Stars and Stripes shows how government-funded journalism can work – if it’s free to report the truth https://theconversation.com/stars-and-stripes-shows-how-government-funded-journalism-can-work-if-its-free-to-report-the-truth-290477 @TheConversationUS
Stripes was able to provide the only eyewitness account of the negotiations that led to Germany’s surrender in 1945 because its reporter was in the schoolhouse in Reims, France, where Allied and German officials hashed out the terms.

The #rhetorical move is to erase the difference
- facts become "one opinion"
- expert evidence becomes "one narrative"
- political assertions/fantasies become "another point of view"
Then challenging them can be portrayed, often with bad-will & political strategy intent, as an attack on #freespeech -

The Trump administration warned Britain not to force social platforms to boost traditional media in their algorithms, calling it a censorship risk. Apparently America’s newest export is unsolicited advice about everybody else’s internet. #FreeSpeech

@palestinenews“The Home Office plans to proscribe the rap act known in terrorist circles as ‘Macklemore’. This follows disturbing footage of the keffiyeh-wearing savage rallying a crowd of 80,000 at an Ed Sheeran concert. Now I know what you’re all thinking: how the hell did Ed Sheeran get 80,000 fans?”

Australian education
Keep your head down, work hard and obey the rules. Then you may get to help make a few people very rich and powerful, and who don't give a damn about you.

Australian sovereignty
The dismissal of Whitlam, who strongly defended Australian sovereignty against American influence, was the last time a PM said no to a US President.
The US and Australia have good people, sharing a common problem, when governments terrible decisions.

Arkansas Advocate: Judge denies effort to block Arkansas outlets from publishing details about data center agreement. “A federal judge rejected an effort Wednesday to block two Arkansas news outlets from publishing details about an agreement regarding a West Memphis data center, in a case that alarmed free speech groups who say restricting publication would have undermined the First Amendment.”

Americans!
Summary of RESET Act subcommittee markup last week:
-The House E&C subcommittee replaced the RESET Act with the GUARDIAN Act during a markup
-While the GUARDIAN Act doesn't explicitly ban people under 16 from social media, the bill's provisions would effectively result in an under 16 ban.
-Why? The costs and legal risks associated with implementing a parental consent flow would make it far more trouble than it's worth for most platforms. It would be less costly to just raise the minimum age ceiling to 16.
-While the bill doesn't explicitly mandate age verification (as of now), platforms would no doubt crank up the data harvesting dial in order to enforce their new minimum age ceiling and minimize legal risk.#Privacy #Censorship #DigitalRights #FreeSpeech #ResetAct #GuardianAct #Under16socialmedia #Under16 #US #UnitedStates

They don't silence the speaker. They designate the host a terrorist and let the banks do the killing. #AutisticiInventati — 16k mailboxes, 10k blogs — all gone as of today to shield users from secondary sanctions. No court. No jury. Just an EO. The kill-chain is complete: criminalize the wires, freeze the accounts, call it national security. I know what silence costs. #SusanKlopferTruth
The deep state weaponizes legal doctrine against infrastructure of dissent. Stay human. #FreeSpeech #AI #1A

Australia in a world gone wrong
The Australian government only cares about doing the bidding of the elites. They do not talk with people, listen to people nor act for people. They do deals and make decisions, while excluding all involvement of people. They say one thing and do something very different.
