    yeonmi-park In the dictatorship of North Chinastan, people are arrested for just looking at material the government deems dangerous. You don’t even have to support it, just knowing it exists is enough to put your entire family in jail

    Just wanna say that the UK has actually done this for like, decades now.

    Consumption of content from “proscribed organisations” or something to that effect. You’ll almost certainly have the content on your local machine in cache or something and that counts as “owning terrorist content” or something like that.

    This was put into place before this kind of thing was just commonplace on every single social media platform. I haven’t really seen it used since afghanistan/iraq when we would get suicide bombings here in the UK, but it’s something that we’ve been doing a while and could easily be re-used for this kind of thing…

    It’s like the old gamer idea where you can type “Tiananmen Square” into a lobby’s chat and get all of the Chinese players auto-kicked except real lmao

      "*I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums the beat

      And the loving English feet they went all over us

      And every single night when me da’ would came home tight

      He’d invite the neighbors out with this chorus*"

      "*Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man

      Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders

      Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away

      From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra*"
