"Signal is being blocked in Venezuela and Russia. The app is a popular choice for encrypted messaging and people trying to avoid government censorship, and the blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries..."

Yeah. Telegram, should be next, there's a huge risk with it too. And email! Social networks too, just in case. And postal mail, we can't forget that. We should crack down any form of uncensored communication.

All for the benefit of the people, of course. \s

In UK don't ban them, but jail you if they don't like your posts, more democratic.

I'm not aware of the kingdom of whataboutistan. Is it related to this post somehow?

[-] Novman@feddit.it 8 points 3 months ago

Yes, different kind of censorship in the world. A more broad vision.

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee -2 points 3 months ago

Keep going, then. Any other country to mention, seeing how it's important to you? Russia? China? Italy? India? Pakistan?

I somehow feel your "broad" is actually quite narrow. Usually happens with the whatabautisms

Why going so long when we have a near, english-speaking , clean example of a country famous for the free speech. If you have the highest example of human rights why check the rest.

So much from broadening... As soon as I mention any other suddenly there's no point checking other countries.
