"The number beats the previous record of 104 satellites carried aloft by an Indian vehicle in 2017" Does this vehicle not have a name? Or is the reporter too lazy to look it up? BBC never fails when it comes to its Anti-India stan

So because you were not compensated properly you decided to screw the users of your company who had nothing to do with you being compensated less. You act like you are some kind of martyr but you are the sole person responsible for the huma

Thank you for speaking out in this charged climate. You could have chosen to keep silent but you chose not to. So thank you.

> Perhaps in these specific cases, they are justified Not justified at all. Nothing can justify censoring a sitting President and destroying a small competitor. America is on the wrong path. This I say as a observer of American politics.

Exactly. Thanks for getting my point. Let us assume that the entire US Capitol plot was hatched in Parler. Even then that is just 1 transgression. Compare it to the history of social media enabling violence and that list runs into hundreds

WhatsApp won't be able to do anything about it. Even with publishing full page ads. It is just a big waste of money. I have had so many of my relatives and friends move to Signal already. Big Tech companies haven't yet understood

Why stop there? I'll add more to the list of Parler transgressions: 1. They live streamed NZ Mosque Shooter. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/444349-christchurch-shoote... 2. They helped ISIS in propagating terro

It's not just as simple as you make it sound. What this Censorship has done is conveyed to the World that American Government cannot be trusted. That America has 2 power centers not 1. The two power centers being American Government an

That boat has long sailed once Big Tech banned Parler and everyone cheered it. America is no longer a country where free speech is paramount. Atleast in other democratic countries Censorship happens through the elected Government. As a citi

> encourage competition through enforcing open standards Big Tech destroyed this hope the moment it banned Parler and everyone cheered this ideological censorship. Big Tech crossed every line in launching a coordinated attack on a rival.

I haven't seen a bigger bunch of hypocrites! Lost all respect for US after seeing how it embraced Censorship as a way to resolve issues. America the "land of the free". Yeah right!

I don't find his policies extremist. On the contrary I feel he did more for minority upliftment than any other US President in modern times. I have always supported Trump over here when no one was coming out in his support. Got down vo

Exactly! We were told that we are going to experience fascism for 4 years. In all of these 4 years the press was given so much freedom to say whatever it wants and publish whatever it wants on a sitting US President. I don't think Puti

I can't count the number of times Twitter and Facebook have been used for hatching/plotting terror attacks. No one banned these social media giants for failure to police their own sites. Was Facebook banned after the NZ Mosque sho

If it is an extremist thought it is better to know who is saying what than cutting off communication completely and hoping the problem goes away. But this has to go along with society coming together and addressing the problem firsthand. Is

All Big Tech censorship related posts have been pushed to the 4th page on Hacker News. Even if it has more upvotes than many items on the front page. Even Hacker News is in on this censorship.

This is the exact thing a fascist would say. A liberal would never say this. If you want to censor someone's speech just because you don't agree with them, congratulations you are already a fascist.

Exactly right. There are already properly defined rules and regulations in the Constitution of every country. These rules and regulations have been implemented by elected representatives of the people of those countries. If there is anythin

You aren't getting it. Free speech and subsequent limitations of such free speech must and must be decided by elected representatives. Not by private companies. In this case Germany has every damn right to frame such laws. They are a S

If the speech is illegal then they can moderate it. Who defined it as illegal? The elected Government of the people right? No one voted for Jack Dorsey or Mark Zuckerberg. People voted for their own elected representatives who make the laws

And it is even more infuriating when it is the first amendment of the United States of America that is quoted as a definition for free speech. What free speech means in America is not the same as what free speech means in a European, Africa

Censorship is going to be the future. As long as Big Tech is dominated by leftist culture you'll have censorship. No two ways about it. Ideological censorship has been going on for years now. It just has reached its peak and has now be
