Nice. So South Africa 1984.

We were the only country in the world where it was illegal to report South African military action in Angola.

Actions of a government at war with its own supporters’ interests.

The ideal of WikiPedia: to reflect the totality of human knowledge. Why do you find that challenging?

At least it doesn’t amplify far-right racist misogynist bias, which this site does – not least because the owner amplifies such views.

Tell me this platform isn’t biased, not just by what Elon Musk amplifies.

What I see trending – yet what is at the top of my feed? Pro- garbage. From people I don’t follow.

Tell my this platform does not have a built-in far-right bias (not only from the owner amplifying this garbage).

I woke up to a flood of far-right and pro-Trump (sort of indistinguishable) garbage.

Is that all there is over here?
