The Fix for Fake News? Give us Tools, not Censorship.
Submitted by jim p on Sun, 12/18/2016 - 4:39pmRestrictions on free speech are all the craze now in Western Democracies (Demockrazies?). In the US, we’ve got the various “protect the people from fake news” initiatives. Of course, the self-appointed and designated “protectors” are Corporate and Government entities, mixed with billionaires who think they are as good and wise as Buddha, Solomon, and all the Saints.

The Perpetrator Pretends to Be a Victim
Submitted by Cant Stop the M... on Fri, 11/25/2016 - 10:56amIt’s a funny thing about fraud. It’s a bit like poisoning a well.
