RT / all Russian news networks got dropped overnight after the invasion from Youtube / TV. In contrast all American and Indian propa- oops i mean news networks still operating.
Facebook / Twitter / reddit outright banning Russian accounts. Promoting the Russians-are-orcs theory. Asset seizure of rich Russians. Being banned for viewing the issue from both sides. If you don't get auto-banned, for some reason questioning media rhetoric is met with swift unanimous downvotes. Hmm who could be reacting to messages quickly! It's almost like they are being encouraged or... paid. Perhaps.
Anyways better not go against the narrative! Just force a smile and say "Nato good. Russia bad. More weapons for Ukraine"
You have totally missed the point of what the poster was saying.I am no expert in psychology or history, though both have interested me since my high school days, so when I say this i am most likely incorrect, but to the untrained eye it appears that your fear of being censored and/or banned has clouded the lessons of history.
The USA have the most liberal and free internet access and use in the world, it is like the wild west without a sheriff. Most other countries have a free internet with minor laws in place to protect people from people like Alex Jones.
I would encourage u to read this article from 2019.They can only fire a nuke if they have a nuke to fire, which they won’t in that system, as I said it’s designed to shoot down nukes, that’s the reason russia is upset.
Mutually assured destruction only works if both sides aren’t wearing bullet proof vest, Russia is upset that NATO is putting on a bullet proof vest, not that it’s pointing guns at them.

To have free internet media etc, you cannot have censorship.
Protecting the people from Alex Jones is just another way of saying protecting people from those you disagree with,
I do not support Alex Jones, but I support his right to say it, just as I support people right to sue him for saying obviously false crap.
As soon as you want to decide what people should hear or see, its censorship.
As for the USA having the most liberal and free internet, that is laughable.
Its just that they allow most of things you approve of.
You are happy not to be allowed to see Russian propaganda, or north Korean propaganda, or anything else that twitter, CNN , Facebook, and youtube censors.
Either everything is allowed, or else its censorship. period.

At no stage did I express support for Jones view, merely his right to express them, no matter how stupid or incorrect.I need to ask this; are you happy for someone to tell the world that you have done some heinous act? To put your name to it.
Or what if your home is broken into and you and family members assaulted, is it ok for the perpetrators representatives to say that it is a lie and to blame you for letting them in?
If you are, why do you use an alias instead of your real name?

So Companies that believe that they can stop things that are damaging.No one has the right to express views that are a lie or cause damage to people and society.
Would you be ok with a prominent media personality telling the world something about you, that causes you and your family pain, something that you know not to be true? The media personality may have some twisted proof.
Defamation laws should not stop at the internet. They have in the US for a long time, but the Jones case has sorted that out.
I do not know where people like you and joeno get your facts from. There is hardly any censorship on the net and social media. You both mention companies, well a business has the right to stop things that they believe is damaging. And users have the right to move on. Where is the censorship?
Thats a pretty poor analogy.Can I come into your home and sleep on your couch whenever I want? Why not, are you censoring me?

If that is not censorship, what the hell is?

And might take "Animal Farm" and "1984 " along for some light reading.russia and china censor also, well its a free country here you can move to russia or china. and live the good life there. Don't put up any moment longer with the bad life here ?
Thats a pretty poor analogy.
Trespass is somewhat a long stretch from defamatory statements.
You are big on emotion, poor on logic.
Mick
So, what does that have to do with censorship?Russian troops are currently trespassing on Ukrainian land and in homes and businesses.
So, what does that have to do with censorship?
Are you saying because its not reported or something that it is censorship?
Mick
You can believe what you want, as you say , its a free country.I gather, from all your recent comments, that you believe that governments need to introduce regulations that govern how companies run their business. Legislation that makes it illegal for management to make decisions, once legal and fair, that affects you and people like you from being able to access information regardless of any damage it may cause.
It's plainly too hard for some consumers to take their business somewhere else, or to write to management to explain their reasoning.
I am very happy that I don't have to run my business with regulations from people like yourself, thank God I live in a free and democratic country.
You can believe what you want, as you say , its a free country.
I never at any stage suggested the government bring in regulations,
