> ¿Por qué no los dos?
Because the man crying wolf about the EU's fines against his business has his arms elbow-deep in this mess. Any such conversation involving him is like asking the House of Saud in to weigh in on freedom of the press and the health and well-being of investigative journalists.

The current censorship efforts are radically different in both their degree and in their quality. Public dissent to radical MAGA ideology is being aggressively and violently attacked in a way that hasn't been happening since the Cold War. (Despite what people trying to play victim and drawing false equivalences may claim.)
- iamnothere 11mo agoHmm, I have to disagree. There’s a very real threat right now that Western governments will effectively shrug off years of precedent and fully “lock down” the internet—finally killing anonymity and privacy for good, and closing the remaining escape hatches that are available. The UK wants to do it, Australia wants to do it, the EU wants to do it, and a large (though not currently dominant) segment of the US political establishment wants to do it. This is sort of an all hands on deck moment to prevent these people from succeeding. It has to be fought in every venue using any and all means necessary.
