Free speech, I fear, is in retreat.

I think it's today, actually. They just want to censor any voice that would dare criticize Israel's abhorrent action. Pretending anyone who shows sympathy for the suffering of Palestinians supports Hamas is an old strategy.
And to think they thought Trump was to be "the most peaceful president ever" or that he would "restore free speech". What fools.

#53Other issues aside, how does this get around the constitutional right to free speech? There must be some court ruling that lets speech affect the visa process.

#55What about those who support Russian invaders?
Oh, shut up! Ukraine is not "our greatest ally." They never wear suits to meetings, and they never say thank you. Why should we care what happens to them? /s

#57Another example of history repeating itself... 80 years ago, McCarthy and the HUAC were going after alleged communist supporters, now the Trump admin is going after alleged Hamas supporters.
Maybe we should all study more of history, with an open mind, instead of assuming that everything is different now and people have never been in a similar situation before.

You fear? Or, it's all but guaranteed? The current administration has openly advanced Israel's plan to ethnically cleanse 2 million Palestinians from their homes. Trump specifically stated that he's giving Israel everything they need to "finish the job."
I don't believe in giving both parties the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Remember how he suddenly 'gave' Jerusalem to Israel, acknowledging it officially? That was a moment of desperation across whole sunni arab world, making it clear that palestinian cause is dead. Not saying whether I agree with any of this, just remembering few facts.
He was too busy pleasing that murderous p.o.s. MBS and forcing them into 'peace agreement' with Israel at all costs, which as we all know lasted few months. Thats his style, lack of any sort of emotional intelligence to understand actual complexities of politics make people do horrible things to others. All clinical sociopaths struggle with this their entire lives, not that they care.
I strongly believe that events of 7.10. were directly caused by this, thats what happens when you have part of population having no issue with terrorism for their cause being literally cornered and losing all hope - a vicious emotional attack.
He is an elephant in porcelain shop, servant of chaos with some outright evil traits. That guy caused, is causing and will cause biggest loss of civilian life in modern times, putting him well within the category of Mao, Hitler, Stalin and so on. Happy to be proven wrong by history on this since it comes back to literally all of us, but so far thats how facts look like.

#60This is one of the many initiates where the process and details matter. What’s the due process here, can people see the prompt that judges them to be supporters? Is AI just highlighting “supporting” content for human review? Even if you support the idea in principle, the actual practical implementation should be treated with skepticism.
Even if it is intended as a hint to human observers, during a big scandal in my country a few years ago turned out all the gov officials where blindly following the computer advise. Many where falsely accused of fraud by tax authorities, almost all where from ethnic minorities.
