It's like reading that BP disbands their team for renewable energy innovation. Am I supposed to be sad? I'm not. I don't care. It was all fake from the very beginning even if the team had many people who were naive enough to

Did someone come up with a good explanation of why Peter Daszak and various affiliates of EcoHealth alliance were involved in nearly all the media "coverage" (dismissals) of the lab leak hypothesis when it first popped up? And why

There are posts about specific events and dates on that Twitter feed. And it's just a quick example I found in 2 minutes, one of countless such accounts.

Exactly as expected. The more websites CloudFlare bans, the more its reputation will sink, the more enraged and demanding the pro-censorship mob will become. I note this one more time: almost no posts talking in favor of banning stuff here

Transfer away from HTTP and DNS. Use something like global NATS clusters for content delivery. Make sure there are many providers. Problem is, this is not what Big Tech actually wants.

Why should I take this argument on good faith when literally this same argument has been repeatedly used in attempts to deplatform comedians, popular politicians, writers, journalists and tons of ordinary people?

Unelected technocrats taking the law into their own hands and using arbitrary judgment calls to manipulate infrastructure is not an improvement on the current legal system. Especially when they are making promises they don't keep and w

I just love how the pro-censorship crowd here is faking moderation and exasperated reasonableness, while the rest of us know full well how this game is played. We see it on literally all major social media platforms right now . It started

I'm resubmitting my last story using a different source. It linked to the original press release and was false-flagged by people claiming it had no substance. This story is based on a 700 page Statement on Discovery that contains numer
