Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-freedom-of-speech-and-ending-federal-censorship/
This is largely the no-more moderating hate speech order, but this bit is pretty sweeping: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report."
The Attorney General's office is going to be busy as hell keeping up with all these wide-scale audits of Biden's regime that pretty much every order calls for. Altogether, these orders point to sweeping retaliation within the fed for the past four years, and an explicit threat to get in line for the next four. Not unexpected, of course.
Bit idea: we just spam "crakkker house" nonstop on White House social media, then sue the government when we get banned for comically large amounts of money.
You and I both know it only goes one way, KKKrackkkers are only allowed to say racist stuff and we will get banned without a chance of being able to sue
How are platforms supposed to comply with this while simultaneously complying with other countries requirement to moderate that content?
I think in the EU, Venezuela, Brazil and Australia, the banned posts are hidden but if you use an USA vpn you can see the removed posts. Idk how long this will last though.
Trump will tell them he will sanction them to hell and back unless they repeal their gommulist censorship laws, and they will fold like the submissive vassals they are.
Also doubtful whether the Euro welfare states live to see the end of the decade.
It's like he doesnt even understand kayfabe, the Dems weren't really trying to destroy him, they were just playing the heel for a bit. The trial probably helped him more than it hurt him, but he's still too egomaniacal to let it go.
Apropos of nothing:
