@benb It's because the West is not pressuring #Vucic at all. A few of his minions are sanctioned, but who cares? EU still gives money to #Serbia, which his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) uses to pay its own hooligans and criminal lords. His hold on the economy is near absolute. He has complete control over the criminal section of the economy.
End yet... EU consistently supports hid campaing, since 2011... EU does not want Vucic to go. They wan't him to keep Serbia "stable" - aka repressed.
Israeli police beat up a Palestinian man and seared a religious symbol on his face. 16 police officers with 16 body cams - all conveniently 'malfunctioned'.
The BBC creates news stories in more than 40 languages. So earlier this year we built a prototype to help keep track of them. https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/projects/mat/
Not a surprise to see some of this starting to happen. It actually makes sense for corporate entities to start their own instances of #Mastodon for sharing out information and building a network of followers that can't be capriciously switched off when some billionaire decides they no longer like you. 👏
Good on you @BBCRD Now how about a #PeerTube instance for your online video presence? I know a guy, if you're interested... 💙
@rainynight65@tilvids Tilvids is not your classic Peertube instance. Rather, its more like (free) Nebula - high quality educational material. I find it quite usefull for Linux-related stuff.
