The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) has joined the American Civil Liberties Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and Fight for the Future calling on the House Energy and Commerce Committee to oppose
H.R. 7521, the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act”.This bill would functionally ban the distribution of TikTok in the United States, and would grant the President broad new powers to ban other social media platforms based on their country of origin.

CW: Israel Pols
#Bligh noted that several fundamental #civilrights, such as the right to #equality, #FreedomOfExpession & others, are not delineated in any of #Israel’s quasi-constitutional Basic Laws, but have become inherent facts of #Israeli legal landscape owing to rulings by the High Court. The court derives such rights interpretively from those Basic Laws, he noted, and primarily Basic Law: #HumanDignity & #Liberty." #palastine #apartheidisrael #onelawforall #israel

Censored on Facebook for "sexual content" - this video was censored and, in any case, is not sexual. Facebook/Meta block non-sexual freedom of expression and they don't enforce their own rules in a consistent way.

CW: Body hair
Body hair. There has clearly been a huge shift in behaviour over the last few decades and it seems to be very common for people to shave all of their pubic hair.
It's absolutely fine, of course, for people to shave or not, but what I think is unhealthy is when there is social pressure to do so. That clearly is what is expected, and that impacts on choice when the choice not to shave is shamed.
I'm pleased to hear from you younger friends that many are rejecting the practice.

Journalists across the globe are already under threat every day - many of them literally risk their lives to provide the rest of us with factual information that is crucial to understand what is happening in the world and to hold authority to account.
Independent media and journalists are a pillar of democracy and also key to fight #disinformation and #fimi.
I'm glad to see that the community here is speaking our against attempts to restrict #mediafreedom and #FreedomOfExpession!
Also, as reuters reports, high level politicians are condemning #twitter and #elonmusk for his recent actions.
《Officials from France, Germany, the U.K. and the European Union condemned the suspensions, with some saying the platform was jeopardizing press freedom.》
《Melissa Fleming, head of communications for the United Nations, tweeted she was "deeply disturbed" by the suspensions and "media freedom is not a toy."》

it is not ready for primetime yet, but taking control away from the billionaire class seems like an idea
democratization of connected speech is worth exploring in an impossible world that we live in
it will get more fragmented and evil will find ways to neuter it every step of the way, and so people will have to keep working together
