The EU understands this and is quickly silencing the megaphones.
It's not a matter of opinion. That's why the US system works the way it does
EU citizens have no reliable method of fighting back, US citizens do
I am so naive
I'm 47 years old so I very well remember life before ubiquitous internet
I cut my teeth on Fidonet
US citizens will soon loose this. It is inevitable. Please note that I am just saying what will happen, not that I agree with it.
I remember watching Tianenmen Square happen in near real time from reports at the source.
I was a child pre broadband
@TraderPropShop then the US citizenry has allowed it to happen
I honestly thought the internet would bring us all together since we'd all have access to the same information and could all talk it out in one big forum.
The internet is too powerful of a tool for the common people, governments will have to curb it or anarchy will come - there justification of course.
Again, not saying I agree.
Just what will happen.
I don't buy that dichotomy tbh
But instead of people taking all this information and forming similar conclusions. People instead took thier conclusions and formed similar information.
It is just my prediction, it is already happening.
I'm still feeling gobsmacked at how it happened this way
People were consolidating power pre-internet my dude
If you allow people to accumulate power, they will attempt to. If you allow them to step over you to do so, they will
Congress will never allow free "megaphone" speech. They will say it is crying fire in a theater.
In 1946 veterans liberated a ballot box in TN with weapons that had just been used, en masse, in the recent world war. Today you cannot own a modern automatic as a civilian
Fire in a crowded theatre isn't a legal precedent
It was struck down forty years ago, approx.
And it's another example of govt consolidation of power
Every new bit of tech we get "ruins everything" in some other sector until we get used to it
You can wish all you want, this control of "megaphone" speech will happen. Sorry to say....
>if I just repeat my alarmism it makes it true
I think what keeps that happening is the fact the US is so evenly split down the middle that no one can agree on what speech to discourage
No alarmism, people will freely accept it, EU is ... so will the US. You will be a racist if you don't.
I think we're seeing in the US just how successful that would be
Not very
Sure a few like Tim Pool are calling it out ... he soon will be banned. You will be posting your comments into the "shadow banned" ether.
The president of the United States is essentially wearing the badge racist as an honor...and therefore essentially denying such a thing exists anymore
Whether you agree it does or not is another matter, but that he is killing the term is pretty evident
Now we wait, while they clean the social media imprint before name is released.
Market pop on this news ...
Who do you think is doing the cleaning?
Cleaning? FBI/CIA informs FB, Twitter, etc ... they have maybe 2 to 8hrs to do this.
They know the drill ...
