Censorship as Signal of Opportunity for Reform
WebM: Julian Assange on Censorship
THIS short or abbreviated (for concision) video clip is over a decade old, but it is still very much relevant, not only to us as a site but to a lot of the "modern" media, which faces all sorts of restrictions on speech, not only in social control media but especially in all those "third-party" platforms like Antenna in Gemini. Yes, Geminispace also has this issue when capsule comes to rely on various syndication or search services. It's the wrong way to maintain Independence.
It remains sad and ironic that Wikileaks outsourced so much of its official communications to Twitter (now X) - effectively a censorship platform that censored Wikileaks and its associates a lot over the years - and nearly 4 weeks after Assange's release the front page and news section of Wikileaks remain unchanged. Old leaks like "Spy Files Russia" are at least in good integrity (not all). █
