19 Years, No Censorship
"Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations." -George Orwell
"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four" -George Orwell
"The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it" -George Orwell
"The fallacy is to believe that under a dictatorial government you can be free inside" -George Orwell
"If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" -George Orwell
"Freedom of speech is real" -George Orwell
"Will the man in the street ever feel that freedom of the mind is as important and as much in need of being defended as his daily bread?" -George Orwell

Techrights.org and TuxMachines.org, put together or combined duration-wise, have been online for over 40 years. They do not delete pages. TuxMachines.org, for instance, still has the very same pages it had more than two decades ago, accessible via the exact same Web addresses it had more than 20 years ago. This is a principled stance; I've long done the same in schestowitz.com, my personal site. All the same URLs that worked back in 2002 are still working. They didn't change. HTTPS was added as a protocol, but the site is still fully accessible over HTTP. Old machines with old E-mails with old Web addresses can still access the same resources, even using pre-Firefox browsers (everything was tested with Netscape, Konqueror and so on).
This week we'll air an explosive new series which - as we explained earlier - "can result in arrests or mass resignations in Europe's second-largest institution, the EPO"...
If the EPO attempts to silence us, as it attempted several times before, we will resist. We never ever surrender to bullies. We never did and we never will.
No factual information is ever going to be removed, more so if it is in the public interest.
Later today I'll begin preparing balloons and other decorations for next week's anniversary party. █
