We Were Right #416: Censorship

As I reported recently, the Australian government was censoring social media posts at a rate of knots during Covid. In less than three years, the government censored over 4000 posts, for supposedly “harmful misinformation”. I’m sure you won’t be at all surprised to find that that was a

Calling the Zuck to Account

A common argument from the anti-free speech left is that “it’s only censorship if the government is doing it!” This, they claim, means that when social media companies censor speech on their platforms, it’s not really censorship. This is wrong, of course, on several points. Firstly, while

Oh What Tedious Threads He’s Weaved

No doubt Spark will be pretty keen to move to Threads, after their debacle on Twitter last week. After all, they won’t have to worry about a public backlash to the misogynist bigotry of their employees in a space where no one will even see it. The great terror

The Ad New Zealand Newspapers Don’t Want You to See

Family First In a disturbing display of media censorship, the major daily Newspapers have all banded together to pull the publication of a full page advertisement at the 11th hour.

Some people seem to have missed Dave Chappelle’s memo: “You are never, ever, allowed to upset the alphabet people”. And, under no circumstances, not never, not ever, should you publicly state orthodox Christian beliefs. A Minnesota mayor has been summarily found guilty of both. Members of an LGBTQ+ group

Making Whores and Charlatans Look Honest

As I repeatedly warn BFD readers, “Always assume a ‘fact-checker’ is trying to bullshit you”. That’s because “fact-checkers” are in reality almost always Confirmation Bias Machines whose purpose is to mislead and to reinforce biased narratives. The ABC and its partnership with RMIT FactLab is a case

As I wrote recently, even Big Brother himself, Mark Zuckerberg, is raising an eyebrow at Anthony Albanese’s Orwellian “online misinformation” bill. The bill would allow the government to arbitrarily declare anything online as “harmful misinformation”, while exempting themselves from the same scrutiny. The bill would also outlaw speech that

Technically, it’s a fallacy to judge an idea on the metric of just who is endorsing it. Still, there are some actors who are so resolutely wrong that it’s a pretty safe bet that anything they like is a very bad thing indeed. One such bad actor is

What is it with Labor governments and Orwellian censorship? Last time, it was Julia Gillard trying to set up a government censor for mainstream media. This time, it’s Anthony Albanese, trying to do the same for social media. Unsurprisingly, both Gillard and Albanese hail from Labor’s Socialist Left

As any sensible man knows, telling an angry woman to be quiet is almost never going to work out in your favour. But the wet, weak fools running the supposedly conservative party in Victoria are not sensible men. Women across the world are very angry right now — and they’re
