Regarding Stephen Colbert and censorship... Looking backwards to The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour...

My letter has been included in this journal's special section on #censorship of history: https://persimmontree.org/fall-2025/censoring-history/#DefendResearch
In other news, the merger between RT, TASS and NBC has been approved by the FCC... 😏

Very pleased to share that my article on #censorship and federally supported information is out in the Summer issue of "Documents to the People." Much appreciation to the peer reviewers and editor for asking good questions and helping to improve it.
Since the UK and to an extant the EU governments like age verification so much and asking for photo ID from people for using the internet, how long until the provider that handles these verifications has a data breach?
Of course, the politicians will be fine, they probably all have their VPN apps which have likely been filed as an expense somewhere.

The upshot is "Howard’s entire channel has now been deleted by YouTube, which cited copyright infringement." #ALPHA aka @Google cloaking #censorship of significant misleading public claims by powerful people as "Copyright infringement."
I wonder when enough people will pitch Al…

#SanFrancisco and #BayArea folks, I'm going to talk about fighting #censorship at the August 20th Nerd Nite San Francisco! Help spread the word and hope to see some of you there!
UK police conflating "support for Palestine" with "support for proscribed group Palestine Action".
When they passed that law, I _thought_ things might slide this way at some point!
"In the encounter, which she filmed, one officer told her: “Mentioning freedom of Gaza, Israel, genocide, all of that all come under proscribed groups, which are terror groups that have been dictated by the government.”
"He went on to say that the phrase “Free Gaza” is “supportive of Palestine Action”, adding it was an offence “to express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation, namely Palestine Action is an offence under section 12(1A) of the Terrorism Act”. The officer told her she had committed that offence."
Starmer & co really need to speak out if this _wasn't_ exactly what they wanted to have happen :-/

I think everyone needs to see this and understand what is happening with our online privacy #privacy #cybersecurity #censorship
I wonder how the #OnlineSafetyAct will try to handle P2P "user-to-user services".

Sue Parfitt / Palestine Action / UK censorship
"An 83-year-old retired priest has been arrested for defying a newly enforced ban on pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action, just hours after the group was formally outlawed by the UK government.
"The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription."

Palestine Action / UK censorship
Good article from @….
"While the groups actions may constitute criminal damage, their actions do not represent an attempt to induce fear in the population by creating an imminent threat to life. ...
"Proscribing Palestine Action as terrorists is not about public safety – it is about suppressing protest that we may disagree or agree with, but that stands well short of being an attempt to strike fear into the British public through the use of indiscriminate violence against people. In equating support of damage to military property with support of terrorism, it endangers legitimate debate about the UK-Israel arms trade. ...
"As there is no public evidence of any link to terrorism or support of terrorist groups from Palestine Action, Open Rights Group supports their decision to appeal proscription. While we may have differing opinions on their tactics, we stand against this attack on their right to exist and speak out."

Excellent piece by a dear friend of mine about #censorship in our national parks. Read her piece and then use the #DefendResearch toolkits to call your elected officials and write a letter to the editor!
