Operation Mole — Part V — The Fall of a Man is a Woman (Matthew J Garrett Foolishly Unmasks Himself, Tying Himself to Crimes)
Now that everyone can see the chronic lying and the sockpuppets legion of the man who helped Microsoft "kill" Linux (and BSD) we need to step back and remind people why this matters a lot
[Meme] Matthew J. Garrett Was Teaching in Berkeley, Not Committing Abuses Online
It’s perfectly obvious that Matthew J Garrett (the person who helped Microsoft shut BSD and GNU/Linux users out of their PCs) was not abusing people online (later committed crimes online) because, according to Matthew J Garrett himself, there is some old syllabus that says he seldom teaches at Berkeley and there’s no Internet connection at the whole of Berkeley, obviously!

Bytedance/TikTok is a Threat to Freedom, Including Free Speech
Fentanylware (TikTok) is very harmful, but some sites insist that the threat should be ignored, citing an amendment that China (controlller of Bytedance) neither has nor recognises; this has nothing to do with free speech and Bytedance/TikTok actually pose a threat to it
The Next Ugly Phase May be Web Censorship Built Into the Web Browser (Under the Guise of Safety From Alleged 'Misinformation' and Supposedly 'Illegal' Things)
Censorship on the World Wide Web is expanding and it seems plausible that the client side (browser) will facilitate a lot of this, quite likely in the name of "security"
The 'Modern' Web and Fake Authorities
Authoritarians and spies have ruined the Web for the vast majority of us; no longer can freedom be expected on the Web
