If you want to know who really has the power in this world just see how no one in public is allowed to speak on certain things, whether they are MPs in parliament, guests on TV, or otherwise. If I questioned Hamas “slaughtering 1400 Israeli civilians” in public or with coworkers, or worse yet, said you get what you deserve, I would 100% lose my job, and probably ruin my highly specialised career.

So presumably everyone else has to do a lot of sef-censorship as well?

    Both, I’d gotten stopped by local PD out for a walk like a week beforehand. Genuinely one of the most horrifying moments of my life; got me to TOTALLY switch up my opsec practices.

      Can I ask what kind of things you were posting that led to being noticed by cops? Like were you posting about communism on a public account or something?

        I won’t be exact to avoid self-doxxing, but to put it delicate, talking too reckless on too public an app with no kind of real obfuscation tactics.
