Isn't the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.?
Yeah that's why reasonable instances defederate from lemmygrad & co.
I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.
That's not how it works. The average person is dumb as fuck and they need to be protected against disinfo. Also RT is not just "owned by a foreign state", it is 100% state controlled propaganda, that is deliberately spread in the west to influence the public opinion.
Also, as an educated person myself I do not want to skip through 10 websites run by the Kremlin until I find a good result.
Why don't we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it?
I am all in for that! As far as I know Fox is not run by the white house though, but I am not from the US so I am not sure.
As long as there is not a good alternative for corporate search engine as in similar to the fediverse, we have to work with what we have.
To be honest, I absolutely agree with them. I read the whole article and I do not see what is wrong with these statements? Russia is flooding the web with disinformation, we need to do something against that. Fuck the conservatives, Fuck Russia in particular, Slava Ukraini!
Weinberg’s tweet announcing the change generated thousands of comments, many of them from conservative-leaning users who were furious that the company they turned to in order to get away from perceived Big Tech censorship was now the one doing the censoring. It didn’t help that the content DuckDuckGo was demoting and calling disinformation was Russian state media, whose side some in the right-wing contingent of DuckDuckGo’s users were firmly on.
DuckDuckGo spokesperson Kamyl Bazbaz told Recode that the decision was simply about doing what a search engine is supposed to do: ensure that users were getting the best results for their searches.
“Sites like RT and Sputnik that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that purpose,” Bazbaz said
I am fighting with myself for a longer time now if I should buy it. I read it gets repetitive very fast and there is no feeling of progression, as factories build for one shape are useless for the next shape. Maybe someone can share their experience with the game? I don't expect Factorio, but will it get boring?
Absolutely! Especially because the map is always broken on my phone, I want to move the area and end up somewhere hundreds of kilometers away. I guess it's time for a new search engine...
Bypass Paywall Clean was the defacto standard for bypassing paywall until it got taken down. It can reliably bypass the paywalls of hundreds of different international news agencies. If you can achieve that with a UBlock script I will be very happy if you could share it.
I am using it. I found it very suspicious it is hosted on a Russian website at first. However because of copyright violations the author couldn't leave the extension on a server the US/EU can access.
The extension clearly states which websites it is accessing and you can look through the whole list. I did that a while ago and found nothing suspicious. I trust the author, but you can never know for sure.
I just checked your post history, it's crazy how your posts are getting mass downvoted. Keep up the good work my man!
