Not to state the obvious, but there's not been a diagnosis of covid-19 yet, so let's keep that in mind before concluding this person has it. Also, otherwise healthy 30-year olds need to do exactly what this person is doing: quaran

Because the guardian uses diogwhistles when under threat of defamation. Instead of outright lying/name-calling Paul a right wing extremist - which opens up the guardian to fact checks and defamation lawsuits, they just imply it, with w

Why does Google feel the need to censor any conservative content? The right to censor doesn't have to culminate in actual censorship without cause. Double speak is on full display here: self certified ethical, moral, freedom loving,

Does anyone else find it ironic that Google (rightly) led the net neutrality fight against ISPs/carriers, with one of the complaints being potential censorship from these entities. And then they turn around and censor conservative cont

Because BBC (and by proxy the ones that control it) want to have the last word on news and culture. What used to be a center left organization is now teeming with many in the far left, blatantly allied with the labor party [1]. Turning stat

Disclaimer: No association with Google or the banned account. Also, strongly disagree with the banned user's take on the suit. This ban seems unfair, and if it is rooted in an anti-astroturfing policy, then that policy appears way too

Very sad situation - deeply empathize with the working class that's battling economic pain on top of a health crisis. No real blame can be placed on the manufacturing reliant employer base either - they work at razor thin margins and a
