There’s a few posts with key words spaced like this, why?

100% agree. We are too soft on this.

Shadow banning

If it was a Pro Israel march Starmer would probably at the front leading them 🙄

What does that mean?

Shadow banning

Is this something from other sites and platforms?

Because it’s fine to post antisemitic or Israel / Iran on here. Nothing happens if you post those words.

Yes, you said, but what do you mean?

You didn't reply so Google says

"Shadow banning (or stealth banning) is the covert practice used by social media platforms and online forums to restrict or hide a user's content from others—making it invisible to the public—without notifying the user. The user can still post, but their engagement (likes, comments, reach) drops significantly.
Key Aspects of Shadow Banning:
Invisible Penalties: The user usually does not know they have been restricted, as their content remains visible to themselves, creating the illusion of normal activity.
Purpose: It is used to curb spammers, trolls, bots, or users violating community guidelines without prompting them to create a new account immediately.
Common Signs: A sudden, significant drop in reach, engagement, or followers; posts not appearing in hashtags, search results, or the Explore page.
Platform Specifics: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok may limit content from being recommended to non-followers if it violates community guidelines. On X (formerly Twitter), it can be triggered by "low tweet credit" or violating sensitivity policies.
Duration: Shadow bans are not usually permanent and can last from a few days to several weeks.
Common reasons for being shadow-banned include using banned hashtags, posting spam, aggressive automation, or posting controversial content that violates platform rules. "

I haven't noticed any of these things on here.

Officers on the ground will act decisively and be briefed on placards, flags and chanting that will cross the line into hate crime or support of a proscribed organisation,” said Ade Adelekan, a Metropolitan police deputy assistant commissioner and lead on public order.

“As set out previously, we will also take action where we see chants calling for intifada. We know these words have consequences.”

The high court ruled last month that the government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action was unlawful. However, it remains banned pending an appeal by the Home Office.

Intifada means uprising or resistance in Arabic, but some Jewish groups say it has come to be regarded as a call for violence against those of their faith.

(Islamic Human Rights Commission.) The IHRC recently condemned the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and said he “resisted oppression and stood on the right side of history”.

I think the poster is picking up from other places but that spacing is unnecessary on here.

Thank you.

I had no idea what they meant and haven't encountered that here.

I wonder if the pro Iranian regime supporters appearing now are his the pro pallys with different flags? As long as you are supporting a Bromwich wishes to massacre Jews who cares really? Cluster bombs over Tel Aviv seem not to enter their consciousness much like October 7th.

I think we are all really sick of this now especially when it's obvious Jewish groups are being targeted in the west.

I think they should be allowed and should be televised. So many people I know have realised the marches for Iran are marches supporting terrorists. The same people are now questioning Palestine marches and have realised how Anti Semitism is rife.

So yes they should be allowed as people are now researching Iranian history and realising how many regime supporters live here.

I can only assume the regime supporters would like women of Britain to be oppressed too.

So yes let them continue airing their views.

I do wonder if the visibility of support for terrorism is why they are being banned. So many people are now asking why we have so many terrorist supporters and anti westerners living here (I mean foreigners and British people who are mourning and campaigning for the regime).

What do these people actually want for Britain? Would they like a regime like what Iran have had for the past 46 years?

There are many people here who hate our way of life.

I have Iranian friends and their family in Iran are praying for change. Yet here people are praying for a tyrant.

I wonder if some of this is an admiration of the Iranian regime as it has imposed strict Islamic values on a populace and in a weird way they feel this is somehow admirable and how a true Islamic state should operate.

I agree there are many in the UK who would wish to see women subjugated and view our lives as decadent despite being quite happy to live here. Completely different value set and we shouldn't be afraid to say so.

What I don't really understand is why so many appear supportive of the Iranian regime on Mumsnet - a site predominantly aimed at women.

Most deny it and say it's more about disagreeing with the war, but the content of their posts suggests otherwise. Very uncritical of how the regime behaved before the war and no mention of what they did to their own citizens (murdering them) earlier this year. They were silent on that but vocal once again when it comes to criticising the actions of the US & Israel in the war.

Hard not to conclude that they are more sympathetic to the Iranian regime than to the US or Israel. Which is nuts to me, albeit Trump in particular says and does a lot to criticise. However, where's the balance?

The vocal left probably, mumsnet is quite left as a site.

My theory is that when viewing brave women risking their lives, throwing off hijabs, dancing on the streets etc in Iran. It hits hard on the identity of strict muslims. I really do believe that there are many who believe protestors in Iran are somehow impure Muslims and they would rather people be killed in police crackdowns than have people openly subvert various areas of their faith. As I said there are probably many Who admire Iran and its ability to impose religious structure on society and prevent the 'decadent ways' of the West that they see in the UK. Also the hatred of News and Israel outweighs any sympathy they may have for the oppressed of Iran.

Also it’s infuriating if Trump manages to get freedom to Iranian women. They’d prefer his failure to their success. Sadly.

Weird how the “left” has become so right wing they don’t criticise authoritarian regimes any more.

I used to be more left wing and always aligned with moderate leaders & policies.

Hated Maggie Thatcher as her views seemed so authoritarian & harsh. She wasn’t as extreme as the Islamic regime in Iran though! I’m sure back in the day nearly all the lefties would have agreed with loudly condemning them.

Yes it’s very obvious many want Trump to fail just so it reinforces they were right not to agree with the war.

Instead of thinking what success or even partial success could mean for oppressed people in Iran.

The means justifying the ends is not something most people will ever agree with. We just don’t support the idea that slaughtering people is ok especially when that slaughter includes whole primary schools in Iran or tens of thousands of children in Palestine. It’s nothing to do with being “left” or “right” and everything to do with being human not inhumane.
