It's already happened on reddit, various Gaza subreddits are age gated. Anything NSFW is age gated, not just porn but things from Alcoholic Anonymous to chairs Not Fully Submerged in Water on r/chairsunderwater. XBox Live is age gated, because apparently this wasn't about preventing kids from seeing porn like they originally said but it's now about preventing children from talking to adults.
However I don't think it's to do with Palestine Action specifically. That's a separate thing, where an organisation that posed a not-insignificant military threat was dealt with in a clunky way using terrorism laws (which cover threats to civilians). I don't consider those in charge to be clever enough to set all that up in that way; rather, they'd already planned to use the Online Safety Act in this way and would have blocked anything they deemed controversial regardless.
Depressing to see mass censorship yet again being dressed up as "protecting kids". Regarding Palestine Action those in charge were heavily lobbied by organizations such as "We Believe in Israel" and other Zionist groups to use terror legislation on non violent protestors that are an inconvenience to the war machine.
This is an insane take which requires significant proof. You have any or talking out your racist ass? I'm sorry the group that's not being persecuted isnt doing enough for Palestine when it's Europe and America who alone fund the Israeli genocide. Jesus Christ what an lack of critical thinking
I'm not going to engage with you. Grow the fuck up.
Are you not engaging with them because they insulted you or because you don't actually have anything to back up that ridiculous "hot take"? Since I haven't insulted you (yet), you can reply to me instead, providing any evidence you think you have that supports such an out-there claim as "many of their actions have seemed to do little to affect Israel's war but instead hinder Ukraine." Because I'm genuinely curious to hear if this is a narrative being pushed. For now, we can even let alone the even more absurd part about Palestine Action being "lobbied or infiltrated" by Russian boogeymen.
You're a part of the same brigade.
lol, "brigade"? What do you think a "brigade" is? When a person sees a post in their feed and clicks on it? Because that's the only "brigading" I partook in. Even with all that aside, you still couldn't tell a single person in this so-called "brigade" what the fuck you're even talking about. Your refusal to explain your bullshit take has nothing to do with who you're talking to, it is entirely because you did just pull it out of your ass with absolutely nothing substantial to back it up but are too chickenshit to admit that fact.
I observe that you have removed your comment. Care to elaborate what it said?
for me it says that a mod removed it
Why you delete your comments then coward? Telling me to grow up when your throwing ignorant shit out there like a edgy little 16 year high schooler. Learn some humanity, since your clearly lacking it
That's silly. You could at least parrot the official Zionist propaganda that they're being funded by Iran.
