crikey, that article isn't very well researched is it?

He pointed to Frederick Brennan, the creator of 8chan who called for that site to be taken offline after it played a role in mass shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, and El Paso

errr, nope

It’s a propaganda piece, I’m embarrassed for the Washington Post.

KF is currently on the clearnet - at least it was yesterday when I last looked

It's just so lazy. And so short sighted. Depressing.

[NicCageisnotNickCave]

yep.

It’s the same old farms just at .st instead of .net

Whether or not I disagree with Singal on some issues he does see the bigger picture here: that allowing activists to censor speech, particularly through illegal means, and the emergence of activist-journalists are both terrible ideas.

I hope Jesse does expand that tweet thread into an article.

Jesse sometimes annoys me (arse splinters!) but he and Katie do seem to care about following a story wherever it actually goes, rather than setting their own narrative.

Proper journalism has been taken over by opinion writers* so I appreciate that Jesse tries to hold a journalist’s position, must be really hard in the current climate.

Also, I’ve really come enjoy Blocked & Reported lately.




*I wonder if this is an unintended effect of the way we consume websites/apps? Just a few short years ago the opinion writers were obvious due to their position in the printed paper/magazine supplement and the difference in layout (eg with a writer portrait in the header)

"He also could show how Kiwi Farms users migrated to Discord servers, where they were more explicit about planning attacks. " So... why is no one going after Discord and trying to get it shut down? Apparently that's where 'attacks' were being planned.

It all just repetition of lies and bullshit... I'm so tired y'all.
