Canada forces companies to censor news unless it’s from pre-approved sources, apparently that includes entire countries. This started happening when there was a surge of non-government funded media which was getting more attention and saying not so nice things about trudeau. His ideas are so bad he has to give billions of printed and stolen dollars from the pre-approved CBC just so they can say how awesome he is. It’s literally their job to say nice things about him otherwise they would lose funding. This country is a clown show. This is why we need nostr. image

It’s a sad state of affairs (pun not intended ) when you loose control like that and still have control. 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️’s

Can’t blame them. Id consider the same.
The appstore clients would be the obvious places to start. Then relays maybe? They would have to put in a lot of work. would be great to see an attack like that in Canada. The PR would be amazing and nostr would level up for sure.

Soon, it will happen in Brazil. Supreme Court supports censorship.

Yeah it'll get to the point of takedown requests on relays and their ISP's. The sooner nostr operates through Tor by default the better.

And the sooner we make use of some kind of relay auto-discovery. Hard coding a list of known relays on client installs is a weak point.
Something really frustrating about seeing good people leave Canada because of someone as trashy as Justin Trudeau. Make him leave instead.
Can someone with tech skills setup a feed from the El Salvador news source into a Nostr account? TIA (Or is this already done?)
And people still ask me "Why are you looking for alternative places to move your family to? What? you're checking out El Salvador?, Costa Rica? really?" That's right.
It is common knowledge that Canada has become cucked. .... Weak men create hard times ....
Not entirely, AFAIU. Canada tried to force Google/facebook/etc to pay media companies every time someone viewed news content via social media or search sites. In response, various social media sites simply stopped displaying any news to avoid having to pay. It was ultimately settled with a substantially watered down bill very recently, but I’m not sure if everything has been updated.
I’d call it totalitarian neo-liberalism, which is actually just a fancy words for fucking social capitalists Nazis
I think that at some points they'd target the Devs. Hope I'm wrong, but stay safe.
How a band of far right wingers led by Jack Dorsi are attempting to recreate the internet: Their success could put your loved one in real danger.
Pretty much. You can argue the outcome of the Canadian governments regulation is censorship. But it certainly isn't the intended result and he's got all the details totally wrong.

Easy. At source payroll deductions, lack of representation, and an unwillingness to martyr ourselves and impoverish our families by doing something that lands us in prison.
Never have I witnessed a more divisive Canadian government than Trudeau’s. Create more problems, spend endlessly, and endlessly blame. The Trudeau plot has been lost long ago. They are coming for his head internally but that won’t change things, given the appetite for censorship is now entrenched. Regardless of party or leader, the system underpinning all of this is broken, and the tea leaves are drizzling with poison. A bonafide shit show indeed. // Don’t get me started on another party propping them up. Libdp party. The old system is awash. Long live freedom data and money. OP PP ya feel me? Knew ya would 🫂 🤗🎄
maybe I’m mixing this up with something else? trudeau at one point was trying to remove independent media licenses for non-government funded media like rebel news because they were the only ones asking hard questions during covid, and denied them access to press conferences and refused to answer questions from them. Thats what i was referring to, but may not be related directly to the instagram result, I assume its all related to the general attempt to centralize media so they can continue to lie to canadian citizens without pushback. Maybe @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 has a better perspective, I find canadian politics mind numbing.
Mostly Canadians happily parroted “freedumb” during the trucker convoy. They are fully domesticated.

Is Canada on its way to be China 2.0? Kind of seems like it
IMO, number one way to respond to a shitty government is leave nobody can tell me that they didn't see it coming, when it goes auschwitz at this point, c'mon i mean, isn't one of the common gambits these pigs are playing to lure in migrants to vote for them using the welfare system? oh yeah that's their achilles heel nobody goes to the gas chambers if everyone already went somewhere else
i can't believe you were able to write a Note that doesn't sound pathetic and gay. what the fuck was that " Beep Boop " shit a while back ? do you realize that adipose tissue actively converts testosterone to estrogen ? luckily your wife won't leave you as long as you make good money but you certainly would have more respect if you had testosterone in your blood rather than estrogen. or at least pretended that you do and instead of writing "Beep Boop" asked yourself "what would Dissident Sound write" ?
Canadians have an inferiority complex because they aren't Americans so to make themselves feel better they tell themselves everything America stands for is wrong, and that includes things like freedom. Canadians say things like " we here in Canada measure fuel economy in liters per 100 kilometers and Americans measure it in Cheeseburgers per Freedom " Hope it sounds just as funny when you're telling that joke in a Gulag.
they don't change overnight, one by one more and more districts get scumbags in control and then before you know it they are starting to make idiotic dictats first thing that tyrants do is build an illusion they have power, first mistake is to think it's real just travel a little and you'll see where the veil is thin and you can probably hold out there country towns and islands and mountains... it's not hard to figure out, just make it a priority
your wife is fattening you up so you can't leave. she gets your money and you get heart disease. women ALWAYS do this - it is well known. don't shoot the messenger. PS: i never spoke to your wife but she's muting me anyway because she can sense i'm on to her BS.
What you said was “Canada forces companies to censor news unless it’s from pre-approved sources, apparently that includes entire countries.” That's not remotely true. In fact, it's kinda the opposite: the big media is getting unintentionally censored. Smaller, unapproved, and especially unofficial, news sources are unaffected by the link tax laws.
