wyoh··on Firefox vs. Chromium security in 2022, how true is it still today?

Citation needed.

> even little girls can't be allowed into school if they display signs of muslim worship

I don't see how that's racist. No religious symbol are allowed in school, even christian cross are banned.

> many people who reside in France are denied citizenship

Why would residing in a country grant you citizenship?

wyoh··on France moves to shield its book industry from Amazon

wyoh··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
Look for actual polls, the belief that HCQ works and masks don't are in minority among Republicans, same with most of them having never heard of Qanon, the proud Boys or the boogaloo (which is more a meme than what was depicted in msm) These positions are inflated by the MSM to make right wingers look like crazy lunatics.

wyoh··on Additional steps we're taking ahead of the 2020 US Election
Not elected people, not respecting the most basic of constitutional principles. Not only that, but you can't enforce your "set of principles" on billion of tweets each hour of the day, not by people at least, so you defer to bots, which are incapable of discerning what is free speech. They can't apply your principles with the discernment of a human, they can't enforce what's legal or illegal, like they can't recognize copyrighted music from public domains ones.
