Wasn‘t he complaining last year in Germany about how in Europe free speech was under attack? I am certain he will criticise Musk the same now, right? Right?

[–] johncandy1812@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 day ago

Stop using Musk's products.

Streisand the fucking thing.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Post it on Mastodon and here instead.

The REAL free speech platforms.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that enough? Isn't there only like 11 million on mastadon?

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can also copy the Mastodon/Lemmy link to Twitter and Bluesky, I guess.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm with you, I just think on top of those we also need to focus on where people are. Facebook does the heavy lifting now. They show you the most popular right wing groups now. It's easy to post to them

Love the Streisand effect. I had no idea there was footage of this cabbage patch chimp getting booed at the Olympics until they blocked it 😆

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

In Canada we don't censor that sort of stuff so watching the CBC stream was funny. All applause then the couch pest showed up and the entire stadium mood changed. Americans truly don't realize they are jokes outside of their country.

[–] crash_thepose@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No we definitely know and also consider ourselves jokes

Like Israel at Eurovision. They had all the anti-booing on the streams, but some of it was still slipping through and Graham was like "I don't know what you can all hear at home, but this definitely an energetic reception" 😆

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Blocked on X...LOL! Fuck Leon Hitler and every time he cries about censorship.

Fuck you NBC.

[–] itistime@infosec.pub 58 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.

[–] bob_lemon@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the US didn't have enough actual police officers they could bring?

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

Because the police is employed by states and the country. ICE is their private army, and obeys their master.

No difference than officers having red armbands in the 1930's.

Everyone hates you Vance. They hate you because you are dumb and you suck and you are a bad person.

I don't know that he's dumb, but that makes him even worse.

He’s not dumb. Oh my oh my the contrast. He sure as hell ain’t wise either.

How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube

[–] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yes but if the presenters didn't mention it, I could not detect boos from the video alone.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iZRAa4fKZ3U

I have noticed this often when someone gets booed. Pretty obvious when you are there but not on video. As an audio nerd it has me perplexed.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 20 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I also think they were ready for that and they masked it live. It doesn't make any sense for the presenters to mention the booing if you can't even hear it in the recording. It must have been very loud.

It's all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it's not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I'd bet there's a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.

Probably DMCA. The Olympic committee is very jealous and very aggressive. They control all recordings strictly.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (11 children)

They don't control my tivo recordings.

Which is why everyone should oppose ATSC 3.0.

With ATSC 3.0, TV stations can literally insert ads overlayed on screen at any point.

They can use your tv's smart functions to literally track your behavior.

They can refuse to allow you to record tv stations entirely, or just kndividual shows.

They can delete shows without your consent. They can block you from watching shows. They can make OTA tv programing pay per view.

I'm not saying they ARE doing this, or are planning it, but they CAN. And if capitalism has taught me anything it's "fuck you, pay us, and then pay us again, and fuck you again".

See......humans are stupid. We could all be living in lush rich forests, having sex in bright sunny fields, with no cares in the world.

Instead, we all have jobs, and make ourselves slaves to them. We hand over control of all aspects of our lives to corporations.

Instead of utopia, we live in a parking lot jungle. Where the profits for paid parking are more important than affordable housing, and rent control.

And it all rolls downhill. Even television is trying its hand at enshitification. Don't buy a smart tv. Don't buy ATSC 3.0 anything. Tell these fuckers to fuck off!

ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

[–] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 93 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Yeah but the party prefers their brown shirts.

Twitter is not the only social media platform out there, right?

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I've seen NBC edited out the boos on their broadcast

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So sad the regime needs to protect its citizens from its international perception via media censorship. Very North Korea.

You know, I just read that about an hour ago, but I can’t seem to find that version of the video. All the versions I see are the ones with all the boos and jeers, lol.

Someone’s algorithm needs a tweak…

I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.

Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

People should just upload it (slightly cut or stretched) again and again. And again.
