Remember when Brazil banned Twitter because Elon Musk broke the law. And the liberals said that this was an attack on freedom of expression and that the judges of the Brazilian Supreme Court were not elected (ignoring the fact that the same thing happens in the US).
But also AMLO making judges electable is doin an authoritarianism lol truly fish brained people
I think it was Michael Parenti that said something like: “If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed, but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike, this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system. if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them.” These people will never be happy with anything that isn’t full submission to the US.
Even if they completely capitulate to US control the media would still point at those exact things as criticism that they are doing it wrong or that there’s just “too much corruption” in their “society*.”

Awesome. I love logging onto Facebook or Instagram and seeing hateful content directed at minorities and thinly veiled neonazisim, but we certainly can’t let those pesky Ruskis keep on spreading misinformation!
Ant Blinken says african stream is propaganda and these doing a tik tok ban. Somehow twitter interfering with the election in certain ways, proliferating the far right, having a CEO incite violence towards a sitting president and doesnt warrant a response. In fact it gets him extended DoD contracts (despite his documented refusal to to have Starlink support Ukraine attack. Not defending the dod or anyone just curious to me) Whats really good?
Bredda I’m betting you like me have been using that chart like nuts everytime on social media. Thats the acceptable “russian propaganda” I guess.
I like African Stream a lot they literally just post marxist stuff, fuck amerikkka.
I assume they’ll be banned on reddit soon then, they’ve been personally posting to /r/greenandpleasant and a few other leftist places. Super successful on tiktok as well.
damn, they got African Stream?! wishing a slow and painful death to amerikkka
well it is twitter and meta so shouldn’t be surprised abt the platforms they got banned from. plus youtube’s been trigger happy w/ its content policy for a long time now
e: just meta, not twitter
Another American platform.
Telegram
A platform recently compromised by the French government.
The Cold War 2.0 information crackdown is already here. At first it will be the low-hanging fruit: channels on corporate platforms. After that will be more subtle McCarthy-type pressure, then overt. If anyone is doing anything important on a corporate platform, it’s time to make alternative-communication plans now.
There is PeerTube, but I am not sure if they incorporate it. And there is no alternative for Telegram that is FLOSS.
