The British politician wants the government to censor what people can post, share and publish online. by Amanda Froelich British politician Theresa May – yes, the same one that wants to revive fox hunting – intends to introduce new, controversial regulations on the way the internet works. To ensure Britain becomes “ the global leader in the regulation of the use of personal data and the internet, ” she and fellow Conservatives wants to allow the government to decide what is online and available for citizens to view. A manifesto outlining the controversial move states, “ Some people say that it is not for [the] government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet. We disagree. ” As The Independent reports, Senior Tories confirmed the phrasing to BuzzFeed News and reiterated that the government intends to censor what people can post, share and publish online. The manifesto explains that preventing terrorism is a top priority an

The New York chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and activists with Millions March NYC sued the New York Police Department after the department refused to confirm or deny the existence of records on Black Lives Matter activists. Mariko Hirose, a senior staff attorney for the New York chapter, said, “ New York City should be doing what it can to protect people’s right to engage in political protests. The last thing the police department should be doing is finding new loopholes to conceal from activists whether or not they are interfering with protests and organizing. ” Millions March NYC and organizers Vienna Rye, Arminta Jeffryes and Nabil Hassein filed a routine record request under the state’s freedom of information law. They sought records that might reveal why multiple activists had “strange problems” with their cell phones at Black Lives Matter protests. A request asked for any records the NYPD might have on “the use of technology to

Μπορεί τα ΜΜΕ και οι καγκελαρίες της Ευρώπης να αποσιωπούν και να αγνοούν πεισματικά τη διαδικασία ανεξαρτοποίησης της Καταλονίας αλλά αυτό δεν σημαίνει και ότι το καταλανικό ζήτημα δεν πρόκειται να τις ταλανίσει αγρίως στο αμέσως προσεχές μέλλον. Πότε; Μα, το πολύ σε 4 μόλις μήνες αν όχι και ακόμα πιο πριν! Δηλαδή, τον επόμενο Σεπτέμβρη όταν είναι προγραμματισμένο (από την κυβέρνηση της Καταλωνίας) να διεξαχθεί το -ιστορικής σημασίας και κρισιμότητας- δημοψήφισμα για τη δημιουργία της ανεξάρτητης Καταλανικής Δημοκρατίας… Εκτός βέβαια και αν η σύγκρουση της Βαρκελώνης με τη Μαδρίτη επιταχύνει τη διεξαγωγή αυτού του δημοψηφίσματος. Ή ακόμα καλύτερα, εκτός και αν συμβεί αυτό που προβλέπει το “μυστικό σχέδιο” της καταλανικής κυβέρνησης, που αποκάλυψε με πηχιαίους πρωτοσέλιδους τίτλους η El Pais τη Δευτέρα 22 Μαίου: Δηλαδή, η ακαριαία μονομερής κήρυξη της ανεξαρτησίας της Καταλονίας στην περίπτωση που οι αρχές της Μαδρίτης εμποδίσουν τους Καταλανούς πολίτες να ψηφίσουν

Venezuela represents everything that the U.S. opposes in the region: socialism, anti-imperialism, economic independence via energy exports and a viable ally for China, Russia, Iran and other countries that oppose the hegemonic designs of Washington. by Eric Draitser Part 5 - The future of the revolution? Now, with Trump and Tillerson at the helm of the imperial warship, it seems that the target on Venezuela’s back has grown larger still. And with the right-wing resurgence throughout Latin America, strategic planners might feel that it’s only a matter of time before they achieve their objective: the destruction of the Bolivarian Revolution and a return to Venezuelan dependence on the U.S. But while it seems that the U.S. is in control, there’s just one small issue – chavismo, the political ideology associated with the ideas and governing style of Hugo Chavez. While Washington won’t officially admit it, there is a fear that any direct intervention

Another terror attack in Europe coincidentally(?) occurs right before crucial national elections, this time in the UK - The British media start the war against Jeremy Corbyn just like the US media did with Bernie Sanders globinfo freexchange Who is the establishment's reserve in the UK this time? No doubt: Theresa May and the Conservatives. In fact, the establishment doesn't seem to have too many options now that sees with terror that the Labour party starts 'derailing' dangerously from the neoliberal agenda, under Jeremy Corbyn. Brexit was not Theresa May's idea, after all. She is definitely establishment's favourite, a kind of reincarnation of Margaret Thatcher, the holy mother of neoliberals all over the world. So, the British media sharpen their knives against Labour party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, because he brings back forgotten pro-people policies against the agenda of the plutocracy. Which shows that for the elites, Brexit is not tha
