I have an idea. Let’s hold politicians & law enforcement responsible for CSAM occurring within their jurisdictions. It makes far more sense than holding the owner of a global online platform w/ a billion users responsible.

Ah, so the Durov arrest had its intended effect on you. Don’t you feel
manipulated? You should. It’s a ridiculous notion that a platform is responsible for every activity of its users and it won’t hold up in the U.S. because our Founders had the foresight to put red lines down on this.
If it does, who cares about social media because it’s time for war.

I believe that’s the point of censuring and punishing people without telling them what post is in violation, which Google pioneered and the others have begun to adopt.
At first, I thought this is just preemptive legal defense. But then it occurred to me that it’s the perfect way to have all the big accounts living and posting in a constant state of nervousness and, thus, it keeps them self-censoring.

It’s the dumbest thing. Same with the institutional buy-in.
I remember when we started this. It was after 2008 had occurred and everyone was reeling from the bailouts. No one misunderstood the purpose.
We were trying out new technology and we wanted to destroy the power of the government and its banking cartel to steal from us by manipulating our economy and creating money from thin air (which they proceed to be as irresponsible as possible with as they rest assured they’ll always be able to take more from us).
People didn’t think it would work out, but no one thought it would work out and the community would be packed with idiots demanding to be regulated and interfered with.
We. Are. At. War. This is a monetary Cold War. We need, need, NEED to start thinking in those terms again. #note13us…furd

They aren’t even that native. Bunch of Northeast Asians who crossed the Bering Land Bridge and proceeded to massacre everyone in their path to continental colonization (we have the bones to prove it). Sound familiar?

Largely a tool of the powers that be.
And they always speak as though they have one voice, but there’s usually serious dissent.
The Keystone Pipeline was supported by many “natives” (they aren’t that native), and the ones that didn’t were mostly upset that they plotted it around their reservation, cutting them out of financial gain.
Simultaneously you had Buffett and the railroads trying to use the State to kill it, lest they lose the business of transporting what would be in the pipeline.
Of course that’s never how it’s framed, but that’s how it is. There’s a reasonable amount of skepticism and scrutiny that should be applied to technology and new infrastructure, but the people demanding a return to the Stone Age must be wholly defeated… #note1yyu…y928

“Tehran Times leaked a confidential recording from "Anti-Defamation League" (ADL) Director Jonathan Greenblatt in which he expresses his concern about rising support for Palestine and opposition to zionism.
Greenblatt raises alarms about generational opposition to the zionist entity and growing recognition of the inalienable legitimacy of armed resistance. He notes the change in language among activists and allies who are increasingly refusing to recognize the zionist entity, accusing these changes of having something to do with Iran.
To solve this "issue," Greenblatt states: "We have a TikTok problem. Our community needs to put the same brains that gave us Taglit [free birthright trips to the zionist entity] to put our energy towards this fast."
Global sentiment is increasingly aligned with the Palestinian cause and resistance despite the ADL's efforts to counter these trends.” https://video.nostr.build/93af86e4ba3bd0ca2b4f9ebeb495ff041a3c3b3cc3410891ca7052a41123c28f.mp4

Absolutely. Israel’s plan leaked. It’s to make them (all 2.2 million) so terrified of bombardment and so desperate for food, water, etc. that they cross into Sinai, Egypt, at which point they’ll swoop in and establish a permanent buffer or “sterile zone.” Then they’ll construct tent cities and beg the West & North Africa to take them on as refugees.
So pure, unadulterated ethnic cleansing with a side of genocide to get it going. We’re talking crimes against humanity and then some here.
