Censorship and Social Media

Chanting something that is essentially a protest against the policies of Israel towards the people in Gaza is not wishing personal harm on the individual members of the IDF. They want to see the death of their action in Gaza. Not of the serving soldiers.

Anyone being anti semitic deserves to be punished. No argument about that.

This first paragraph is nonsense. So that idiotic Glastonbury “ performer” when chanting death to the IDF he was not wishing harm on members of the IDF 🤔
Using your “logic” should he just not have said “disband the IDF”

I am not inside his head! Are you?

I am not speaking about individuals. I am talking generally. About the average person who felt disgusted by what Israel did to Gaza and joined in with a chant.

I sincerely believe that most would not wish to harm those conscripts expected to do the dirty work. Nor any physical harm to those deciding the policy. The latter need to face the law for war crimes.

No but I will have a good guess who is in your head 😂. So you don’t believe he should have been prosecuted then? Fine but that says a lot about you. Many of the regular protestors couldn’t show you Palestine on a map, so saying they can separate the Israeli Government to conscripts in the IDF would possibly be a step too far.

That is another assumption but even if true the reaction of many to what they have seen on their TV screens is understandable. There may well be some highly motivated anti Israel types there too but they would surely be able to identify Palestine.

I was in Israel 2 weeks before the Hamas atrocity. I chatted with members of the IDF who are everywhere there. Just young people serving their time. There was a lot of protests about the government interfering with the Supreme Court going on while I was there. The need to see the return of the hostages has, understandably, united the people but Netanyahu is not popular. It’s the Israeli government that’s the target for criticism. Not the IDF.

All of which may appear to have no connection to Censorship and Social Media but it does. Netanyahu having openly spoken of the need to interfere in the algorithms to remove criticism of Israel and put pressure on the owners of the big platforms to do so. Whilst they use the platforms themselves to spread propaganda.

Google slams Labour over online free speech by 'undermining users' rights to freedom of expression'

Frustrations over the Online Safety Act led to the suspension of a £31billion technology deal with the US

Google has accused the UK government of threatening to stifle free speech

Maybe people will start to take notice now. Because it's not X or Elon musk saying it.

They are wrong, so it’s now up to our government to patiently explain why, and for Google to resist the pressure from the Trump administration.

There’s nothing at all in the legislation which affects users rights to post legal content. The ONLY things impacted is illegal content. Things that would not and could not appear in the MSM. Free speech is protected. Hate speech isn’t.

Perhaps they should employ you in their legal department, you seem to know more about this than the multi billion company does

- musicians
-writers
-actors
- famous food dish
- historical figures
