  3. VRIJHEID VAN MENINGSUITING

    AUB DELEN IPV LIKEN‼️

    Voor jou én iedereen hier op Mastodon, en op Pixelfed Peertube en de vele andere echt sociale netwerken
    En op de écht vrije democratische vrijheid van meningsuiting ‼️‼️‼️

    USA heeft een Europees internet hostingnetwerk offline gehaald en als terroristen betiteld ‼️
    Ongeacht of je vindt dat ook antifa een platform mag hebben

    Denk je in :
    Wij hier halen ON (=fascistische omroep) uit het publieke bestel⁉️

    >≥> usa haalt een platform offline waar ook Antifa, protesteerders tegen fascisme, hun mening kunnen uiten⁉️

    Luister vooral even een kwartiertje naar de podcast van NRC
    Daarin wordt heel erg helder e.e.a uitgelegd

    Het is nu tijd om van democratie een werkwoord te maken

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. The British Medical Association voted to drop the IHRA definition of antisemitism due to concerns that it suppresses free speech regarding the Gaza genocide. Doctors feared the definition led to professional discipline for expressing support for Palestine, prompting the union to mandate new guidance for members facing such repercussions.

  12. 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!

  13. Constellations: new, decentralised writers' festivals are emerging

    "I feel like lots of the local writing community haven't necessarily had a place in (Adelaide) Writers' Week for a while."

    "Organisers reckon there are lessons to be learned in the opportunities of "bottom-up", inclusive programming and extending festivals beyond city hubs, including attracting a more diverse audience." >>

  16. Reactionary speech police in U.S. Academia: What else is new?

    "That morning, I got onto what I thought was a casual call with a senior colleague, someone who spoke with me regularly in order to keep the university updated on Mill Institute activities. Once we were past the opening pleasantries, it immediately became clear that something was wrong.

    My colleague told me that we needed to talk about a social-media post of mine that “had become a big problem.” I rarely post anything online, so I was confused about what he meant. Apparently, it had something to do with DEI, and had angered a major funder. “We’re trying to slow things down,” my colleague told me. I got the impression that he was upset about the message he was delivering.

    I dimly recalled that I’d written something about DEI on LinkedIn. But I was still confused, because it had seemed like such an innocuous post (to me, anyway); and I couldn’t imagine how it would upset anyone in the UATX community, let alone lead to this ominous phone call.

    In that post (reproduced below), I’d thanked writer and Yale professor Michael J. Strambler for mentioning the Mill Institute in a magazine article titled The False Binary of the DEI Debate. The piece, which struck a liberal tone, walked readers through the pros and cons of DEI programs, concluding that regardless of one’s position on DEI, none of us should lose respect for those who hold different opinions."

  19. For some reason Facebook is still acting in favor of the fallen dictator of Bangladesh and her party!

    Pretty weird. Most probably thanks to Indian influence.
