#dissidents — Public Fediverse posts

" #MerrylGoldberg was a member of the #KlezmerConservatoryBand ( #KCB) in 1985 when she had the opportunity to go on a mission to the #USSR to meet with #humanrights #activist #musicians. #Goldberg, along with KCB leader #HankusNetsky, vocalist #RosalieGerut and mandolinist #JeffWarschauer, were to meet with the #PhantomOrchestra, a group of #Jewish and non-Jewish #activists. Their mission was to bring them everything from medicine to blue jeans and bubble gum and smuggle out information about the #refusnik movement.

In the context of the #ColdWar, to smuggle out information from the #SovietUnion was a perilous undertaking for the #klezmer band visitors and for the #Soviet #dissidents. What the #musicians needed was a secret #cipher system to collect the information they would gather during their trip. Their solution: to embed the information into written #music.

IMO Amnesty International is perpetrating discrimination of the users of Twibright Links lightweight web browser not equipped with JavaScript and IMO Amnesty International are hypocrites: they pose as if fighting for human rights, but they themselves IMO perpetrate discrimination and censorship and Amnesty International IMO violates the basic human right to receive information.

I recommend:
1) Don't send Amnesty International any donations.
2) Tell other people about the behaviour of Amnesty International.
3) Boycott Amnesty International.

Their website consists of a grid of pictures and text. You don't need JavaScript to display that and even if you did, lack of JavaScript would just mean reduced functionality, not blocking of whole website.

This may IMO impact marginalized individuals (people living in poverty, people in developing countries, refugees, dissidents) who cannot afford to buy a powerful device with enough RAM (cf. recent RAM price crisis) to run a resource hungry web browser with JavaScript and exacerbate the digital divide.

IMO Amnesty International is joining the camp of perpetrators of digitalitarian digitatorship, where citizens are required to submit to an ever increasing amount of surveillance and tracking and required to submit to an extortion to purchase ever more expensive electronic devices.
