Censorship: Zeynep Tufekci argues that censorship might be necessary in era of social media

Tufekci disseminated significant disinformation throughout the Covid pandemic and was given a prominent platform to do so by the NY Times. Tufekci suggested that misinformation on social media should be censored. If she followed her own rules, the rules she seems to wish imposed on others by the technocratic elite like herself, she should deplatform herself immediately.

Why people no longer trust the police

Why people no longer trust the police

A legally deaf elderly woman missed a changed gate flight announcement, and after asking several gate agents for assistance, one calls the police. The police then arrest and handcuff her and take her to jail (in a wheelchair). In the jail, she is beaten by a jailer, her arm broken, and she is denied access to healthcare. 3 days later, she is released and undergoes surgery. The DA dropped all charges. Hopefully she sues the bastards back to the stone age. This, though, is why so many today are terrified of the police.

My Facebook account was hacked

My Facebook account was hacked

My FB account was hacked, and then deleted by Facebook. I have lost all access to my friends and groups and there appears to be no way to recover the account.

It’s back: The annual bogus “happiest countries in the world list” 2023!

It’s time again for the annual “World’s Happiest Country” bull shit survey results. Using a survey that doesn’t measure happiness, the survey proclaims – every year – the same Nordic countries as the world’s happiest. That’s because the metrics they use define happiness as living in a Nordic country! But again, don’t measure anyone’s happiness. And every year, the media twits fall for this survey.
