“Best to avoid Facebook and all social media.”

I know what you’re saying, but then you need to avoid FR too. It’s really sad that is come to this. People should be able to let off some steam, engage in satire etc. But that’s not really safe on any platform.

We have to be careful without submitting to self censorship. if you don’t exercise a right it will be lost.

The totalitarian technocratic state is here.

It often depends on whether you are a liberal or a conservative. If you are a liberal, all you have to do is say your statements were taken out of context. Or you can say you have “evolved” since then. Then all is forgiven.

But if you are not a liberal, you become an unperson, permanently. Roseanne Barr is a good example of that.

Being careful IS self-censorship.
