  1. The Libs of TikTok account was originally registered publicly in Chaya Raichik’s name, it was not a secret. There was no 'doxxing'. Actually, it was also quite influencial in the right-wing sphere and far from being "not newsworthy" "The content has been amplified by TV personalities like Carlson and Laura Ingraham, and has also found fans among conservatives such as Christina Pushaw and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary, who Lorenz wrote in her story once claimed Libs of TikTok offered inspiration for a new Florida law that limits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity—which critics have dubbed the Don’t Say Gay law." https://www.forbes.com/sites/madelinehalpert/2022/04/19/right-wing-figures-attack-journalist-taylor-lorenz-for-revealing-creator-of-libs-of-tiktok/?sh=37edff9442d9
  2. Have you read the text from the link you posted? "We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021." https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension It's a lame false equivalence. Is there any glorification of violence in Lightfoot's tweet?
  3. So not about media and not about BLM. Change of target now! Well, as Placeholder already replied, this expression may be used in a figurative way and not necessarily calling for violence. Was it an isolated event, or a consistent pattern, i.e. did she repeatedly sent tweets calling for violence and spreading lies?
  4. You're not American but eager to adopt the American right-wing propaganda and false equivalences. The BLM riots did not try to steal elections by invading the Capitol, and creating fake electors lists, etc... They were sometimes violent (and people have been indicted and convicted for that) but had a legitimate aim. As about the media, they did not incite violence as you (read: the right-wing propaganda) are claiming, and you have no proof about it.
  5. More precisely, rightwingers who complained about Twitter censoring people who were lying, now have no problem with censoring people who are telling the truth.
  6. As far as I understand it's not related to his campaign fund. It goes directly into his pocket. He has no obligation to fund any political activity with it, and probably won't.
  7. Says Fox News! Lol! I don't watch TV so I checked a website of one of the media you (Fox News) cited, and there was an article about it dating from two days ago. Twitter Files: What they are and why they matter https://www.cbsnews.com/news/twitter-files-matt-taibbi-bari-weiss-michael-shellenberger-elon-musk/
  8. It seems you have become the guardian of a "one should not talk about Trump" dogma. ????
  9. Fauci is right about the stupid politization of this issue! More Republicans than Democrats died after COVID-19 vaccines were available https://www.medicaleconomics.com/view/more-republicans-than-democrats-died-after-covid-19-vaccines-were-available
  10. It's been explained to you many times.
  11. Still not reading the discussions in the thread! ???? It's a MAGA poster who introduced the Ivermectin subject in the tread! Having said that, I understand you don't want Trump to be evoked. What an embarrassment!
  12. Come on! This is completely biased! Ivermectin is actually a very efficient treatment! "Remove worms and bots with a single dose of IverCare (ivermectin paste) 1.87%. This convenient paste offers broad-spectrum parasite control and comes in the extended Sure-Grip syringe. Proudly made in the U.S.A., it's the only ivermectin product that treats horses up to 1,500 pounds in a single dose." ???????????????? https://www.farnam.com/all-products/deworming/ivercare
  13. I haven't analysed the OZ case, which seems to be particular. However, the WAPO article you proudly linked shows the death rate in the USA was around three times higher for the unvaccinated compared to the vaccinated ones.
  14. They are so stupid that they died from it! The new Darwinism: survival of the smartest! More Republicans than Democrats died after COVID-19 vaccines were available https://www.medicaleconomics.com/view/more-republicans-than-democrats-died-after-covid-19-vaccines-were-available
  15. MAGA fake news, as usual! "The misleading posts imply that national restrictions such as vaccine passports were based on a promise of vaccines blocking virus spread that neither the companies nor EU regulators made before the vaccines were marketed." https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-transmission-idUSL1N31F20E
  16. The latest data shows that 58% of COVID-19 deaths in August 2022 were from people who were vaccinated or boosted. Based on past figures and the current trends, we can reasonably estimate that the number of vaccinated/boosted COVID-19 deaths will only rise. (In September 2021, the vaccinated accounted for 23% of COVID-19 deaths; in January/February 2022, the vaccinated were 42%.) This is what happens when you rush ineffective and dangerous vaccines. And there is a good explanation for that: the share of vaccinated people. - 80% of population is vaccinated, 58% of deaths, ratio 0.725 - 20% not vaccinated, 42% of deaths, ratio 2.1 So the death ratio is 3 times lower for vaccinated people. Capicce? Not to mention that people with comorbidities and old people, which are most at risk, are usually vaccinated.
  17. So what? Are you just assessing the validity of a study by face value? There is no flaw in their methodology. They also did not invent the data. They used the YouGov poll data.
  18. Right. There have been some cases of misused allowances. However, it seems they have made investigations and recovered these funds. ???? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/03/eu-recovers-200000-from-ukip-meps-accused-of-misusing-funds
  19. Usual GOP m.o. They did the same about the Big Lie. When they don't have the balls to openly lie, they launch an investigation.
  20. Well, it seems It's getting worse.... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/north-east-set-take-hardest-24289986
  21. Ok. However, they voted Brexit because they've been told it would change this situation.
  22. Lol! Since when is being a Finn or German University professor an indicator of scientific bias? Please explain us how their methodology is biased! They also did not invent the data they used in their analysis.
  23. The analysis by region is quite interesting. "London’s globally connected economy masked a wider English malaise. While the capital recorded 2.3 percent growth, only two of England’s eight other regions eked out any gains. The northeast, including Newcastle and Sunderland, fared worst, with a 1.2 percent slump." I guess It's not what they were expecting from Brexit when they voted against the cosmopolitan elite.....
  24. The link is in the post to which I replied. Quite interesting.
