( programming stuff ) This isn’t new. Ask the Germans who weren’t with the nazis if they had to speak in euphamisms… Ask the Christians who weren’t with the inquisitors… ask the Hong Kong people not in the CCP… it’s always the same: if the owner of the platform dictates specific-nonspeech/suppression, then you either don’t speak there, xor you comply-in-form while speaking there. & so long as the owned-platforms own most of the world’s speech, then it is rank ideology to pretend that only leaving is valid. Nothing has changed except the details, through the centuries… human-nature is the same as it was in politics centuries ago. 🙏
