This is why we need a free and open internet without central controls.
I think what we need is governments that don’t kill someone over something he says first.
You have been banned from c/Conservative.
Hahaha
There will always be people in power who use that power to stay in power, its the human condition. The best thing we can do is build systems to help people have free expression that can’t be censored.
How would that stop this specific situation at all? The guy wasn’t censored from tweeting, he’s sentenced to death because he tweeted.
We get to talk about it, we are aware of it, we can work together as a community to appeal the government, apply sanctions, etc.
This man is being punished for speech, ensuring speech is available to everyone is the least we can do going forward.
And of course that’s important, but your first comment seemed to imply that uncensored internet would have prevented this
“Sad this guy is being murdered, but what we really should be talking about is the cause I’m interested in.”
reported
What did you report me for? I’m genuinely curious
What does a moderator do?
We know what mods do, what do you think a moderator do?
Censors disruptive users. According to their personal definition of disruptive.

This is exactly why TOR was created, we can’t legislate people safe world wide, but we can give them a voice and a means to communicate.
End to End Encryption is necessary.
People who are free to create systems without danger should do so to help those who are in danger.
Technically, we could say if the internet was extremely censored and blocked any access to Twitter or VPNs, he wouldn’t be sentenced to death for that reason (but probably killed for another bullshit reason)

decentralized internet cannot work
You heard it here first, folks! Right here in the Fediverse! Let’s go ahead and turn these servers off now, I guess.
You couldn’t have read like two sentences forward from that? Or do you always post before you read something?
Oh, I read the whole thing and I regretted it. I realized I could have just stopped right there at the beginning.
Thank you for putting words into my mouth. That is not what I was trying to say. There will always be bad actors, we have to make people resilient to bad actors.
The internet, at is core, is designed to be decentralized and work even when huge portions are taken out. Distributed and partionable.
Also your posting on Lemmy part of the fediverse, which is also decentralized and without central control.
And unicorns too now that we’re dreaming
I can’t build a unicorn. But i can help build a free and open internet.
Like governments would let you
You realize your on a open decentralized platform without central controls right now?
No, they clearly didn’t read the Fediverse introduction some instances have during sign up!
It still relies on government infrastructure. If a government really wants, it can tell its CERT to block some IP range and probably protocols too. If you can block for example torrent at university campus, you can also block it on a country level.
I remember hearing around the time of Occupy Wall Street about a guy that wanted to create a fully civil network. Everyone wanting to be a part of it would set up a wi-fi node in their home. It seems the idea did not get traction, though

In other news, new KSA national trainer Mancini to be the best paid football coach at 30 million a year. I’m sure he’s having sleepless nights after hearing this news together with Ronaldo, Neymar & co.
This is the country your government sends weapons to
I don’t have a solution for this catastrophic injustice all over the world, but we - as in we humans - have to chlose down these inhumane shadows like north Korea or other nations killing people for expressing their opinion. That has to stop. We have to go the way to overcome that concept of closed nations completely, we’re all on an insignificant pebble in the dark & mankind has to grow up at last, from the ego-driven toddler at least to a plagued teenager iykwim.
I don’t have a solution for this catastrophic injustice all over the world
I sure do, but I’m not about to get put on a watchlist for suggesting it.
A barbaric nation with devilish monarchy that other nations support just because of their oil money. Anybody whose government supports them should feel ashamed.
Horrible. And this is a country that wants to be seen as anything but a pariah.
Barbarians. The world must treat them like it and shame them and their children until this stops.
Truly astonishing.
The “government” of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC countries’ end is coming. When they run out of oil or when oil loses demand, the same immigrants (institutionalized slaves) will revolt for equality and revolution will pursue
