This is basically just the EU calling for the next-generation of VPNs that aren't server based, everything will be hidden in video instead of straight encrypted for example, and shared on a torrent type system.

Partly true

It is aimed mainly on service providers

Can’t they just block the VPNs?

are they actually trying to do something here? or is trump just holding an opinion? https://twitter.com/brosandprose/status/1002269050351833088?s=20

(by they I mean the gov)

It’s probably an opinion.

Of course the media would try pushing it as a demand.

I don’t think it’s the first time it’s happened either.

Clearly not as bad as the media says it is.

I'm guessing that Ella Dawson hasn't mentioned the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive

EU good, DRUMPF Bad.

“The language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious. The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling,” Sanders said in a statement. “Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network.” Also probably an opinion not an actual demand.

it was a demand, but not an official order. The difference is if force gets involved. but given that according to the left, words = force, then i guess this is government censorship

its about the same demand children make

you can chose to ignore it, and if they throw a tantrum, then you punish them for it. In this case, the punishment for the white house trying to actual enforce this "demand" would probably be harsh. I don't think anyone would support the move. For the left it would be government censorship of people they like. for the right it would be trampling on the rights of businesses

people should be allowed to be mean

forcing them not to doesnt make anyone want to

be ncie

in a way.. stopping others from speaking is mean

The trouble is, is that in today's media environment it's usually not a two way street. The reason Samantha Bee is news is because there was pushback for once. Man bites dog.

what did she say anyway... also who is she 😛

idk what she said

but shes some shitty tv show host

Mean comments have been flowing towards figures on the right for years and it's so normal and expected that it's ignored.

mean comments towards the right are fine

mean comments towards the left are violent and hateful

ty double standards

hmm I dont recognise her

nor should you

she's more or less a nobody

I don't really give a fuck about mean comments. If people want to publicly demonstrate that they're classless slime go right ahead. And TV is dead to me anyway so I don't give a damn about shitty left wing comedians or shitty right wing comedians. Cancel the lot as far as I care.

The double standard is demonstrative of a power imbalance though, and that's the troublesome part.

I don't want one viewpoint to have institutional power over another because that's dangerous to society. We need each other. Right now the left has near complete dominance over all media.

For fuck's sake Anita Sarkessian is a guest of honor at Gencon They're coming after my warhams.

We can talk about the culture war as much as we want but it's more of a culture insurgency.

It's asymmetrical warfare.

good of cnn to call it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kixh3SUdr0

although interesting that she went through all those words he used to describe trump... and missed out one of them from the very clip they showed... "baboon"

What has Trump said that is racist?
