaganda in US history.
And VOA was only "propaganda" when you consider objective information to be "propaganda", like dumbfuck Trumpers do.
Since 1976 the Charter and later the 1994 International Broadcasting Act legally forbid government officials from dictating content. Don't worry about facts, though.
Trump himself tried to make it a propaganda outlet, doing the exact opposite of what you credit him for. He put Michael Pack in charge who sidelined editors, froze visas for foreign reporters and scrapped long‑standing “fire‑wall” rules that protect editorial independence.
And VOA was only “propaganda” when you consider objective information to be “propaganda”, like dumbfuck Trumpers do.
the thing is that you can deliver heavily skewed pictures with information that is objectively true. consider the following example:
it makes it appear as if AOC is pro-genocide
yet when you actually have more context, you know that AOC is actively anti-genocide, as discussed here. (in the comments)
so, delivering objectively true information can result in heavily skewed images, due to non-proportionality of information, i.e. some details are exaggerated, others are under-reported. and some journals have a tendency to under-report on specific things while over-reporting on others. so it's still possible to lie with objective information, i.e. create images that are not true because they're out of their actual proportion.

Very disappointing indeed. Hoping to at least see continued work on digital independence, especially in governmental entities.
and social media

Our leaders will try not to anger the master too much.
then we need new master, i guess?

They don't want to be forced to listen to what YOU have to say, but they want to force YOU to listen to what they have to say.

What a shithole country.
i don't like that term because it's an insult to my butthole. it just so happens that i think that buttholes can be neat, but the US is not.

No please, don't leave those of us that are rational in here around with the nut jobs. We're trying to correct course but these people are nuts
i am not american but support secession. the blue states should demand state's rights to live their own way of life.

Censorship is when the French ask "what are you doing?"

and social media
And payment infrastructure. Being dependent on Mastercard and Visa is no longer viable.

Oh Rene...what are you doing with the painting of the fallen Madonna with the big boobies?

so what do they do with transport? Or foreign companies using trans in their name?
I’m waiting for the conniption when all these people find out that the cars and trucks they drive have transmissions.
-
Well nobody would expect that.

It did make loads of money though? Why do you get to just push blatant lies?
For the same freedom of speech reasons that we're applying to Colbert. That jerkwad is just as entitled to lie as they are to tell the truth, and it's up to everyone else to call them out on it.
-
But Twitter censors all kinds of posts? There is no free speech on Twitter. Just try posting the word cisgendered and see what happens.

Hasn’t Elon been found multiple times suppressing people who say things he doesn’t like?

Why are they defending an app/website that has essentially become a knockoff of Stormfront?
