It means our checks and balances worked in this case; he was given a visa based on what they knew about him.

This isn&#x2019;t a philosophical debate about free_expression, it&#x2019;s about kids being exposed to cyber&#x2011;bullying, predators, and explicit material long before they&#x2019;re equipped to handle it.   That goes well beyond any reasonable definition of &#x201C;free speech&#x201D;.   Instead of acknowledging that, the administration is busy shielding US tech interests and pretending the real issue is regulatory inconvenience.   That deserves full criticism!   While other countries are trying to put basic protection in place, the US response is to complain that it might be awkward for American companies.  Other nations have already acted. The UK is now at least attempting to. The US should focus on fixing its own online&#x2011;safety failures before trying to lean on other nations about theirs.</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 23:42:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Censorship of support for Palestine</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396337-censorship-of-support-for-palestine/?do=findComment&comment=20545570]]></link><description>That you cannot recognise antisemitism when it is writ large and bold by a fantasist, is unlikely to come as a surprise to anyone that follows this forum.</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 23:41:21 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why aren't the men doing something?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396415-why-arent-the-men-doing-something/?do=findComment&comment=20545569]]></link><description>We are not here on this thread to talk about violence we are here to talk about women who wanted equal rights but then expect me as gender neutral person to assist them if they can't do whatever they can't do , if that makes sense !

However, that doesn't predict the conclusion or what "winning" will actually look like for Ukraine. I heard a comment today that made a lot of sense. What's happening now isn't enough. For things to conclude well for Ukraine first both Putin needs to be gone AND the Russian economy really needs to fall apart. Who knows about Putin, but sadly the Russian economy still has cards to play.</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 23:40:47 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Worst Joke Ever 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1071616-worst-joke-ever-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20545567]]></link><description/><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/715277930_1535006641306628_4827655574198150936_n.jpg.fa1bd4787595fd7b9948d69009dbfc98.jpg" length="67458" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 23:40:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>World Cup referee barred from US despite FIFA clearance</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396391-world-cup-referee-barred-from-us-despite-fifa-clearance/?do=findComment&comment=20545566]]></link><description>I'm for being selective about who comes into our country.
