My wife had dinner with a friend. Her friend asked her if she’d seen any of her recent posts on Facebook. My wife hadn’t. She can’t see anything after Jan 8. Her friend was critical of Trump. You can see her account. She hasn’t been banned. She’s been silenced. You can’t friend her.
This is what’s happening there since early January. Crickets from the media, as she’s surely not alone.
Get rid of Fascistbook.

#Doxxed, #harassed, and #silenced: The fallout of #Gamergate 2.0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk-dhs6W69o
#stalking is a global issue, which mostly affects women as well as other social #minorities, and about which we need a lot more #education for everyone. Far too often, it is not recognized as such, most notably by institutions which still struggle to understand both offline and online #harassment, as this kind of behavior is still blamed on victims who are requested to ignore it and "not feed the troll".

You play as Erin, a high school graduate, who goes to an abandoned elementary school to find her lost journal.

#COP29: This year's big action at the climate conference feels different. Civil society & #IndigenousPeoples are not allowed to chant, walk or clap. And yet, here we are together in solidarity and strength, demanding #ClimateJustice & respect for all #HumanRights. #Silenced!

Ben & Jerry's is back in court again, and this time it's #suing its parent company #Unilever over accusations that it silenced the #IceCream maker's attempts to express support for a #ceasefire in #Gaza and support #Palestinian #refugees.

In a #lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Ben & Jerry's said Unilever breached the terms of a previous agreement that gave the ice cream company responsibility over its "social mission".

Despite this, Ben & Jerry's said it was #silenced four separate times when it tried calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, advocating for halting US military aid to #Israel, supporting university #students #protesting against Israel's war on Gaza, and supporting the safe passage of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the UK.

#Protests are being ignored, #voices #silenced so #activists felt they must do more to be #heard.
I don't agree with all their #methods but I understand.
Sentences were insane & will drive #fury
#Media must report & not #censor.

#Germany has banned a humanitarian doctor returning from the war zone in #Gaza where he stayed 43 days in Shifa and Ali hospitals, from attending a conference in which he was invited to testify.

Germany threatened him with prison even if he tried to give his conference via social networks (Zoom FaceTime) from the outside.

Levi [Florida US]
asking for support by signature.
at Avaaz.

"Climate emergency: Stop silencing youth!"

To US President Biden:
As global citizens, we urgently call on you to let the Juliana v. United States case proceed to trial without any further delays or obstructions from the US Department of Justice. You’ve said that you support youth and want to address the climate crisis, but your government is abusing emergency powers in an unprecedented attempt to rip this case out of the normal legal process. These 21 brave youth plaintiffs deserve to have their stories heard in front of a trial judge. Let them go to court!

They sue young, lately ! [JdeB]

My name is Levi. I grew up playing in the waves on a small island off the coast of Florida. It was paradise -- until floods almost destroyed my home. Hit by storm after storm, my family was forced to flee far from the ocean that raised me.

Now I’m proud to say my friends and I are suing the biggest polluter in the world: the United States. People call it the lawsuit of the century because it could help save us from planet-wrecking climate chaos.

But the US Department of Justice is doing everything they can to kill our case, and in just a few weeks we might lose our last chance to go to trial and tell our stories in court! They know we can win, and finally hold them accountable for putting our futures in danger.

President Biden is the only person who can stop the government from coming after us, but he doesn’t feel enough global public pressure to step in. So add your name now to tell Biden: let us have our day in court!

With the many #political / #social stressors currently happening, I am seeing community members acting increasingly tribal over differences of #opinion.

Please take a moment and consider what you are saying, before you publish that #toot.

In one thread, "pretend to be blue", in another "not really a progressive", a third "remember 2016, when russian bots infiltrated…"

These statements #dehumanize other accounts, allowing them to be #silenced, #attacked, #othered.

Be self-honest.

@xdydx

Present credible evidence that people are being #silenced in #US, #Germany, #UK, and possibly elsewhere before foaming at the mouth

The one exception to this is in Part I of my series on emerging #InternationalDynamics https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111393318310698285

In that series, I clearly linked to story how #India banned protests that support #Palestinians

Without credible evidence, you are just spouting #Hamas propaganda, notwithstanding any agreements you and I may have on other issues
