Not sure what category to put this in so be free to move or delete if not suited for this forum.
Looking at what is happening right now I can not unsee 1984 going live today... Tech giants gave themselves right to decide what we will see, read or hear and in same time deleting and banning other apps and sources which don't follow their "truth". It is not open for debate or checking of evidence their "ministry of truth" has decided for us what is true and what is not.
I just want to make clear this what I write I not about Trump (do not want discussion to go in that direction, but he was catalyst that lead to today events) - it is about free speech and access to different sources of information and opinions and deleting and blocking everything that doesn't suit their narrative and what they want us to think and know. It has happened before and we are discussing it as false history on this forum and it is happening now live - current events are tomorrows history...
We may not like or agree with someone and their views but to silence them and erasing them leads only to question - who is next and who decides for us what is truth?
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
