We have been through a lot of discussion on many issues in recent times.

One one Facebook group, my posts have been deleted I believe because the admins or AI hadn't liked some of my postings. I considered them to be quite reasonable. I feel now I wasn't going with a certain narrative and was essentially cut off.

It's very controlling in terms of debate and information going out the public. If anything it's very the Russian state in terms of media, discussion, debate and information.

I will no longer be debating issues with people on Facebook at all. It's taken time for me to realise, but if anything it's refreshing. We must debate things elsewhere to free ourselves from social media restrictions and those who want to control the agenda and our lives.

Hi Nathan,

I used Facebook for a short time only. I no longer do.

The prosecution of truth tellers in Russia is nothing new.
Dissent has always been silenced. Today the media is in
Putin's hands and he will not tolerate anything critical.
Apart from controlling the media the Russian government
has blocked Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Here in Australia we do have have choices. Although
the Murdoch media has a great deal of influence. How much?
The following link is an interesting read:

If Albanese the Trotsky's censorship Bill gets through, things on Facebook and other social media will be much worse. But, nobody seems to be very concerned about that, so it's tough titty for everybody using it. I don't. I can say everything I wish to say on ONLINE OPINION.

I should say that Morrison the Nothing had the same idea. It seems that Labor, Liberals and Greens are now firmly under the influence of global communism, and they should not get the votes of any freedom-loving Australian.

Both the Coalition and Labor had agreed earlier
that encouraging social media companies to be accountable
and have policies that would kick in only if posts could
cause "serious harm." For example inciting violence. Now
that Labor is in government the Coalition is attacking
Labor's bill (which they endorsed and would have passed
had they been re-elected). Now they're attacking not so
much the bill as Labor.

It's surely not a great loss to free speech to require
social media companies to have rules on posts that
encourage another Cronulla Riot, or for people to try
to cure COVID with bleach? Do we want a January 6th
insurrection?

In today's political landscape, just what is global communism?
In this democratic society the public vote for their leaders and you still have the dissenters claiming that either the voters are dumb and unenlightened.
Everyone knows that politicians are liars and compromisers so we all vote for what we think is the least damaging.
We don't have the best people as politicians, we vote for those that couldn't get a job.
As my father used to say, it's simply whether you want to get conned by an amateur or a professional, but you are going to get conned.
Albanese may eventually be a good prime minister, but at the moment is an amateur, only because he hasn't learn't how to use the power of office, so he goes out and buys submarines built in the UK for Australia.
This is the US payback to the UK for staying in line and do as it's told. The once great power in the world having been subjugated to lapdog status.
If we voted independent instead of party we would fare much better.
Every country has their Trumps it would seem and Australia is no different

Every country has their Trumps it would seem and Australia is no different.
Special Delivery,
Going by evidence, it's not so much the Trumps that is the common dilemma. Stupidity being encouraged & spread by education are the far more serious problem.
Brainless wonders demanding to be listened to rather than people who know. Elitism is at epidemic levels particularly in the Academic community & to rub salt into the wound, that group is probably the least contributor to revenue creation yet funding going to them is still at unsustainable levels. Being forced to keep supporting hat is what common folk are fed up with, that kind of Communism !
