Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Censorship is a core and fundamental value of democracy.
If the people have free access to information, then how can we protect our values?
RT:
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday that the EU will ban the Russian media outlets RT and Sputnik accusing them of spreading “harmful disinformation.” She did not specify whether this ban will apply solely to television broadcasts, or whether RT and Sputnik’s websites will be affected.
In what she called an “unprecedented” step, von der Leyen announced that “we will ban in the European Union the Kremlin’s media machine.”
“The state owned Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war and to sow division in our union,” she continued. “We are developing tools to ban toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe.”
Von der Leyen’s move comes a day after the Association of European Journalists called on the EU to implement a bloc-wide ban on RT, and have its journalists “removed.” It also comes several days after the EU sanctioned RT’s editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan.
Simonyan responded to the latest ban by declaring that “not a single person who faithfully worked and continues to work for us will be laid off in any country.”
“We know how to do our job in the conditions of bans. These freedom-loving people have been preparing us for this for eight years.”
There are demands for a ban in the UK as well, though last I heard they were pushing back.
The Americans have already banned everything, and have total information control.
I can’t even believe what I’m seeing on Fox News and CNN. I have never seen this level of disinformation in my life. All they do is show someone speaking in front of an old picture of Kiev (KEY-ev) and say that the Ukrainians are fighting back and winning the war.
They don’t show any footage of the war.
They keep saying there is fighting in Kharkiv, even though the city already surrendered to Russia.
It’s hard to find anything on Twitter, they’re banning so hard and more than banning, making searches impossible.
Look at this:

That is standard.
Obviously, Russia is going to take Kiev here pretty soon, so what are they going to say then? That it is a big surprise?
Banning a news station is a desperate act.
They have to know how ridiculous it is to just keep saying that Ukraine is winning by throwing water balloons at tanks but not showing any of the fighting.
