This just shows that the criminal justice system is broken.

Standing outside a court holding up a sign that states a fact is neither perverting the course of justice, nor contempt of court.

It is free speech, a protected right.

If stating a fact in a public place can be illegal, then we have no actual justice in the UK. Only corrupt power ruling absolutely.

The reason Sweden allows Quran burning despite international anger.

Recent public desecrations of the Quran by a handful of anti-Islam activists in Sweden have sparked an angry reaction in Muslim such as Iraq, Iran and Lebanon, but the country has no law against blasphemy, and protections for freedom of speech.

@feditips Hi. Would appreciate any insight on this question:
Is it possible for #mastodon users to somehow follow a #fediverse account that happens to be on a blocked instance?
Thanks.

Pedro Almodovar, one of my favorite directors, warns about the choice of Spain on 23 of July. Spain cannot be compared with Turkey in terms of modernity or democracy, but the way the right does politics, the discourses it uses, issues etc. how similar to each other almost all over the world... https://www.eldiario.es/cultura/cine/diario-vuela-pluma-pedro-almodovar-si-ultraderecha-entra-instituciones-garete_129_10345567.html #misinformation #lgbtq #homophobia #disinformation #dirtypolitics #spain #23dejulio #turkeyelections #loveislove #freedomofspeech

As if the quality of much that passes for news reporting isn't bad enough already. The AI-enabled race to the bottom is accelerating.

@sarahc There used to be a saying: A conspiracy theorist can present 10 ill-witted schemes in the same time it takes a fact-checker to debunk 1 of them.

With AI, the same actor can now create 10 synthetic journalists, publishing fact-checks per each of their schemes.

As a result, the human fact-checker is now not at a mere 1/10, but 1/100 disadvantage.

We need certification of human produced content.

Digital signage.

Forget AI doom: If we want to keep #freedomofspeech , take care of spam.

⚠️ GE: CODE RED⚠️

Attention, citizens of Georgia(country)!
Default DNS servers of both Silknet and Magti are now considered hostile.

Not sure what exactly is going on, but I now consider the risks of the introduction of full-fledged web censorship mechanisms to be very high.

Change your DNS now.

@marius851000 @lnkr_ There are ten RIPE Atlas probes in Georgia and not one of them exhibit this behaviour https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/53364837/#probes The "censored" names are fine for all.
RIPE Atlas probes' DNS resolvers may not be typical resolvers so more information is needed (output from dig, names/ASn of providers, etc).
Also, it may have been a temporary network glitch? Or, of course, a test for censorship.
