You’re not arrested for posting this, so that is a pretty big difference to Russia (and other authoritarian nations like China and Turkey), no? https://rsf.org/en/country/russia

Actually now US citizens are impacted too. Michigan-based attorney Amir Makled [a US citizen] was detained by federal immigration agents while returning home from a family vacation https://www.npr.org/2025/04/09/nx-s1-5357455/attorney-detain...

He's married to a citizen which gives him an avenue towards legal residency and full citizenship. It doesn't matter anyways because the government admitted he was deported due to a administrative error and because they actively undermined and sidestepped the courts authority on several occasions, there is effectively nothing stopping them from doing it to full blown citizens. Honestly, it sounds like it's just a matt…

I agree it's bad, and yes, the government admitted they shouldn't have done it. But regardless, the question was about if it has happened to a citizen, not a person who maybe could be a citizen one day but is not, and you responded with them "doing just that" when they did not, in fact, "do just that". I'm not sure why there's a need to mislead when what's actually happening is bad enough.

You would agree that this whole discussion would be considered insanity in America like 4 months ago, right?

It’s good to suspect that but the article distinguished

Although did not quantify

I think it isn’t helpful when Israel designates all teenager and older males in Gaza as Hamas militants, even their own hostages because of the shares phenotypes, heritage, genetics

Makes consensus impossible

"The civilians should be evacuated." They don't want to leave and Israel uses these "evacuations" to make sure Palestinians never return, as they did in 1948, 1967, etc[1][2]. This is whitewashing genocide and is an extremely violent view, packaged in reasonable sounding words. Israel has a long documented history of using terrorism to build its state. If you truly oppose terrorism I recommend starting with the books…

It should be the UN, and with the express intent outlined in my post above. To return them back to their country once the criminals have been removed.

The criminals would all line up with the civilians if it came to that, and they'd also still raise all their children to become the next generation of terrorists.

As someone who came from a pretty authoritarian country- let me assure you that people there do routinely criticize their government, mock them all the time. Governments often do not have the bandwidth to deal with the volume of criticism, and even when they do- they wisely realize that letting people vent a little online is better than complete crackdown. I myself routinely did this in Facebook, where many in my fri…

Do you mean pro-Palestinian sentiments scare you or are you afraid of expressing pro-Palestinian sentiment?

What exactly did you mean by "globalists"? who do you refer to by "they"? Sorry if I got your sentence wrong, but terms like these are routinely used by some truly awful anti-semites, and I sincerely hope Pro-palestinian folks stay clear of those people and their vocabularies.

Edit: I'm deleting most of my post, to avoid politics part and only preserving my "point" Basically I'm saying: Nobody has a right to free wide distribution of their thoughts on social media anyway, and also, those who provide these free ad-supported platforms have many reasonable motivations to remove content -- including the belief that the speaker is wrong/spreading lies and propaganda. That doesn't 'silence' them…

It would be interesting to see a random sample of these posts. I know any sample they released would be groomed to make them look good, but it would be interesting if it were possible.

He was detained at immigration. This happens all the time, and has been happening routinely since 2001.

(Not saying it's good or anything - just not new).

I like to think we are in a better place than russia for instance with all its propaganda and jailed journalists, but then i see these kind of article come over and over.... Most of the people in the 'free world' goes on mainstream media, like facebook to get their news. These companies are enticed to 'suck up' to the government because at the end they are business, they need to be in good term with ruling class. you…

They don't need to arrest him because the narrative is already controlled, as shown by the article, and by going to any traditional news site.
