They will never learn,, I watched the documentary movie set in 2001 about the abuse in the Church, the fact it is still happening and people STILL trust the RC church is proof how indoctrinated their followers are.

This will keep happening.

@GWillow

We kinda saw that coming.

On a sort of related note, Employers doing social media checks on applicants.

https://www.experian.co.uk/blogs/latest-thinking/identity-and-fraud/social-media-checks-what-are-they-and-why-are-they-important/

they do this partly to protect a company reputation, so from what you describe about what is happening on Twitter it seems rather ironic that they screen new applicants but maybe employers need to look closer to home.

What conclusion would you draw about a company who is still on Twitter, given what is going on, and is it ironic they see fit to do social media checks on you as a job applicant, forgetting those checks probably go both ways.

Company reputation starts at home with their own social media presence.

Btw thank you for keeping everyone here updated. keep up the good work and importantly take care.

This is what happens when people ((helped by the media of course) produce an image of a 'stereotypical' person such as a white supremacist, you get a profile that fits that stereotype and end up being lulled in to thinking anyone who does not fit that profile can't be a white supremacist.

Agreed, however given the reasoning behind the book bans seems to be books turn you gay / trans which of course is just GOP nonsense

Especially given the fact in Florida you are risking a 3rd degree felony charge for not removing non a p proved books.

So you may determine the reasoning is flawed but have little choice but to follow the ban anyway.

@atomicpoet

So on this I think we should be specific on what to ask for initially, the fediverse is huge for a start

so how about tutors need to explain

What Free software is
What Open Source is
(as there IS a difference)

Perhaps LibreOffice as one option

In terms of Fedi

Explain the Fediverse (touch on activity pub as a protocol)

Use of : Help with setting up accounts, on different services.

Anyone here in #Devon, #UK who is at least willing to help with this, as in just contact providers and ask about courses with the view of generating some awareness that replacements exist.

I am sure the king mostly likely does not approve of any of these new powers, however as monarch he is politically neutral so if the house of commons and lords pass a bill he just signs it, as far as I am aware he can't refuse to do so.

As Prince Charles he could express an opinion even though he was meant to again stay neutral.

He is a constitutional head of state.

But yes, we should be concerned, and prepare to vote this government out in 2024

@TechDesk

Kids probably use media, partly as many of the toys they use or tv programmes they watch are also on social media and encourage interaction via social media.

@verdantsquare

Could this explain why there is gun crime, or perhaps even why so many people seem oblivious to mass murders and what could be simple solutions, the rise of the far right etc?

@flexghost

It needs a whole new mindset, so we don't give them the publicity or fame they crave much as a disagree with Trump he branded the Terrorist who committed the Manchester arena bombing a 'loser'.

When it comes to these terrorists we should not be fearful of offending people by not naming them or calling them terrorists.

When it come to Islam Muslims are as disgusted by these people as the rest of us and want nothing to do with them, or them associated with Islam a religion.

So in this context the word terrorist removes religion from their cause too. Totally the opposite to what they wanted.
