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?

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.
I was refering to the hole you shit in, not the hole you shit out of.

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"
offtopic: I love that movie. It shows everything right despite everything being not serious.

The word "propaganda" is tricky. It has connotations of being lies, but that isn't always or even usually the case. Objectively true information can literally be propaganda. The mission of the VoA is to spread American propaganda. That's why it's funded. That can be truths that foreign governments want to suppress, it can be spin, or it can be lies. VoA is generally pretty truthful, especially compared to the privately run domestic versions like cable news outlets.
Government officials don't need to dictate content. As you pointed out, content can be controlled by who is appointed to manage the content. They know the mission.
The word "propaganda" means any intentionally spread information. It doesn't specify whether it's right or wrong. It's literally "something to propagate".

then we need new master, i guess?
There are layers of national, then European sold out politicians before you get to VDLeyen the ghoul

just like my mom. god i miss her from before she went crazy
She's still in there somewhere, locked away by propaganda. She needs to be deprogrammed, just like the rest.

how much ? cause the cost is high too.
anywayHowever, the “pros” ultimately won out because, according to sources close to the network, “The Late Show” was losing money and there was no apparent path to turning around its financial position.

Like axing a show that didn't make money ?
Even if that were true, which it isn't, what business does the president have even mentioning it much less making a demand?

Can someone explain why a post in favour of free speech is being downvoted on lemmy ?
