#powersthatbe — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #powersthatbe, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Could the #CBSNews thing be the event that launches #Peertube to the public eye? Especially if #PowersThatBe can pull that #60minutes from #archive_org, #Fediverse has no such vulnerability, plus no one even knows Fediverse exists. 😅

  2. Trend towards total #censorship takes another step on the slippery slope.

    The #PowersThatBe *do not* want any means of communication that can go on without their control. They call it "moderation" and worry about criminals. But in the future, the criminal will be *you*.

  3. A quotation from #Pratchett, Terry:

    «««««
    The suggestion that the world could be completely other than it is always annoys those who are content with the way things are. #Stories of #imagination tend to upset those without one. #Rulers are suspicious of new worlds where their writ does not run. #Jailers don’t like #escapism.
