The Australian Government’s case against Facebook
News Corp Bargaining CodeWe certainly don’t hold with the right-wing media but in the US there are attempts not to go through the legislative process and pass laws but to pressure unaccountable private companies to de-platform the cable news outlets, the liberal/progressive/leftists disagree with.
China campaigns to undermine the BBC.
An informative article of media manipulation citing the expose work of Peter Oborne who on this forum has been quoted approvingly on various international affairs.
Norman Finkelstein: ‘WHY WE SHOULD REJOICE AT HOLOCAUST DENIERS, NOT SUPPRESS THEM – A Reply to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’: http://normanfinkelstein.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Finkelstein-HDeny.pdf
This article was submitted to multiple “progressive” publications touting a principled commitment to freedom of speech. It was rejected by all of them.
Not submitted to us surely?
I very much doubt we are on Finkelstein’s radar.
And anyway it would have been rejected by the Standard’s editors as they are reluctant to publish non-members.
The WSPUS may have been more receptive having a more lenient editorial policy
And our SOYMB blog would very much have welcomed it since i have admired Finkelstein for quite a while even if he is dour sounding individual. In fact, i have trouble identifying any animated speaker.
It should go to climate crisis thread but i already posted twice there
This didn’t make the UK news…we can wonder why

About the bias of the Guardian and well worth a read
Mark Curtis exposes the Guardian’s hypocrisy and double-standards
Karma? I don’t have Facebook. I found a policeman who assaulted a pregnant woman and a man video posted on Facebook and comments by the usual suspects (retiree cops) praising the cop, abusing the female, offensive.
The pregnant woman is suing the police.Facebook are crying because Apple have a new feature iOS 14.5 that’s automatically set to off, that stops companies (like Facebook) from tracking advertising, to users.
Facebook v Apple: The ad tracking row heats up https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56831241
This. Facebook can count on their racist users to pay up.🤣 The we don’t like what you say report and get you shut down users to cough up. 🤣Good luck with that.
BBC bias reporting
This is from RT, a main rival to the BBC and the voice of Putin’s Russia, but even so, its claims of the BBC distorting the news is valid.
Re my #215880, relatedly see this by Chomsky in 1989: https://chomsky.info/1989____/ .
(edit: I suppose this would probably have been better posted on the Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism thread.)
After German authorities complained that RT launched live broadcasts in Germany without a license, Paris-based Eutelsat to removed it from its satellite.
