oh yeah, that's right

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 74 points 1 year ago

Ah yes the Atlantic Council, wasn't epstein on their board of directors or something like that?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 65 points 1 year ago

Atlantic Council is a documented CIA cutout, but I think Epstein was involved with the Council on Foreign Relations

It's been said a million times before here and I'm going to say it again:

Americans are the most propagandized people on earth

lmfao holy shit

Listen I'm sure she's very impartial and-

“I know what it’s like to live under censorship,” [Ashooh] said. “My internal check, when I’m arguing for a restrictive policy on the site, is Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back.” On the other hand, she said, “people hide behind the notion that there’s a bright line between ideology and action, but some ideologies are inherently more violent than others.”

Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back

oh

some ideologies are inherently more violent than others

Pray tell which are those ideologies?

Now that we have amassed "300,000" IDF troops on the border of Gaza, we are shutting off the cameras. Have a nice day.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 121 points 1 year ago

Crazy, cause they didn't seem to mind the endless war porn during the Ukraine / Russia fight.

[-] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

I’ve been watching videos of Russians getting their small intestines blown out for months, but god forbid you host a video from the perspective of Hamas. Spineless bullshit decision on the part of Reddit.

that subreddit is fucking poison and pretty much every who posts there should be dragged into the street and redacted

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

become the very subjects of the videos they masturbate to

Wow I wonder why us-foreign-policy

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 95 points 1 year ago

whether they are combat related footage or not will no longer be allowed as per the Reddit Administration.

INCREDIBLE

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Jessica Ashooh of the Atlantic Council will be making the final decisions

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You crazy leftists, just because someone who worked at a CIA front for years and has literally no social media experience became the head of a social media mod team, that doesn't mean she's a plant or anything

Reddit purging all of those left leaning subs (and inactive right wing ones to appear 'centrist'), allowing a lot of wildly derogatory stuff about Russia after the invasion (and China in general), and now facilitating reddit-logo becoming the IDF's #1 fan is all coincidence

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

Wow it's even worse than in my post title

Reddit Administration

Reddit regime

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 90 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That sub should be shutdown yesterday

But until it is... how is Hamas not military?

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 94 points 1 year ago

Because they don’t believe Palestine is a legitimate state

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 69 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

cia spooks run reddit

no, seriously

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 84 points 1 year ago

Love reddit style activism, just shut down the bad thing done by the bad country. I'm sure not being able to share gore porn from Hamas is going to be the key to isn'treal's victory.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 81 points 1 year ago

the point isn't to help them do the genocide, it's to help them do the genocide with the cameras off

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 67 points 1 year ago

Post a fucking screenshot. I'm not login in there.

[-] ksynwa_from_lemmygrad@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago

The message from admins to the sub mods:

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

What instance are you using? Libreddit doesn't work for me

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

Libreddit

This is one of those redundant phrases like ATM Machine.

[-] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Libreddit is a third-party web interface for Reddit. Basically serves the same purpose as Nitter for Twitter.

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Libreddit? Yeah it sure is

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 59 points 1 year ago

Surprised the comments were against this until they started saying why

Hamas openly and gleefully shows off what best could be called war crimes and at worst genocide in their videos. By suppressing these videos that is going to give more people a sanitized view of what is going on.

Reason: "not to glorify any terrorist group." This is a slippery slope. Plenty think Israelis are the terrorists. How is anyone supposed to be enlightened to the nature of the actual terrorists, Hamas, when what they are doing is censored? It's almost as if the Admin are Hamas apologists and only want the scenes produced by the Israeli forces to be seen. Great way to bias.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

They really are going to use "Genocide" for any type of violent conflict.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

sorry sweaty if you're not white then fighting against ethnic cleansing is genocide now so-true

what the fuck i love the reddit admins now

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Whoever wrote that sentence should die painfully

Oh hamas is doing genocide are they? ARE THEY??

[-] PosadistInevitablity@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago

Maintaining the aura of Israeli invincibility is 100% key to that settler colonial project.

This makes perfect sense.

[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

Also maintaining the aura of Israeli righteousness. By banning this they are basically claiming this footage is illegitimate or complicit with criminal activity.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Ironically the thing that kind of got me questioning the narrative around ukraiane is how there was never a video from the Russian perspective and it seemed hard to believe that it was actually that one sided of a fight that there wasn't some random videos of successful attacks or defenses by Russia.

Then when you start applying that same lens of framing to everything else it was a lot less surprising to me than the libs of reddit that the counter offensive wasn't literally just ukranine skipping into Russia while handing out flowers.

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago
[-] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

I loooove one of the comment is like "I've seen footage of Russians collecting their intestines on here, but Palestinian footage is too much". Which has so much wrong with it.

I saw one video of a kid pulled out of the rubble of a Syrian building in Damascus wailing for their parents and I cried and had a nightmare days later. I haven't actively sought out combat footage in years.

[-] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

Well if you actually watch those yourself you might not do it right, or you might see videos where the dead were IDF. Better to just let people convince each other of what's in them instead.

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago

Disgusting.

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Still using Reddit?!
