Censorship
This war has ushered in a level, and magnitude, and intensity of a censorship regime
unprecedented in the West. - Glenn Greenwald, April 2022.
In most western countries, censorship is enforced by the large privately-owned
corporations which own social-media websites like Twitter and Facebook, and popular search
engines like Google. Websites which present unapproved facts or opinions are still reachable,
but most people will never find them because search engines will not rank their relevance
highly, while any links to them, or discussions referring to them, will be deleted. Paypal
is a powerful enforcer of censorship: sites which expose inconvenient facts, or opinion
contrary to the official line, are cut off from Paypal funding.
Within the European Union, however, news sources presenting news or comment
inconsistent with NATO propaganda are blocked by law. We can bring you headlines from Russia Today,
for example, but if your internet connection is in the EU you will not be able to go
directly to the linked articles. EU legislators are not competent in IT, and if you
are, you have various ways of getting to the banned sites wherever you are; but we
cannot take the legal risk of helping you.
