Users of Meta’s social platforms can no longer share links to ICE List, a website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of DHS employees.

    Reddit and Lemmy users loved spamming that “Tiananmen Square” copypasta because “oh China bad will censor it, you can actually make fake chinese users be banned by copying it”.

    I wonder if they’ll love spamming the Epstein and ICE links now that the USA monitors and censors those.

      Yes. They will. Because it’s not about who the aggressor is. If you aren’t able to figure that out, then you really should look at getting a better real world education and not just sitting in your mom’s basement, or propaganda mill, it’s hard to tell the difference nowadays. The neck eards keep regurgitating the same talking points the astroturfing farm drones do.

        You say that, but it clearly is exactly about who the aggressor is. The way the USA is treated on Reddit and Lemmy is significantly more lenient and smoothened out than anybody else.

        The US does something horrible, the comments are wondering if there’s a hidden good reason why, comparing how Russia and China must be worse, or writing an analogy about how that like the early days of the Nazi regime (in other words, an external checkpoint).

        The asymmetry is precisely the issue, and replying with a cheesy paragraph changes nothing.
