Would you ban the broadcast of CBS News as well?

[–] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We banned RT from cable. A bit different mind.

I agree though, just tighten up privacy and reduce the ability to manipulate.

Yeah I haven't watched much TV since twenty years ago, forgot for a moment how tightly regulated broadcasting is. By contrast, nobody has even talked about banning the RT web site. For the most part, banning the use of foreign websites is something only autocratic censorship-heavy states are in the business of doing. Canada's one attempt to block some random for-profit pirate streaming site that almost nobody had heard of was dangerous enough.

We shouldn’t be using products and services of hostile foreign nations. This isn’t a freedumb or mahrights thing.

Don't ask questions already answered. It makes you look bad.
