@kibcol1049 This is not so good, and a complete nonsense debate from the beginning to the end. Parents already have all the technical and legal tools to block social media for their children. Schools can forbid smart phones in class and on school premises.
Yet... the EU continues. The reason is obvious. They want to build out the surveillance state, and be able to block social media posts that go against the socialist narrative of the EU.
They also want to be able to deplatform political
@h4890 @kibcol1049 I'm sorry, the what? Have you considered cutting down on your hyperbole?
@ariaflame @kibcol1049 Cutting down on the truth? Never! What you say seems to me to be similar to a nazi asking the ww2 jews to stop complaining. Utterly ridiculous, that is.
@h4890 @kibcol1049 Yeah, way way too much hyperbole. You are too simplistic and outrageous in your thinking to be worth listening to.
@ariaflame @kibcol1049 It saddens me that your mind is closed to the truth (TM). However! There is light at the end of the tunnel, life will teach you eventually regardless of if you want it to or not.
That hyperbole diminish the circumstances of those who suffer the oppression in china, and is just rage bait or pure propaganda from either a russian trollfarm or some such.
@GoblinQuester I note that no proof or argument has been offered by the socialists. They scream hyperbole, yet, are completely incapable of responding with anything worth while.
But this is an established technique on the extremist political left. Yell hyperbole or "racism", do anything to cast doubt on the person, and never engage with rational thought and argument.
@kibcol1049 opponents. With the online ID requirements, and the surveillance apparatus that has been built, we are now no better than china.
