  3. A quotation from Abraham Fortas

    Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.

    Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
    Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]

  8. The Internet Gave Everyone a Voice, Unfortunately

    I’ve got to tell you, the internet is something else, isn’t it? I mean, think about it, we have this incredible tool, this global network that connects us all, that allows us to share information and communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time. It’s like the ultimate democracy of ideas, right? Everyone gets a voice! Oh, what a beautiful dream!

    Oh, but wait! It turns out, maybe not everyone should have a voice? Maybe, just maybe, some opinions are better kept to yourself? I know, I know, it’s a controversial take. But hear me out!

    Before the internet, if you had a terrible opinion, you had to keep it within your family. Maybe ruin Christmas dinner. Now you can ruin somebody’s morning in another country before breakfast! And don’t get me started on the comments sections. Have you seen the comments sections? It’s like the wild west out there. No rules, no consequences, just an endless stream of unfiltered nonsense.

    And what’s with all these people who start every post with ‘Nobody asked, but…’ or ‘I wasn’t going to speak about this, but…’? Buddy, if nobody asked and you weren’t going to speak about it, then DON’T! Nobody’s twisting your arm here. But no, they’ve got to share their unsolicited hot take on whatever topic is trending that day. And God forbid you disagree with them, they’ll be at your doorstep, ready for a duel at dawn.

    What about online trolls? “Hey, you know what really grinds my gears? When people don’t like my opinion on the internet. No, seriously, that’s like the number one crime in the online world. Say something controversial, and suddenly you’re Public Enemy Number One. It’s like, relax, bro. It’s just the internet. Nobody cares.

    And don’t even get me started on the experts. Oh, they’re everywhere. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a smartphone and an opinion now thinks they’re an expert on everything from politics to climate change to quantum physics. Newsflash: just because you watched a few YouTube videos doesn’t make you a expert. Trust me, I know from experience. I once tried to explain string theory to my cat using nothing but a laser pointer and some catnip. Did not go well.

    But the real kicker is when these so called experts start giving unsolicited advice online. Oh, you’re a doctor? Well, here’s what I think you should do: shut up and treat your patients. Same goes for pilots, chefs, teachers, you name it. Every profession now has millions of unpaid online supervisors ready to tell them how to do their jobs better. It’s like having a bunch of drunk monkeys in the cockpit, all screaming different directions.

    And don’t forget about the influencers… they’re the worst. Oh, they’ve got it all figured out. They’re going to ‘speak their truth’ and ‘inspire’ us all with their ‘authentic’ content. But let’s be real, they’re just a bunch of attention seeking narcissists with a camera and a dream. And don’t even get me started on their ‘spontaneous’ videos, the ones where they’re crying in their car about something that happened to them that we’re all supposed to care about. Please. If you’re filming it, it’s not spontaneous. It’s not real. It’s just another piece of content to feed the algorithm.

    But you know what really gets me? It’s the ones who overshare. The ones who post every single detail of their lives online, their arguments, their moods, their meals, their entire lives on display for the world to see. It’s like they’re begging for validation, for someone, anyone, to pay attention to them. But here’s the thing, they’re not sharing. They’re performing. And nobody asked for their performance.

    The internet promised us a revolution, a democratization of knowledge and ideas. But instead, we got an endless stream of opinions from people who shouldn’t have them. We got a platform for every idiot with a smartphone and a dream of being heard. We got the voice of the people, but not necessarily the best voice, the loudest one.

    So here’s my advice, next time you’re about to post something online, next time you’re about to share your unsolicited opinion with the world, ask yourself: does anyone actually care? Do you even know what you’re talking about? Is this going to make the world a better place? Because if not, then maybe just…don’t. Maybe just keep it to yourself.

    Because at the end of the day, the internet gave everyone a voice. But it forgot to install a filter.  And that’s the real tragedy of our time.

  9. It wouldn't just extinguish competition. It would extinguish freedom of speech.

    Let's not forget that Warner Bros. owns CNN. The owner of Paramount Skydance is a zionist&trumpist piece of 💩 that has openly declared his distain for CNN.

    It will be similar to what Musk has done to Twitter, censoring what's good and allowing what's evil.

    I genuinely hope they win and block this unholy union.

  15. I saw a post from an American that made me realise, how most have accepted the reality of #surveillance as a non-negotiable. The stench of #propaganda eminating from the phrase #freedomofspeech, especially from US Americans, folks within territory declared as the USA, or the usual #bootlickers, is nauseating. But there was a time where the phrase had a double life. It existed as a #political #marketing #slogan, as well as a #politicalphilosphy summary. Today, though, it's #speech or #survival.

  16. Das Motto des Internationalen Tages der Pressefreiheit am 3. Mai lautet heuer: „Eine Zukunft in Frieden gestalten: Pressefreiheit für Menschenrechte, Entwicklung und Sicherheit fördern.“

    Während bei der World Press Freedom Day Global Conference am 04. und 05. Mai in Lusaka, Sambia, über diese Themen gesprochen wird, spinne, stricke und häkle ich im Atelier Mitzi für die Pressefreiheit: Mit meiner Handspindel stelle ich aus alten Zeitungen Papiergarn her. Daraus entstehen gehäkelte Körbe und gestrickte Stücke.

    Ein herzliches Danke meiner wundervollen Tochter @hasi für die tollen Fotos!

  20. @erik Drollig: Hier wird ganz nebenbei erklärt, warum für #Musk #Trump #Thiel und Konsorten in die #NSS reinschreiben, dass die #EU die #Demokratie in #Europa gefährdet. Und warum wir sie für #Demokratiefeinde halten.

    Sie sagen #FreedomOfSpeech und meinen genau diese #Haftungsprivilegierung, die wir zunehmend als Fehler erkennen.

  21. The #AP says that if #journalists are invited to cover an event on a pool basis — such as last week when #Trump had meetings in the Oval Office with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince & New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — it cannot #discriminate on the basis of a news organization’s #FreedomOfSpeech.

    “The First Amendment does not stop at the Oval Office door,” said Charles Tobin, the attorney representing the AP.

  22. "And nobody ever needed freedom of speech to say something nice." The debate about #FreedomOfSpeech, about what you can(not) say, divides society. If you want to interact with people in an earnest, meaningful way, you will have no desire to insult them. #democracy #DemocracyUnderThreat #democracyindanger

    #AlJazeera

    #MoChara (aka #LiamOHanna) , member of #Kneecap 🇵🇸 🇮🇪 charged under stupid UK #TerrorismAct for displaying a Hezbollah flag at a #London concert in November 2024.

    The band rejects the charges, saying the #UK government is suppressing #freedomofspeech and criticism of #ApartheidIsrael's genocidal invasion in #Gaza.

    #JusticeforMoChara #FreePalestineNOW 🇵🇸 #music #musicians

    UPDATE: I just saw the flag Mo held up at a November concert as I just posted another video about these stupid 'terrorism charges'. To my undertstanding, that's not what a Hezbollah flag even looks like, is it?

  26. The #BBC's unjustified suspension of Gary Lineker has thrown it into crisis. To restore the BBC's independence it must now get rid of its chair, Richard Sharp, who helped arrange an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson.

  27. It's curious to me that people find it easier to believe a child who remembers being a "regular person" in a past life. But when a child remembers a past life where they were someone "famous" people have a harder time believing it to be true.

    Is this due to those peoples own issues of self worth?

    Even more curious since our worth comes from beyond our selves - our worth comes from our connection to our souls and all that is.
