    I am not seeing any movements by governments that would “restore some freedom for individuals”, anywhere in the world. All I am seeing is censorship.

      yes. they’re “censoring” algorithms designed to create engagement=profit, which are causing massive harm to society. i don’t see anything wrong with it at all. and like you, i’m on the fediverse because there isn’t an algorithm, our exposure is curated by us, not by engagement-bot-5.

      Speaking for myself ofcourse but I am glad the EU has regulations for the use of personal data for targeting consumers, voters and for example patients.

      You might translate this as “censorship” but I think of it as “responsible use”.

      Over the past years (and certainly in the case of Xitter) it has become blatantly clear that people like Musk wipe their #ss with responsibility.

      This is not necessarily true, while they are censoring people from spreading hate speach they would like they are protecting people who other wise wouldn’t be able to live a somewhat ok life.

      If you’re not critising minorities, or spreading false information typically you would be fine. You can still talk about say capitalism, or even socialism in a bad light (freedom of speech) but you can’t just have freedom to just bully and harass minorities.

      It’s not all about censorship just because, it’s to ensure everyone can safely spread their own speech and viewpoints.
