Matthew Giffin, a student at Middle Tennessee State University: "As editor-in-chief of my student newspaper, I tried to publish a profile of a student worried about his friends in Israel.

Digital companies are expected to adopt a code of conduct which will see them censor speech based on broad, vague and far-reaching directives.The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combating Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 foreshadows the imposition of a legal obligation on digital platforms to police alleged ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’. If that does not work, the law proposal provides for the full empowerment of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to directly intervene for the purpose of preventing ‘harm’.Section 2 of the proposed...

Does Hamas have a legitimate reason to attack Israel, and does Israel have a legitimate reason to respond in kind? Regardless of where one stands on the Israeli/Hamas war, it is a terrible thing, there is seldom much of anything good about war – and yet, sometimes it is necessary. On October 7th, Hamas (again) attacked Israel on multiple fronts, and killed not only military personnel, but civilians as well – add to that the kidnapping of around 200 people. Hamas has repeatedly shown their true colors in that they think nothing of kidnapping, and murdering non-combatants (As well as...

The once revered Lancet medical journal warns in its latest issue that climate change threatens to roll back decades of advances in global health. The climate crisis is “increasing future health risks of injury, disease, and death, through more intense and frequent extreme weather disasters and more extreme heat,” the UK-based journal contends. The Lancet cites a “multiagency report” predicting that the number of medium-scale or large-scale disaster events is projected to reach 560 per year — or 1.5 each day — by 2030.

As is too often the case, most media outlets have accidentally or deliberately failed to tell the truth about a pivotal news event, and years later when the truth always comes out, they’re dragging kicking and screaming to announce it. This often comes in the form of a fast-talking, 15-30-second blurb at 3:42 am or tucked away in a newspaper between the classifieds and stories about the latest dog show winners. They did it with the 2016 election and all the Trump-Russia collusion lies, and some people still believe that conspiracy theory (even after the House investigated, the Senate investigated,...

Asmall and preliminary study published Monday seems to indicate that patients receiving the drug Paxlovid are far more likely to experience Covid rebound than those who did not take it. That conclusion runs counter to previous statements by Pfizer, which makes Paxlovid, and by researchers at the Food and Drug Administration who have argued that while it is not uncommon for people with Covid to have symptoms reemerge after they seem to have recovered, it is not clear that Paxlovid increases the risk of this occurring.

In the meantime, it...
