MayFirst should fight against Internet Censorship and work to come up with user friendly tech non-censored alternatives. I’ve said it here before as least twice, see:
but I’ll say it again - there is nothing more important for all our movements, or the techies supporting them, than seeking to get their word out UNCENSORED and combating the censorship that the powers-that-shouldn’t-be have ratcheted up to unbelievable levels during these crazy times. Everyone having access to technology to access the internet and free software to navigate it, to learn, to share knowledge, to meet, are all worthy goals but how meaningful will the results be if the only viewpoints one receives from it or what can be found through searching it, or what opposition groups are meeting and planning, are only from those which the government, in cahoots with the consolidated corporate media, deem “authoritative” and not fake news or misinformation. THEY are making that call. THEY are the gatekeepers. WAKE UP PEOPLE. The answer to what some consider fake news or misinformation is MORE speech not less and the better ideas will out. WHO do you want to choose what’s accurate or true? Do you need a babysitter? Someone to vet your information for you? We’re now living in 1984 to infinity.
I post about this yet again with little hope that May First will address this challenge. Perhaps if book burning was involved, it might attract more attention. FIRE - FIRE - DOES ANYONE SEE THE JOKE THAT IS BEING MADE OF THE U.S. FIRST AMENDMENT’s RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH ON THE INTERNET AND IN SOCIAL MEDIA? Of course, internet censorship is also increasing across the globe . . .
