🚨Might be a waste of time posting this, but I'mma do it anyway. Long post incoming.
The internet is our Library of Alexandria.
The internet as we've been using it up to this point has been relatively free to use in terms of what you could do, with very few limitations.
Instant communication around the world, being able to speak with other languages in a back and forth dialogue, content making and sharing, shopping, gaming, information gathering and sharing, a place to learn and so on.
You have the freedom and ability to speak your mind on something and a chance for that something to be seen and heard INSTANTLY.
Should the powers that be decide to change the rules, things as we have now will never be the same.
The list:
-Speaking to someone outside of your country without proper clearance, like a digital passport. Something you will likely have to pay for, should it ever happen.
-Slowed communications. No longer instant for whatever arbitrary reason they decide to give.
-Country gates. You may not even be allowed to visit certain websites outside your country's jurisdiction, without said digital passport.
-Paying for time spent on foreign websites, like long distance calls used to cost money.
-Content making and gathering. If you make something that they deem unsafe, even if it's not, you are subject to their laws—This includes speaking out against an injustice. Or criticizing your government.
-Information gathering, sharing, learning. You may not be allowed easy access to information as you do now.
To wrap it all up. Some of these things sound absurd and you'd be right to say so. But all they have to do is decide that they want more control and we have to live with it.
If you think you are safe because you don't do anything "bad", all they have to do is change what that means and suddenly you're in trouble.
to all the service workers still wearing masks in the face of this never ending pandemic, i see/appreciate you for doing what you can to protect yourselves and community despite your efforts not being reciprocated by the masses nor those who claim to be about worker’s rights.

Friendly reminder that in 1600 the Huaynaputina volcano located near Arequipa, Peru had a VE6 eruption (Pinatubo 1991/Krakatoa 1883 level) that may have caused the 1606-1612 North American drought that killed 2/3 of the first wave of British colonists in Jamestown.
La región más azotada por el terrorismo desmoronando la narrativa limeña de q todo lo q no es Keiko en segunda vuelta es terrorismo o tiene aliados con SL, Movadef, etc. Allá los q se tragaron el cuento, pero los q la vivieron saben qn es el enemigo de la patria. Bien, Ayacucho.
Para mí, el momento en el que decidí nunca votar por Fujimoris fue cuando el Servicio de Inteligencia perpetró un atentado terrorista contra el Banco de la Nación el 28 de julio del 2000.
Tenía 13 años y mi papá puso Cable Mágico para informarnos con el único medio televisivo independiente y vimos en vivo a Fujimori y Montensinos volar con bombas la sede del BN y matar seis vigilantes para seguir gobernando en base al miedo y la mentira.
Esta invitación de Raúl Diez Canseco a Keiko a visitar a los alumnos de USIL en sus aulas es de lo más antietico. Raul puede opinar libremente lo que quiera pero no obligar a sus alumnos a escuchar a su candidata preferida.
que alucinante sería que las naciones quechuas y aymaras puedan acceder a servicios similares a los que acceden los catalanes en españa. una educación trilingüe que proteja el quechua/aymara y además les enseñe inglés y español
El papa, peruano como uno, ya lo dijo en la encíclica que publicó esta semana: “hay conflictos en los que no es justo permanecer neutrales y no basta pensar en “no ser cómplices””
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
Francke pegando exactamente donde hay que pegar: recordando que el fujimorismo lleva años gobernando desde el congreso y que no hay nada peor para la economía que la inestabilidad que ellos generan y fomentan
Peruvian journalist Geraldine Santos is only 30 years old, and she is already preparing for her funeral because she has received so many threats while reporting on cocaine trafficking and environmental crimes in the Amazon jungle. https://t.co/1CjqQJ2U5I
