  • But Twitter doesn't and didn't fly under the radar. Every politician and journalist and average Joe knows about it. It's been headline news for days.

    They're taking their sweet time because Musk has power. He has vast amounts of money (richest man in the world, rivaling some countries), he has very close ties with Trump and the American government, and controls other services which the UK has contracts with (e.g. Starlink). Not because that's how Ofcom works. Ofcom can and has responded quickly to laws in the past. What sort of bullshit paedo apoligism is that argument?

    You're making excuses for CSAM distributed by the richest man in the world, why?

    The rule of law is not being applied the same to Twitter as it would any other website. My quote stands.

    Flying under the radar is not the same as being known and ignored. Flying under the radar explicitly means it's unknown. If the state were made aware of these sites they would act.

  • Oooh, big scary threats! What have they done though?

    Do you think piefed.social or Feddit.UK would be up long if they were doing the same thing? They would be immediately blocked and the admins arrested. No such thing has happened to Twitter.

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    We are ruled by Red Conservatives.

  • Such online safety that when a website almost every politician and journalist is on has publicly visible CSAM, fuck all is done about it.

  • Capitalism vs Social Democracy 😔

    Jump

  • Social democracy is a broad, centre-left[1] to left-wing[2] social, economic, and political ideology within the wider socialist movement[3] that supports political and economic democracy[4] and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality. In modern practice, social democracy has taken the form of a predominantly capitalist,[5] yet robust welfare state, with policies promoting social justice, market regulation, and a more equitable distribution of income.[5][6]

    Aka Capitalism Lite, still with the same root issue of Capitalism. Capitalists.

  • MBFC is a load of horse shit.

    LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

    Overall, we rate Politico Europe Left-Center biased based on story selection and editorial positions that slightly favor the left. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

    Versus Wikipedia:

    Politico (stylized in all caps), known originally as The Politico, is an American political digital newspaper company founded by American banker and media executive Robert Allbritton in 2007.[4]

    In 2021, Politico was reportedly acquired for over $1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.[6] Axel Springer SE's CEO Mathias Dopfner said that Politico employees would be required to adhere to the company's principles of support for Israel's right to exist, support for a United Europe and a free-market economy.[7]

    In 2024, Politico was handed leaked confidential materials from the Donald Trump presidential campaign. Politico confirmed that the documents were authentic but refused to report on their contents. The Associated Press wrote that the decision by Politico to not report on the Trump campaign leaks stands "in marked contrast" to Politico's extensive reporting on the leaked email communications of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager, John Podesta.[110]

    An investigation by The Intercept, The Nation, and DeSmog found that Politico is one of the leading media outlets that publishes advertising for the fossil fuel industry while failing to adequately distinguish between independent journalism and native advertising.[111] Journalists who cover climate change for Politico are concerned that conflicts of interest with the companies and industries that cause climate change, obstruct action, and engage in greenwashing through sponsored content will reduce the credibility of their reporting on climate change and cause readers to be misinformed.[111]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politico

    Axel Springer SE (German: [ˈaksl̩ ˈʃpʁɪŋɐ ɛsˈeː]) is a European multinational mass and online media company, based in Berlin, Germany.

    with numerous multimedia news brands, such as Bild, Die Welt, Fakt, and the US political news site Politico, which Axel Springer acquired in 2021.[5]

    The company generated total revenues of about €3.93 billion and an EBITDA increase of 12.8% in the first half of 2023.[6][7] Following US private-equity firm KKR's majority-stake acquisition in 2020, Axel Springer’s revenues have increased by a total of approximately €1 billion.[8][9][10] The company, including its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and licenses, operates in more than 40 countries.

    In the United States, Axel Springer is ranked among the top four digital publishers, alongside USA Today, News Corp, and The New York Times.[6]

    Gudrun Kruip, a scholar associated with the Stiftung Bundespräsident-Theodor-Heuss-Haus, has claimed that Axel Springer SE, along with its subsidiaries, exhibits a pro-American stance, often omitting criticism of US foreign policy.[60] This observation is then backed by allegations made by two former CIA officers in an interview with The Nation, claiming that Axel Springer received $7 million from the CIA.[61] The purpose of this funding, they allege, was to influence the publisher to align its editorial content with American geopolitical interests.[61] Although no conclusive evidence has come to light, Springer's admission in his autobiography regarding the financial challenges faced at the outset of his publishing venture, suggesting the necessity of external funding for the company's rapid growth led Kruip to believe that the allegations of CIA financial support are credible.[60] As of 2001, the Axel Springer SE names "solidarity with the libertarian values of the United States of America" as one of its core principles on its website.[62] This explicit stance has led to critiques from scholars and independent observers regarding the company's perceived alignment with American interests.[60][63][64][65][66] Furthermore, an article in Foreign Policy has critiqued Axel Springer SE for a history of compromising journalistic ethics to support right-wing causes, implying a longstanding pattern of bias in its publications.[67]

  • This has been dragging on for far too long. If Feddit.UK were caught doing similar @flamingos@feddit.uk would be having their door kicked in about now and their hardware seized.

    The only silver lining is it removes any facade of "protecting the children" from the new internet laws and will wake some people up to the bullshit surveillance that they are.
