Freedom of the press only exists when the press says things some member of the ruling class wants said. Otherwise it evaporates like a morning fog.

Five FOIA requests have been filed.
Three with the State Department. One with Treasury/OFAC. One with the FBI.
We’re looking for the missing bureaucratic handoff: who first put Autistici/Inventati into the U.S. sanctions pipeline, when, and on whose referral?
The investigation is now also a public records docket. As agencies acknowledge, process, deny or release records, we’ll publish the paper trail and update the investigation.

NEW REPORT LIVE
We’ve spent the last week digging, cross-checking, archiving posts and reconstructing the sequence that led to the August 26 designation of Autistici/Inventati
The resulting investigation follows a campaign against “Antifa” as it moved through outside advocates, political influencers, the White House, Congress and U.S. counterterrorism policy before an Italian privacy collective was sanctioned.
This is not a theory-of-everything graphic or a pile of screenshots. It is an attempt to document who said what, when they said it, where those arguments moved next, and what the government ultimately did.

The KMT's efforts to slash the budget of Taiwan's international English-language broadcaster is politically motivated and short-sighted
"If TaiwanPlus is starved of funding and forced to shrink or disappear, Taiwan will lose its principal independent vehicle for telling its own story to the world. Local media focused on domestic partisan battles will leave the international information space largely uncontested."
-
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Public Media Alliance have urged Taiwan's legislature to stop the proposed budget cuts to the Public Television Service (PTS) and TaiwanPlus
The Public Media Alliance said the budget cuts would "weaken an essential cornerstone of Taiwan’s democratic society."

The End of Local News? Why I’m Saying Alarm Bells are Ringing at the New FCC Policy
by Winston Wendell For years, I studied the relationship between information and society. But the latest policy changes in Washington are deeply troubling. This week, the Federal Communications Commission, in a 2-1 vote, overturned a key media ownership rule protecting the diversity of viewpoints in our news and entertainment. This decision, which has been made by a Republican majority, allows bigger corporations to acquire a significantly greater share of local news. If this is to be […] -

The Czech government scraps licence fees for public media.
The right-wing populist coalition of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has approved a bill replacing the traditional funding model with direct state budget financing — a shift that journalists, media freedom groups and tens of thousands of citizens say puts editorial independence at risk.

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!

"A new trove of documents obtained by The Grayzone through freedom of information (FOI) requests provide unprecedented insight into Britain’s little-known military and intelligence censorship board. The contents lay bare how the secretive Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee censors the output of British journalists, while categorizing independent media as “extremist” for publishing “embarrassing” stories. The body imposes what are known as D-Notices, gag-orders systematically suppressing information available to the public.
The files provide the clearest view to date of the inner workings of the opaque committee, exposing which news items the British national security state has sought to shape or keep from public view. These include the bizarre 2010 death of a GCHQ codebreaker, MI6 and British special forces activity in the Middle East and Africa, the sexual abuse of children by government officials, and the death of Princess Diana.
The files show the shadowy Committee maintains an iron grip over the output of legacy British media outlets, transforming British journalists to royal court stenographers. With the Committee having firmly imposed themselves on the editorial process, a wide range of reporters have submitted “apologies” to the board for their media offenses, flaunting their subservience in order to maintain their standing within British mainstream media.
In addition, the documents also show the Committee’s intentions to extend the D-Notice system to social media, stating its desire to engage with “tech giants” in a push to suppress revealing disclosures on platforms like Meta and Twitter/X."

I have a personal connection to #Wikileaks, as they were quite aware of me on the bird site, and one of my Tweets was the first one they "liked". I read and posted many of their documents, which exposed #corruption and human rights abuses.
#JulianAssange is Free
By #Wikileaks, #CensoredNews, June 25, 2024
"Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
"This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations.
"This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
"After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
"WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of #GovernmentCorruption and #HumanRights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions.
"As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know. As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom. Julian's freedom is our freedom.
#Censored News original series: Wikileaks exposed espionage of #IndigenousPeoples
"Censored News spent six months reading the Wikileaks files, which revealed the U.S. spying on Presidents Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez; promoting deadly mining in Peru; and a mandate for U.S Ambassadors to collect DNA and iris scans.
"The U.S. worked behind the scenes to thwart passage of the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.
"The most spied on by the U.S. State Department were #Mohawks and #Mapuches."

After NHRC Loses Its UN Links, India Might Lose Vote at Human Rights Body
India has been repeatedly told of concerns about the lack of diversity in the NHRC, and asked to have a “pluralistic balance in its composition and staff” by ensuring the representation of a diverse Indian society including, but not limited to religious or ethnic minorities. Aakar Patel writes.

@kierkegaank @hapbt And this is an example of why I don't care if a cop is POC. If they're part of #BrokenSystem (filled w/power hungry, undereducated ppl who don't know law well - yet are called law enforcement officers & abusing badge powers) - they're just as awful as their shitty white cop colleagues. Being POC doesn't give anyone a pass on being a paid agent of systemic abuses on citizens AND abusing #PressFreedom too.
