Al-Jazeera, taking a rare break from the incessant terrorist propaganda.
Oh the irony of readying that in Al Jazeera, a news network based in Qatar, a country where accessing porn OR using a VPN is illegal.
There will always be “good reasons” to “protect” citizens from “hate, misinformation and propaganda”.
We should be grateful that our leaders have their people’s mental wellbeing as a top priority!
Isn’t this a middle eastern news agency? Isn’t it ironic that they’d make this article? It’s downright fucking hilarious even
its less about censorship and more about control
something the countries where that news channel originates know all about
How easy is it to freely access porn in the country of Al Jazeera?
As an immigrant living in the UK I think it’s a fun experiment in trying to boost the birthrates.
Before the internet, when I was a kid in the 80s, you couldn’t just walk into a newsagent and buy a top shelf hardcore porn magazine at 9 years old.
Was that ‘censorship’ any different to this? They are not preventing people (adults) from viewing the stuff.
What the government has done here wont work anyway. People will and have found ways around it.
I hate the idea of an overbearing nanny state, but where are we going with the internet right now is not a good place. It’s a total, unaccountable swamp of hate and lies, perpetuated by anonymous ‘people’.
Is the idea that we just leave it that way, because it’s impossible to police libel, incitement to violence, racism, and campaigns by malicious/hostile state actors waging disinformation campaigns, or enforce age restrictions for porn etc if we don’t know who people are and make them accountable?
Honest question. And maybe the answer is simply, yes we just leave it the way it is.
I think this is just the testing ground, they want to see how far they can push it, for now it’s porn with the child safety excuse (altough all kind of sensitive content requires your ID, at least on X), the final objective, as we saw with chat control, is to read every message of every citizen without encryption. I think we live in a time where traditional media (radio, television, journals) keep losing grip on people while the internet keeps gaining it, this will be more evident as people get older and the generation of boomers tends to die. Billionares are losing the narration, they absolutely do not want the public discourse to focus on the class war, so they keep feeding us ai slop, they keep creating division and polarization amongst the people to make us hate one another, by religion, race or whatever else. We need to always keep an eye at these things and be vigilant, at least on this sub people were aware of the lobbyst push for chat control, but i never heard it from my local news for example.
Everyone discounting al jazeera because quatar is not perfect could discount any news from anywhere, including their own countries, with that logic.
Of course half of them are paid trolls to defend you know who from the truth.
It is censorship, and while quatar never had english common law and the magna carta and enjoyed the enlightenment freeing the populace from religion as such, england did.
It is a betrayal of england’s ancient and hard fought rights. It was one of the first to gain rights, now taken away by cynical polits on both sides owned by oligarchs.
>North Korea: “Britain calls it safety. It is censorship”
Cheers Al Jazeera ..
OP has no clue what “censorship” means.
It’s Al Jazeera ffs. An article about censorship in Al Jazeera. **Al Jazeera!** This is beyond irony. Funny af still.
Everyone is at it, but the genie is out of the bottle. Australia looking to ban kids from social media, despite anyone over 10 knowing what a vpn is.
Little by little your anonymity is being eroded by data harvesting governments.
How long before the Internet is gone, and replaced by a government approved intranet is in place? Luckily they know a friend in a tech firm that can implement that at a knock down price of 20m in your pocket
This is a mess of an article, arguing that it’s better for me to police my kids from buying cigarettes that force the shop to not sell them to kids.
But then, we jump to the porn, which is used to frame monopolisation efforts, neglecting the fact that as a responsible adult, if I wish to watch pornography with my children, I still have that freedom to sign in with my account as an adult and enjoy scat films of consenting adult sharing ‘dubai chocolage’ with my children in the comfort of my home. Like smoking and drinking alcohol, when done by children in the presence of responsible adults, *what’s the problem*?
Anyway that Twitter eh at least Elon Musk isn’t censoring anyone.
(better /s just in case)
Can we ban this media source already ?
I call it nord vpn
“Within days of the law taking effect in late July 2025, X (formerly Twitter) started hiding videos of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza from UK timelines behind content warnings and age barriers”
Apparently now: Content warning = censorship
OP are you aware content warning signs have existed for decades???
This is from Al-Jazeera. It’s horseshit.
Did. They block the dark web too ?
