'Speaking in parliament on Tuesday, Starmer said that although Britain needs strong internet safety rules to protect children, it also needs to remain a pioneer of free speech.'

it's hard to know if the Government plans to improve the #OnlineSafetyAct or will just exempt American companies.

I think we'd all do well to ignore what's happening in the Dem party at the moment and focus energy on the bad guys dismantling the country.

I doubt any of the folks we used to look to, now squabbling over power, some speaking well, others cowering, will lead us out of this mess.

Acabo de ver un video de los #velezonanos detenidos y deportados por #Trump a El Salvador usando una ley del siglo XVIII para tiempos de guerra.

La #democracia americana ha muerto con el beneplácito mayoritario de la población, que sabía perfectamente cuál era el plan, pero les ha importado poco poner a #fascistas sin careta en la #CasaBlanca porque los precios de los #huevos y la gasolina eran muy altos.

Y los huevos siguen en máximos históricos, porque aunque esa fue la excusa que los fascistas usaron, nunca fue lo que en realidad les movía. Les mueve el poder, el dinero y el odio.

#MalditosFascistas y #MalditosCanallas que los apoyan.

I'm seeing an uptick in video essays under the guise of "just asking questions" attempting to claim there is a conspiracy to destroy #OpenSource, #OpenHardware, #FOSS projects and culture by Far-Left Extremists, #Wokeism, and the #DEI agenda.

None of this is new. They only exploit a new sense of entitlement to more openly speak and act as they long have, emboldened by the spread of anti-democratic, authoritarian, irrational, emotion-driven, ethnocentric rhetoric and assaults on liberty by #Trump and the #TrumpRegime

2/2 "Some news organizations will fight, in an atmosphere of constant anxiety, with the prospect of growing irrelevance. Others will count the cost and give in to pressure. And others will feel the direction of the wind and submit on their own, under no pressure at all, like the circus animal that doesn’t need a trainer to tell it to jump."

textshot: "Trump’s attacks on the press, as on other institutions, show how much democratic freedom depends on custom and restraint. These are always breakable if a president has the will. If an administration decides to give access only to news organizations that provide favorable coverage, the White House Correspondents’ Association can do little more than complain. If a president wants to sue a news organization, assert full control of the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, and use them to coerce a media owner to hand over money, the law and Constitution can’t prevent him. The only obstacle is the media’s willingness to say no, which partly depends on the public’s desire for a free press to exist. Some news organizations will fight, in an atmosphere of constant anxiety, with the prospect of growing irrelevance. Others will count the cost and give in to pressure. And others will feel the direction of the wind and submit on their own, under no pressure at all, like the circus animal that doesn’t need a trainer to tell it to jump."

"The Washington Post is dying not in darkness but by the light of noon, and by its own hand. Over the past few months, the Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, has shed a large part of the paper’s workforce, asserted control over the management of its newsroom, spiked a presidential endorsement for the first time in the paper’s history, and driven out some of its best writers and editors."
