West should send a squad into Dubai to assassinate families of Chechen leadership.
UK keeping good company with UAE.
I think Netflix did block Russia right…
While i appreciate the decision taken , from my (olden days of downloading pirated stuff) , I think most of those software pirates were either Russian or Ukranian (FWIW)…
So not sure how that’s really gonna affect the russian populace.
Russia back paddling for some “image” damage control
Has McDonald’s, Coke, Pepsi, or Nike pulled out yet? Big, big brands?
Because that is what a free speech absolutist does. Anything to defend the spreading of unfree speech.
I do believe there needs to be restrictions on freespeech (to cater for hate speech etc etc) , but free speech as such needs to be free (whether ppl agree with it or not is a different matter whatsoever)
I guess my point was that Russian state TV/media is the definition of unfree speech. Now even more than before.
I agree. The point is that we don’t fall down the same trap in restricting that unfree speech.
If we are doing the same things that they are , how does that make us better.
I agree with payment services etc being suspended btw.
I guess that’s the problem with absolutist positions. It’s a bit like that tolerance for intolerance debate.
This war is also being waged with false information, from the young Russian soldiers who knew absolutely nothing to Putin’s absurd fabrication of lies. Anyone who even publicly expresses doubts, or even uses the word war, will be imprisoned in Russia. Opinion in Russia is no longer free !! And it was always difficult, but we shouldn’t also support this hate and these lies and spread and feed them here.
