I really fear what #Internet is becoming. #Cookies, accept, decline some nonsense shit that many do not understand; #laws, #restrictions, #vpns, #bans, policies, and other stupid rules that defending the world does not exist, etc. What has happened? How did we let it be? It is not the place where I wanna be. I come here to see what I wanna see, to talk to anyone I wanna talk, to post what I wanna post, to find knowledge and skills I was deprived. And what we have now? What do we do then?

:quotesL: Texas's law openly states that major social media firms may not refuse to post a vast range of material based on objections to its content. If they don't comply, the state will force them to do so. If that isn't government coercion of speech, I don't know what is! :quotesR:

The #US state of #Georgia is the best current example of the death of even the idea of #democracy in this country as it prosecutes people in clear and open violation of the most basic of our supposed #CivilRights, #FreedomOfSpeech and association, as the #federal #government does literally nothing to stop the #state, tacitly granting its full approval.

36) Another day another threat of legal action directed by #ElonMusk. His target, the ADL?
Apparently #ADL analysis reveals #HateSpeech is on the rise at #Twitter / #X since the #Musk acquisition
Coming from a supposed #FreedomOfSpeech advocate, this critique of a data driven fact based study, is more than dissonant. I guess the only speech that is acceptable in Musk land is that which aligns with his bigoted world view

"The traditional image of a #library as a building in which silence should reign belies its true role as an access point for free speech and fresh concepts that can be both eye-opening and controversial."

On dirait bien que ça ne fait réagir personne du côté de la «défense de la liberté académique»
📰 University of Waterloo removes course details from its website in wake of triple stabbing
"The University of Waterloo (UW) in southern Ontario says it is removing some details of its courses from the public domain after a triple stabbing on campus in late June that police have said targeted the LGBTQ community.
The university says on its website that after an assessment of its response to the June 28 attack inside a gender studies class that left an instructor and two students injured, it has decided to remove class locations and instructor names from public websites."

#Greeche literally jailing the people and threatening them for exercising their #HumanRights - espechally #FreedomOfSpeech IS such an admission of guilt that it should be prosecuted like the #MassMurder it is!

Far right conservatives are so spiteful, evil and have forgotten what it means to be human.
Laura Ann Carleton was murdered all because she had a pride flag in her own store. These conservatives need to cut the bs and stop pretending to care about #FreedomOfSpeech. They don’t care about free speech, all they have is irrational and senseless hate

Can even a federal judge keep Trump from doing what he does: saying whatever he wants?
In the federal case against him in DC, Judge Tanya Chutkan told Trump’s lawyers last week that she would impose limits on what he could say about the trial.

"In one of the most secular countries in the world, with a more than 250-year-old tradition of giving freedom of expression priority before all other interests, the presumption is that every expression is allowed. Even expressions that offend people. The current situation is not a bug of the Swedish legal system. It’s a feature."
