Trying to mass censor user generated content in real time and not causing censorship of speech from outside the UK isn't going to work. The only way they could stop anything they dislike is to abolish social media and implement a new internal national network that is wholly controlled by the state for residential use. We've seen the UK police website being blocked to those outside the UK. In the future, it could be physically blocked (making VPN's useless) and only available within a UK Intranet. Which I think they will do in the long term.
An update to a previous post I made also mentioned in the link, the first arrest for "inaccurate information" was made to a prominent critic of the UK Government, someone who was critical of vaccine mandates, lockdowns and face masks - Bernie Spofforth. From what I understand, she is just the first of many who face arrest as these plans will now make social and communication networks legally mandated to report what the state deems to be dissent, lies and harm to law enforcement.
This law introduced by the Conservatives will bite them in the backside as it will be used against those creating electoral communications that are critical of the ruling Labour Party. It's going to be very difficult for anything critical of Labour to be published as anyone who does faces arrest.
Labour will also likely make VPN use outside of business and Government illegal. They attempted to push an amendment to the Online Safety Bill to this end but it failed. Now they have a large majority and a new opportunity to ban them for good.
Another thing that came about in the last couple of days, the renamed Counter Disinformation Unit who targeted those critical of Government during Covid-19, the National Security Online Information Team, are now targeting those critical of Government who are on the right wing.
TL;DR - the UK now has a literal Ministry of Truth.
I was with you until you start crying about labour vs conservatives. They are the same thing. Uniparty
Even though they are one and the same in terms of policies, they still want to be the ruling party and not the leader of the opposition.
No they don't. They want to continue the masquerade ball while they all get paid to perform
I don't know specificaly about the UK, but I am generally of the belief that it looks more real when they're really fighting over something. It's kind of like a TV judge show, if you understand how they split "prizes" there.
I'd believe it if they didn't all go to the same schools. Go to the same bars. Go to the same restaurants. Go to the same hotels. Vacation in the same places. Invest in the same things....
Tbc I don't believe them. I think it's elaborately staged like pro wrestling. Pro wrestlers still hurt each other even though they're trying to go easy. Usually no one dies. That kind of competition
So what you're saying is that England does not, in fact, prevail.
It's disappointing to see how cucked large parts of UK remain (to the point of viciously cheering for even bystanders to be arrested for the crime of being 'racist'), but that's to be expected after decades of unquestioned propaganda and conditioning to accept government oppression.
Still, I can't help but feel The Noticing has reached a point of no return. I hope I'm right. I hope these extreme measures (which prove both their malice and their vulnerability) are the beginning of their undoing.
I know it's hard to have hope, sometimes, but I've seen more and more people waking up, to the point where verboten beliefs and suppressed information are becoming common knowledge.
After a sustained, worldwide campaign to demoralize and declaw the people - especially native whites - it can take longer than we would like, but... as shown throughout history, sometimes things do happen.
However it ends, I'm just glad to see people fighting. The will of the people, and their ability to discern truth, were always the most crucial factors.
Keep in mind that the people in power can print money, and lie about everything. They pay people to protest on their behalf, with pre printed signs, to make it seem like the public supports their positions. There are a lot of normie puppets out there, but not nearly as many as you're made to believe.
The lesson is simple: stop trusting known liars. They lie to us about everything.
The censorship is increasing worldwide. The elites want to recover the control of information.
Mask off baby. These last few years have been incredible to expose their ulterior motives.
Democracy is nothing more than a word without open and free debate.
Wouldn't be the worst idea.
Social media allows free speech to disseminate.
Social media allows brainrot. There are other options that don't require going full attention whore and/or narcissist telling the whole world your daily life that few even ever ask about but that's where basically ever single platform has moved to because it generates money from idiots/normies and ads.
Look at the jokes that get made about how any country trying to ban a social media platform would have people complaining they can't spend all day on said platform. It's both tragic and pathetic that's how some people spend their lives and the world as a whole would be far better off without social media as it is.
Is how some put things, but in agreement with your point it does mean getting the signal out there is far easier so a more nuanced approach such as:
could be better and very well solve one of the great filters of civilisation that prevent things turning out like Idiocracy.
It's probably why they're pushing the concept long term of a closed Intranet where the UK is isolated from the rest of the world. Not many countries have attempted that. North Korea's Kwangmyong is the well known one but places like Iran, Cuba and Russia have either tested or developing their own internal networks. Not exactly the countries the UK Government want to be associated with but we may be beyond the Rubicon now.
They don't have the infrastructure, resources or manpower to SUCCESSFULLY do it. The countries that can don't bother, the countries that attempt to do it like China, North Korea are suffering from so many internal issues that they are losing their power slowly.
The UK is in a WORSE position than China or any other examples, they don't have the military to withstand 2 weeks of a conflict and numbers aren't improving with a lack of recruits, infrastructure is DECADES behind and there is no reverence to authority. They're boiling the pot but the government doesn't realise THEY are the frog.
Sounds like the sort of thing you'd see in a Roadrunner/Tom and Jerry sketch with Wile E Coyote/Tom taking a saw to a tree branch both WEC/Tom and RR/Jerry are sitting on only for the camera to zoom out at the last moment when the branch is finally severed and reveal WEC/Tom was on the distal/far end of the branch the entire time.
Upvote because I need the hopium these days.
How are we going to hear or notice it?
The Tories buried a report about Labour's crimes against the British people. Those Tories are going to be fine.
While I am not afraid about getting extradited as a Canadian, how concerned should I be of the UK successfully asking the Canadian government to convict me for insurrectionist speech against the UK?
Needs to be a crime in both the UK and Canada before any UK authority can demand your extradition.
Trudeau will happily oblige.
Suddenly 'quid pro quo' is back on the menu.
Smuggle guns to them.
I know a place where we can get a lot of US milsurp for cheap.
It's kind of a long drive, but hear me out: https://i.imgur.com/OUlqhS5.png
The UK's shores are very porous as long as you appear like a group of vibrant young men on your way to do some enriching. Golden opportunity for burgers to make some cash while also helping a nigga out.
This is what the citizens of the UK want. They have chosen to be a warning to the rest of the west rather than choosing to save themselves. But at least they won't be remembered as racists.
Curious is the large majority refers to MPs or to its citizens. Because I feel we are being sold a lie on how popular censorship is with citizens and how many people back this labour government.
I don’t trust mainstream anything anymore and we know their tactics with polls and lying about a “majority of people” feel this way when they only polled 80% of people they knew they’d get the correct answer from. Cherry picking stats etc.
I am not saying I’m right but I think it’s a very good possibility that the support is not quite majority.
It is an undermade point that the people who run for office are far more enthusiastic about government than average citizens.
Fair enough, that is a good point. Unsettling of course. Shame we can’t have the average Joe run for office and be able to make it without needing billions of pounds/dollars. Or the cut throat nature of it all. I think more average people would volunteer if it was truly a public servant job again.
