Brexiters "don’t just want what they can’t have, but they want what they don’t want". https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/back-to-school.html
Sublime from Professor Chris Grey, as always 👏👨🏫🇪🇺
So my older sister was watching protest footage in her city on YouTube. There were local stations, individual streamers, you name it. My sister ends up getting footage from Ruptly.
Yes. I am referring to the Russian propaganda outlet.
It took a whole text conversation to convince her why this wasn't a good idea.

Big Tech Extortion Racket: How Google, Amazon, and Facebook Control Our Lives
These companies are the most powerful middlemen in history. Each guards the gate to innumerable sources of essential information, services, and products. Yet thus far no governmental entity in the United States has signaled any intention of limiting the license these corporations enjoy to serve only the customers they choose to, at whatever price they decide.

This is despicable:
"White US professor admits she has pretended to be Black for years
"Jessica Krug, an activist who teaches African American history, writes Medium post apologizing for false identity..."

Dear Americans,
Over the next two months, you will be assaulted by a next level, non-stop barrage of divisive media propaganda - to pit you against each other, get you emotionally jacked up, fearing for your life, and encouraging you to hate 'the other side'.
Don't fall for it. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1301787508217393154 #Zuby #Propaganda

Voatz, an elections platform that is notoriously hostile to security research, claims that the notoriously overbroad Computer Fraud and Abuse Act doesn't undermine computer security—in part because of bug bounty programs like @Hacker0x01's.
@Hacker0x01 disagrees—and so do we. https://twitter.com/senorarroz/status/1301610174273052672
@tripu I can't read the Financial Times article due to the hard paywall, but the NY Post article is fascinating. (And normally I mildly dislike the NY Post)
@freemo A little exaggerated, but not by much..

1. This isn't the only app that doesn't block Gab, and I'm not even sure if there are Gab-blocking apps that have been targeted or non-Gab blocking apps that haven't.
2. Gab, last I checked, hasn't been accessible via ActivityPub, so the apps shouldn't work anyway in accessing it.
3. Google is being sufficiently vague that we have no idea what the precise issue is. It could be a "you-need-to-block-every-instance-we-don't-like" for all we know.
4. Even if it is about Gab, this is a dangerous precedent. By the same logic, Google could implement a site blacklist in Chrome and force all other browsers to comply with their block or be kicked from the Play store.

Looks like writing whiny plaintive letters to a Big Tech executive is the thing to do today. If the business is indeed interfering with the democratic process and the employees abusing elected leaders, how does writing to CEO help? Why not just ban the app family?
