they love controlling the narrative as much as politicians do imo

when citizens have to be constantly vigilant and fucking exhausted just to retain a semblance of democratic rights it’s not a democracy.

Articles like this prove the failure of political journalism, not the failure of the citizenry

“views” were always fucking meaningless that’s why musk made them visible.

right??? by someone who is social media illiterate or has utter disregard for facts or both.

its the attributing 100% of OP views to a single RT for me.

I've seen some egregious misrepresentation in my time, but how many mules would have to kick you in the head to draw the imputation cited from Saleh's post?

lying

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".

remember folks, "the salvos" are a far right religious bigotry cult.

"Which again, brings us back to the question: If $400 was all the money you could count on every week and it didn’t get paid, how do you think that would impact your life? How well do you think you could cope?"

not commenting on your replies, but as a BEc student in the late 1980s I diligently read The Economist, to which my father subscribed and then posted every week to my residential college. Me and dad still see eye to eye about the state of the world, but he no longer subscribes to your “paper”.

lmao hi I am a billionaire who built a tech tool designed to stop you from thinking for yourself and no no of course not nothing to do with control. We are incinerating trillions of dollars and trashing the planet to hahaha omg

🚨content warning🚨from July 2024: Israelis storm military facilities protesting against accountability for Israelis who rape incarcerated Palestinians.

www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-...

over nine thousand Palestinian people - around 9,570 people, on these figures - are incarcerated while presumptively innocent and subjected to extraordinary acts of violence by Israelis who literally rioted when there was a suggestion that prison rapists may be held accountable.

lmao unpraxis I see unpraxis everywhere

these reporters and their sources insist on assuming - contrary to all evidence - 30 years into digital domination - that governments or regulations or police or commissioners or someone of the current patriarchal order can and will stop people using the internet for abuses as old as patriarchy.

also, ideal victim factors are driving this story. Compare the coverage to thousands of girls harmed by these exact same abusive outputs and structures. They are using this little boy for a tired and old “tough outback-missing white child-police hero” narrative - now with extra slop. Vile.

*the political reality.

Imperial white patriarchy barfs up Biden or Trump or Harris. Starmer or Suni or Thatcher. Albanese or Dutton or Lee. They all hate democratic rights and constantly strive to extend control and concentrate wealth.

that’s the point. Turn all knowledge into data points and control it.

They just can't help themselves can they ....

lmao “crack down” sure let’s send in the plods they can fix the internet 😂
