At least for all the surveillance the Chinese do - the standard of life is improving overall. We don't even get that shit here in the US. Our life just gets worse by practically every measure as the years go on and we're taken advantage of on top of it.

What benchmark are you using for standard of life?

Number of citizens reeducated, I presume.

>> The data show that Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Nice to see Zuckerberg taking free speech as seriously as he claims.

I m not sure he ever claimed that

I recall he made changes at the beginning of the year specifically because "it's time to get back to our roots around free expression."

They were asking about it happening to citizens. From your article: > Mr Garcia, a Salvadoran

It happens to be the case that he's not a citizen or claiming to be a citizen, but he wasn't given due process, and there's absolutely nothing stopping them from picking anybody up off the street, claiming they're here illegally, and shipping them off to an El Salvadoran prison. All people in the us, legal or illegal, citizen or not, have fourth amendment protections, and if you strip those rights from anyone, you re…

Do they? We generally don’t give noncitizens the right to own a gun in the us, so clearly we are selective about applying the 2nd amendment protection. The 4th may need adjudication.

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…

Russia doesn’t just put people in jail for speaking against the government. They weaponise the generational fear of being disappeared by the government. This is not close to what happens in America where you can post anything anywhere and if Facebook deletes it you can always make your own website about it. If you did this in Russia you go to jail. Even if you say things like “it is sad Ukrainian children die in children’s day in Russia” you go to jail. I don’t think you can compare modern USA with modern Russia in this way. USA does plenty of other things that are bad like jailing so many people for petty crimes without pushing much on speech. USA has its own problems and all these comparisons only hide them.

> Judges have now ruled that suspected "expected beliefs" that are "otherwise lawful" is grounds for deportation, if those suspected thoughts are "antisemitic" Do you have a link to what you are referring to?

Quote from Marco Rubio (confirmed 99-0 in the Senate) "Rubio said that while Khalil's “past, current or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful," the provision allows the secretary of state alone to “personally determine” whether he should remain in the country." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mahmoud-khalil-deported... The article is a day old, the judges just affirmed that Rubi…

Thanks for the information. FWIW, I think this is total bullshit and fascism, but your comments aren't telling the whole story.

The most important thing to point out is that "the judges" in this case was actually a single immigration judge. Immigration judges belong to the executive branch, not the judiciary. I agree this law that says that the Secretary of State can essentially just deport anyone they want can't be squared with the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and due process. But that wasn't really this immigration judge's determination to make, i.e. questioning the constitutionality of the law that Rubio is using to deport Khalil. There is a separate case going on in federal court that should address that topic.

In a different deportation case they just defied a supreme court ruling - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/11/trump-deport...

Didn't realize that the judge in the linked one was an immigration judge and not a judiciary judge thanks for the clarification

Oh look, the "ample evidence" link you provide is ALSO an opinion statement, and it's written by... > Elie Wiesel, Prof Alan Dershowitz, R James Woolsey, Elliott Abrams, Tom Gross, Prof Judea Pearl, Douglas Murray Hmmmm, none of those people are famously biased towards Israel.... Also, you are misusing Credentials Fallacy to dismiss the difference between factual reporting and opinion. If I dismissed a peer-reviewed…

No. I'm saying what you call "factual reporting" is inaccurate and dishonest propaganda. And the "opinion pieces" I'm sharing are all based on facts and realities. If any source is deserving of a comparison to InfoWars here it's HRW itself. You can't unilaterally smear every right-of-center source as completely untrustworthy and expect to stay on the side of reality for long.

Ah yes, the very dishonest and propagandistic Associated Press:

> Israeli strikes on Gaza kill 32, mostly women and children (Apr 6)

[1] https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-new...

> An Israeli strike hit near a charity kitchen in Gaza as Palestinians gathered for food (Apr 7)

[2] https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-new...

> Palestinian teenager who died in Israeli prison showed signs of starvation, medical report says (Apr 6)

> Starvation was likely the leading cause of death for a Palestinian teenager who died in an Israeli prison, according to an Israeli doctor who observed the autopsy.

Or how about Business Insider?

> Israel's 'Where's Daddy?' AI system helps target suspected Hamas militants when they're at home with their families, report says

The Georgetown Security Studies Review?

> The Dehumanization of ISR: Israel’s Use of Artificial Intelligence In Warfare

> “At 5 a.m., [the air force] would come and bomb all the houses that we had marked,” B. said, an anonymous IDF soldier. “We took out thousands of people. We didn’t go through them one by one—we put everything into automated systems, and as soon as one of [the marked individuals] was at home, he immediately became a target. We bombed him and his house.”

Is there any news source apart from Netanyahu himself that you would accept as true for showing that the IDF was not taking measures not to kill women and children in Gaza?
