"We write as journalists, artists, authors, activists, technologists, and academics to warn of increasing international #censorship that threatens to erode centuries-old democratic norms. [...]"
@publicvoit Using the term ‘mainstream media’ says it all — it often reveals the author’s political leanings and implies a monolithic media landscape that doesn’t actually exist.
@publicvoit People that call a law that forbids the denial of genocide as censorship are none that I want to pay attention. Also it's interesting what laws they don't mention: Americas states censor books in schools and libraries. German states censor Gender aware language in schools and even universities. Yes censorship is a growing problem, but these people seem to want to protect hate speech and disinformation rather than free speech and democracy.
