As a white Dutchman I once got randomly picked out of a line by the TSA at Boston airport. I didn't go through a fraction of what this lady went through, but just being separated, harassed and fully dominated for no reason at all was scary enough. I can't imagine the things that happen to PoC.

From across the Atlantic I say: you’re as right as can be and it’s shocking how blatant and utterly shameless it is. These guys are clearly not there for all Americans and they’re not pretending they are. Sending you strength, courage and wisdom ♥️

His choice of words was a textbook example of Orwellian Newspeak while his tone-of-voice made it sound like he was talking about a cool new UI update. I also really didn’t like the sneer at Europe. Ominous.

Yep, ik ook. Het moment is hier.

Ah thanks, so as I've understood it, they've basically concluded that if one group shares more misinformation than another, it would naturally face more sanctions, even under neutral rules, which makes sense. It's like a school bully lamenting on why they're always picked on by the teachers.

There's another transatlantic difference for now which is that these new 'free speech measures' are only applying to the US ... at least for now, due to EU regulations.

Since we're deeply connected across the Atlantic though, of course the difference will be felt by all.

Ik kan me nog herinneren dat zoiets als dit wereldnieuws was.
