All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.
After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.
Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.
In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.
Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.
Ooh, let me look for the fucks I give
Being banned by you shows that I’m not a fucking piece of shit, so that makes me pretty proud tbh. And demanding the ban and deletions be reversed (because I didnt say these things in those comments and it literally is NOT why YOU banned me) also makes me proud. Demanding you be fired for months now makes me happy. Being a radical makes waves, which you wouldnt know bc youre a limp dick status quo bootlicker who abuses mod powers for fun
Btw still waiting for you to point out where the “tinfoil hat conspiracy theory” is. Again, just seems like you want to suppress that info bc you’re a bad faith actor.
I never said you were a piece if shit, you’re utterly detached from reality with your nutjob conspiracy theories. Good riddance. Politics is better without you.
Lol you just have zero reading comprehension skills, huh
Exactly WHICH SOURCE regarding elections was inappropriate? The treasury department? Greg Palast? Which one?
Any “source” that suggests voting machines are connected to the internet and are therfore hackable is suspect. That is a patently false allegation that you made REPEATEDLY.

This is literally a link to a local news station announcing Starlink being installed on machines. Can’t be more straightforward or factual.

It was an assurance designed to bolster public confidence in the way America votes: Voting machines “are not connected to the internet.”
But that is an overstatement, according to a team of 10 independent cybersecurity experts who specialize in voting systems and elections. While the voting machines themselves are not designed to be online, the larger voting systems in many states end up there, putting the voting process at risk.
“We found over 35 [voting systems] had been left online and we’re still continuing to find more,” Kevin Skoglund, a senior technical advisor at the election security advocacy group National Election Defense Coalition, told NBC News.
“We kept hearing from election officials that voting machines were never on the internet,” he said. “And we knew that wasn’t true. And so we set out to try and find the voting machines to see if we could find them on the internet, and especially the back-end systems that voting machines in the precinct were connecting to to report their results.”
The three largest voting manufacturing companies — Election Systems &Software, Dominion Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic — have acknowledged they all put modems in some of their tabulators and scanners. The reason? So that unofficial election results can more quickly be relayed to the public. Those modems connect to cell phone networks, which, in turn, are connected to the internet.
The largest manufacturer of voting machines, ES&S, told NBC News their systems are protected by firewalls and are not on the “public internet.” But both Skoglund and Andrew Appel, a Princeton computer science professor and expert on elections, said such firewalls can and have been breached.
Hmm, and here’s another pbs article too btw: www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/voting-experts-warn-of-serious-threats-for-2024-from-election-equipment-software-breaches
Election technology expert Kevin Skoglund, who also signed the letter, said a federal probe was necessary because many of those involved have not been investigated or been asked to give up their copies of the election software.
“Every software copy that is reclaimed reduces the risks of further distribution, disinformation and harm to the security of future elections,” Skoglund said. “There should be consequences for widely sharing parts of our national critical infrastructure or others will be encouraged to repeat these schemes.”
Same guy in 2024 saying we never got all those machines offline from 2020.
