Latest Breaking News

Even though "DU has a specific rule about respecting copyrights in the TOS because violations aren't a joke," your "alerts get ignored," which suggests that the violations are indeed not taken seriously.

This completely contradicts the assertion that the violations aren't a joke.

I have been alerting on copyright violations here since I got here thirteen years ago. I lost count of the number of times that I have sent such alerts. Never, not once in thirteen years has a single one of those ever resulted in a hide. Not once.

But this is not the issue I was expressing concern about with my original reply and question.

My concern is censorship and the convenient disappearance of unpopular truths. The things that keep us from being bombarded by lies and gaslighting. The demoralizing effects of mis and disinformation (which is propaganda because it's misinformation shared deliberately) and the expensive cost of lost societal cohesiveness are my concerns.

Like the manipulation of information to influence popular opinions and the apathy and confusion that are often a result of such. My worry is that logic, science, and truth will disappear.

I don't want to live on a planet that has regressed into the mindset of the dark ages when fear and myth dominated society because of ignorance and deception.

I don't want to have nothing but conspiracy theories and lies dominating the airwaves, literature, current events and popular opinion because one powerful group has taken it upon themselves to direct and control the free flow of information.

These are my concerns relative to the preservation of the truth.

Thanks for your reply.
