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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

His leaks basically confirm tech imperialism and the violation of digital sovereigty via export of nonfree software. Things like malware specifically designed for backdooring nonfree programs.

I'm glad that digital sovereignty is entering the conversation more and more in leftist circles.

Proprietary software is a paper tiger that can be defeated.

Do you think agencies like CNN or MSNBC would dare use the term “dystopian” to describe the US? Something about that word just seems like an escalation that sorta normalizes the leftish part of saying the quiet part out loud if that makes sense

CNN and MSNBC would never describe the US as anything but a paragon of "freedom" right after reporting on how a man was beaten to death by police for refusing to purchase Israeli anal lube

"Baton struck by brain tissue of non-compliant man in pleasure enhancing liquid incident claims Hamas run health Ministry."

Shit like this shows exactly why the US was so mad about Huawei in Europe but if you show it to a lib they'll just double down on CNN talking points.
