I support principles, not partisan politics.
I believe in liberty & justice for all, free speech, property rights, & truth-telling in politics & journalism.

@Reprrid The world does not need this kind of fake junk content.

Fauci privately warned of miscarriage risk linked to COVID vaccine while publicly claiming no issues, newly released texts show https://t.co/AfpDs6lhZ9

@CWichbold @SianReform Pity that article can't be bothered to provide the full quotes in context, which I have provided in a comment. https://t.co/sZSZ6gqMZR

@Number10cat @ZiaYusufUK @Nigel_Farage That restriction only applied to sitting MPs, not to councillors or ordinary party members.

@TheeAndrewGallo @reformparty_uk Your point is still irrelevant to the substance of the complaint, anyway.

[authentic8info @authentic8info]

@TheeAndrewGallo @reformparty_uk Lee Anderson switching parties and supposed lack of expertise (whatever that is meant to entail) on press impartiality are red herrings - neither of which affect the substance of the complaint.

[authentic8info @authentic8info]

@Alex_Lopez_CPA @cb_doge That's a bit of a simplistic analysis. Besides, nobody is claiming OpenAI or ChatGPT are scams, but that Sam Altman is a scammer - i.e. that he lied and was dishonest on several matters including the switch to for-profit.

@Tom_Slater_ @Daily_Express Those news organisations already have an advantage based on greater access to funding and resources. They do not need a further boost. If smaller YouTubers are beating them in the algorithm then it's most likely due to lack of trust, and a poor reputation.

[authentic8info @authentic8info]

@TheeAndrewGallo @reformparty_uk Whataboutery and red herrings. Both issues can matter at the same time.

@CatchUpFeed People smugglers also greatly exaggerate the benefits of claiming asylum in Britain, so when migrants arrive, some feel resentful and angry even with what they do get.

@Binjaminuk @reformparty_uk One case was criticising police - something totally under the purview of political commentary - not harassing the Nowak family. The other was harassing someone not involved in politics, therefore none of Sky News' business. Total non-equivalence.

@antiprotests @ZiaYusufUK And you are plainly lacking reasoning skills.

[authentic8info @authentic8info]

@NeteFela @GBNEWS Yes, violent religious dictatorships will have that effect on devotees (while non-devotees are imprisoned & executed). But democracies will result in bad leaders being criticised/mocked and replaced but everyone usually gets to carry on living free and in relative good health.

@antiprotests @ZiaYusufUK Cop assaults white guy for no reason as he was getting up off the ground and showing no signs of violent intent & without identifying herself as a cop. Guy reacts understandably after prior being assaulted by group, not knowing who the cop (wearing all black in the night) was.

@WhiteHouse "mutually agreed" - the USA has to agree to the terms which will be defined over the 60 days. If it doesn't agree and the terms are not set, or met by Iran, then they don't pay anything.

@Starlink @MovistarVe @DigitelAyuda @movilnet_ve Please also make a Tesla/SpaceX phone, with an alternative to Google Play Store/Services, as Google is about to start controlling what we can and cannot put on our Android devices. https://t.co/2Fsrj7su5u

@myownwinters @GoodwinMJ There was no "vow" to put in prison. Lowe was reported to police for investigation into threats of violence. Police would have decided if a case to charge, CPS whether to prosecute, a judge would have decided on sentencing which would have been a fine & community order, if any.

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

In yet another Orwellian move, the Government announced in a green paper this week that it wants to decide what news people can and cannot see, with plans to push approved outlets to the top of social media feeds.

Ministers should not be deciding which news sources the public read — especially in an era when three-quarters of under-25s say they get their news from social media.

As written in The Times, “In a state-sponsored ­regime in which inconvenient news was pushed out of view, would the grooming gangs scandal or the excesses of transgender ideology ever have come to light? You shouldn’t choose to trust ­everything you read online; but you shouldn’t trust the state to make the choice for you, either”.

This is dystopian.

This week I spoke in the Lib Dem debate in the Lords on foreign interference and dis/misinformation. Not sure they were too happy when I traced back the weaponisation of these concepts to 2016, when they were used to explain away and discredit Brexit voters. The elite war on misinformation is now being turbo-charged as panic sets in to contain a turbulent public who won't just acquiesce to PR versions of policies or be bullied by name-calling.
