I mean, the title may be true, but I’d hardly call this a crazy law. Draconian censorship is routine and endemic globally. It’s the Free Speech policy that’s “crazy”.
As more media is heavily monetized, the real appeal of censorship is as a revenue source. Surveillance, draconian administration, and targeting of dissidents all become income streams for the platforms.
Nothing unusual about that, either
I like free speech. I’m on a 1st amendment guaranteed free speech website and I can scrap with diehard trump supporters on there which is quite fun. There are people who love trump of course and there are also people on the right who are aware that trump is a zionist pet. It’s nice being able to disagree with people but without being banned for having the wrong opinion. This way, I develop a better understanding of how others think.
How is targeting dissidents a revenue source? Not in most countries surely?
States with large pools of disposable income and businesses with big PR budgets will pay top dollar to squelch activists and opponents.
How much is Palantir getting paid? How much is Black Cube getting paid? There’s always a pricetag on this work and plenty of organizations - especially fascist governments - are happy to outsource the work to friendly contractors.
I got a warning on reddit a couple days ago for suggesting Deni Avdija (NBA player) is getting a superstar whistle this season because he is Israeli.
They removed my comment and threatened me with a ban for promoting violence when all I said was “It’s because he’s Israeli.” In response to the OPs question.
I was mostly joking, but it kinda seems like they are already doing what this guy is saying they should do.
The fact the moderator didn’t even ask for proof for such claim. Typical behaviour.

And this is why I’m here
Remember if you must reddit, lurk, any voting, commenting you do over there is transferring value from you to reddit.
I know, I feel a bit ashamed that I made an account and started commenting again. I’m going to delete it again soon.
People underestimate how hard it is to stay out of the comments. Most of our happy chemicals come from the comments. We’ve trained ourselves to head there after reading the post, if not just the headline. It’s not good, not now, when the comments are policed and filtered so thoroughly.
So…the Jews want to control the media…? Man, they’re really trying to live up to some of those old stereotypes.
But now that it’s a stereotype you aren’t allowed to call it out if it really happens lol
Shrewd maneuvers.
Not Jews but Zionists specifically, including Christian Zionists. Zionists have had siginficant control over US media for a very long time but when you state the obvious people call it the antisemitic trope because they have been conditioned to do so. They were pretty open about why they bought TikTok
Thank god I am not American.
Europe unfortunately isn’t really going in the right direction either with things like chat control
Digital services act is the one that put up speech controls for socials.
That Heeb be a Dweeb!
Only antisemitism? Not other forms of racism?
I bet the only form of “antisemitism” this is about, is criticism of genocide.
…or we can just decentralize the entire web again. Seriously!
A better example

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!
MOTHERFUCKERRRRR
You can’t tell me what to do! I WILL suck dick in the library!
And remember his definition of anti-Semitism includes accurately reporting the activities of Israelis in Gaza.
The First Amendment is already gone. Have you seen what happens to people who criticize the regime? The US is cooked, fam.
First Amendment was always a polite fiction of the regime. Americans get to pretend they have it until they upset someone with actual power.
But you’re always free to run scams, to slander the weak and vulnerable, and to rally bigots into a lynch mob. So the idea of Free Speech remains valuable to demagogues and unscrupulous marketing goons alike.
Seems like reverse Nazi to me.
Zionists are the heirs to Nazi fascism.
Anti-semites: Jews have no place in modern society and multi-culturalism is a sham
Zionists: Jews have no place in modern society and multi-culturalism is a sham
