As part of a criminal investigation, an activist American payment network is requesting to stop selling video games that they seem inappropriate and has basically treated itch.io, Steam, etc. as an “organized crime group.” Democratic governments should allow all games to be played, not silence things they dislike. The United States will defend the free prudence of all Americans against acts of foreign fun.
USA can straight up go fuck itself now. They don’t dictate anything anymore.
What is the actual context here? I don’t trust what this tweet says
Is this the same United States that’s investigating people for having unflattering memes of the vice president on their phone?
Tell us more about the importance of free speech.
It’s the free speech where they cancel broadcasts they don’t like in exchange for approving corporate mergers.
Translation help from Fascist English to US English:
- “activist” = a non-politician whose free speech we don’t like
- “allow all voices to be heard” / “free speech” = extremist/unconstitutional/propaganda speech which serves the interests of the current fascist regime must be allowed, while every other speech will be labelled as being activist/communist/un-American/…
- “defend […] all Americans” = at least the part of Americans which we tolerate or haven’t jailed yet (subject to change)
Kyub’s right.
Idiots.
Not even regular idiots, hypocritical idiots.
You have to believe that the French government have evaluated in the same week the risk of recognising Palestine and condemning a US company against how vindictive the US government are right now. Hopefully they stick to their guns on both.
From my experience living in the US, the country is not a good reference point for any discussions around the nature of free speech.
Free speech polemics in the US largely have a demonstrative role with individuals parroting random copytext that they’ve heard before in an attempt to position themselves as being special and independent.
In a way, the whole thing is very entertaining.
Every state or social group has its shibboleths - the American one is just to performatively pretend they don’t have any.
Definitely. There is a lot of good things about the US, lots to see, different types of experiences, nice nature. But that doesn’t mean I have to agree with polemics that make no sense.
Okay, now defend us from the foreign censorship that Israeli lobbyists baked into our state constitutions. https://www.newsweek.com/pro-palestinian-protest-states-colleges-illegal-bds-1895292
Requesting information isn’t limiting free speech is it? Now if that algorithm shows it is indeed limiting or promoting people’s speech in a non-equal manner, that would be limiting people’s free speech would it not?
Dont try facts on the American government and 40% of its population. They dont work like that.
Just call it Twitter. He’s been trying to make “fetch” happen since the 90s. We get it, rich boy, you have a single-character .com domain. I’m still sending money over PayPal, because that’s what it’s fucking called.
PayPal? The platform that can freeze your account and keep your money for whatever reason and amount of time they like? I don’t know…
us should realise the world doesn’t revolve around them and nobody respects them.
large backlog in north korea, russia, and china. Better get that military up to snuff.
He’s not American, he’s a super racist south african with Canadian citizenship.
He’s been an American for 23 years.
In America. Not the same thing. He’s been an illegal alien the whole time.
His citizenship hasn’t been revoked. That’s like saying Trump should be in jail. Sure, but where does he sleep at night?
Difference is Trump WAS going to jail. He just decided he wouldnt. Hope the next president just get away with him forever, if Trump survives his term (because of age)
