USA blocks torrent sites and CIA criticism, Russia wants everything logged, China downgrades your traffic to TLS1.2, India wants “Indian variant” phrase banned, Germany enforcing netdz, UK literally wants to stalk your child by breaking IM encryption…
You forgot about Australia, which as of now has made consumer encryption illegal.
Australia legalizes hacking!
A good summary TBH
Don’t get me started on country heads posting on twitter while twitter being throttled, then there’s all the other sites they use and block at the same time.
You again sent a pro imperialist article from New York Times (US/EU media) against Russia? You live in a Western neoliberal echo chamber, mate?
yup, for sure.
I bet you don’t like EFF either then: https://mastodon.social/@eff/106320612827603657
EFF has been a most controversial entity, that kept its mouth shut during Camridge Analytica, so keep EFF to yourself.
An interesting narrative. There is hardly any organization or media you trust
Of course, entities are not to be trusted. You have to sift through issues yourself, this is what an educated vigilant fellow does instead of blindly accepting particular groups as arbiters of truth.
It’s actually the opposite if you are thinking rationally. If all news are corrupted, how are you able to discern between what is real and what is fake? It’s not like you are an expert on all these fields, global issues and have time to fully analyze everything. Most likely you will then be choosing whatever fits your narrative.
If you want to do things properly you want reputable people and organizations to depend on.
If all news are corrupted, how are you able to discern between what is real and what is fake?
Its not necessarily about corruption, but every media (and every person) has their bias. Thats why we need critical thinking.
I agree wholeheartedly with that. We all have to be aware of our own and every other entities bias. The easiest example of how important it is; is with racism in technology. Where technology isn’t made for for example afroamericans because the team who developed the technology didn’t have a diverse enough team to discover that their tech is actually formed for mostly white people, even though if the team had been given the choice would have rectefied it. But because of diversity wasn’t aware. Which also happens with news too.
What is a “reputable” people? How have you decided X people or groups are reputable, some kind of academic degree in journalism or ethics? Are you falling hook and sinker for their marketing? Are you trying to push the narrative that independent people are more biased than funded groups?
Well, I work with communication in my dayjob, so I’ll have more experience with media stuff than most people. But you should have learned this in high school most likely.
