@Timcast Hey there Tim, another great well thought piece on alt right and intelectual dark web here:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/22/when-the-media-starts-celebrating-hipster-fascists-something-has-gone-very-wrong

Lel this must be new low for guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/23/kendrick-lamar-white-rap-fans-n-word-off-limits

You can sing n words only when black

😏

Also @Timcast here is another of those backfire policy stories. https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/labour-self-identification-transgender-woman-david-lewis-womens-officer/

You did predict this will happen

"A man has been suspended from Labour after he attempted to subvert the party’s rules on gender self-identification. Party activist David Lewis claimed he identified as a woman “on Wednesdays”, and so was eligible to stand for the constituency Labour Party’s (CLP) women’s officer position, as the election happened to fall on a Wednesday."

Theoreticaly its all about what you claim

Thats why it is so stupid

Well i predict this is going to backfire

Just imagine twitter handle of next dem president

Especially if its woman or another person of colour

It will be funny to see sjw fuming how they cant do anything about it lol

Nah she was fishing for retweets

Sargon made vid about her

And described her very accurately

Anyway declaring it public forum might mean that every politicians twatter will be deemed as such

And the fact that they will not be able to block ppl will make it very lucrative to employ professional shitposters

You will have team of ppl just folowing oposite partys accs and derailing and shitposting under neath without worry

As long as they dont break rules any nonsense and reaction images will be legit ok

Yeah but it make sense for politician beeing able to currate his own social media acc

Making it impossible is making it harder to actually communicate with electorate if the politician chooses so

Very professional lol

I hope he at least mentioned it

In that article

Sure deserves a videa in any case

Its game changer

No just official political acc shouldent be able to

According to the judge

I think they might come with some sort of guideline for it

Maybe you will be able to set rules of conduct

Yeah as i said it will very likely backfire big time

Funny thing is that i agree in principle

You should have a public forum

But not beeing able to currate your own twitter feed is different

Well i take it more as space for comunication with rules set by the politician

Another thing will be accountability imo

Will you be able to sue twitter if say bernie sanders blocks you

And they dont revoke it ?

Thats what is going to be very interesting

Right now

For example you cant realy do anything

To the social compenies itself right now

So wven when you get unfairly banned thats your problem

But if some parts are public forum

It will be up to the providers to make sure everyone has equal access

Tor sucks tho

At least on smartphones

Well it never works well for me

Had to use different vpn tool to bypass silly british blocks

Lel is that a local rule here ?

Wearing a beanie on avatars ?

@Timcast this is also pretty interesting https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/24/irish-anti-abortion-campaigners-dodge-google-ad-ban

Putting those adds into mobile games is an ingenious move lol

"Kiloo, the Danish developer behind the popular Subway Surfers mobile game, said it was baffled by how Irish players were seeing anti-abortion adverts and insisted: “In no way do we want anything political like this in our game.”

Shows that even the game devs have no real influence what adds show in their games

Its all automated targeting done by add bots

It ends pretty ominously

"Anti-abortion groups claim Google’s decision to unilaterally ban all adverts relating to the Irish referendum shows “direct foreign interference in a referendum campaign” but Dwyer said the company had set a global precedent, which it would now come under pressure to replicate in future elections around the world. “It shouldn’t be these companies that are self-regulating, it should be our government that is setting the rules that they then have to follow.”

I like the commenters are telling her she is stupid

🤣

Frankly in London they had so much cuts in police force that they dont have ppl to do those body searches

After 6 in the afternoon you will not meet patroling officier unless you call for him/her

The scary thing about yt is that they can terminate your channel at any time for any reason and you cant do a thing about it

Also i am not sure if i agree with you all about that Tommy Robinson thing

He knew he was provoking them pretty hard when we was reporting in front of court after he got that 1st sentence imo

If he had only written comentary after the preceeding He would have been fine probably

Tbh the news commentary is not worth the trouble for yt

Thats why they are so nasty towards them

They only want lame stream media

Or shills like young turks

Btw young turks have broken those drug rules countless times

And are fine

😔

I have lost count how many times did they told their audience that smokimg weed is ok and they should try it

Going as far as describing their own experiences with beeing under influence and so on

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/26/us-liberal-islamophobia-rising-more-insidious

Kek

"Maajid Nawaz leverages his as a “former Islamist”, brown skin and an affiliation with Harris, to peddle Islamophobia within largely cosmopolitan circles and liberal audiences. His Quilliam Foundation the Islamophobic tenet that radicalization is a uniquely Muslim phenomenon, and Nawaz has stated that “Islamism is the biggest form of extremism”, endorsing destructive policing programs that have eroded the civil liberties of Muslims in the United Kingdom. With the help of Harris, Nawaz has extended his native informant reach into the United States. "

There realy should be some sort of quality control of what opinion pieces they show

They look at it from the point of power dynamics

They see the move to try to smear legitimate critics as islamophobes more advantageous then risks of legitimazing actual islamophobes

Notice how little actual facts did the profesor used in that article

I find the need to put muslims calling for reforms of their beliefs most interesting in that article.

Clearly he wants any criticism be recognised as phobic reaction

I dont mind ppl publishing their opinions

But the press should be held acountable for them

That article was bordering on libel imo

Frankly if i was conspiracy theory guy

I would say they got heads up on wsj wanting to publish article on this

And reacted preemptively

Worst thing is that sometimes guardian does good job

But lots of opinion pieces in there are just rubbish

Ad i dont mean them having opinions i disagree with

I mean them publishing halftruths and oversimplifications like that one.

Lol he is just old silly man trying to do what he think is good

Ye he is

But they are not very proud of him there
