  • For reference, the title is:

    ISRAELIS HAVE FREE HEALTHCARE FUNDED BY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS, WHICH GIVES THEM 5 YEARS OF EXTRA LIFE COMPARED TO THE AMERICANS

    The fact-check link explains that Israelis don’t have privileged access to the USA healthcare system, not how the Israeli healthcare system is financed. But it’s an obvious clickbait title: are 4 years difference, not five, and wherever the money comes (USA transference, Israeli working class, plundering of Palestine…) don’t change the fact that it’s better and 34 times cheaper than the USA healthcare system.

    Edit: typo

    Also, other relevant quotes:

    When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
    — Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).

    If the oppressor uses violence, the oppressed have no alternative but to respond violently. In our case it was simply a legitimate form of self-defense.
    — Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).

    We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.
    — Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (1986)







  • Server admins could add in the policy that any AI scrapping requires the previous permission of the copyright holders of the contents (i.e., the users) when the scrap is done for exploitation of the data for greed. Also, the robots.txt could be used to forbid AI HTML scrap.

    I don’t think that restrictions should be added at a protocol level, but, may be, some declarative tags should be fine:

    {
    "rich": "eat",
    "about-meta": "fck-genocidal-and-youth-suicidal-promoter-zuckenberg",
    "ai": "not-for-greed"
    }
    









  • Obviously, the Russian Army is who has the info about the Russian casualties, and the Ukrainian Army has the information about the Ukrainian casualties. And both are not credible sources.

    I don’t say that the articles using their publicized numbers of the casualties of the other country should be banned. Only those articles, without context about the numbers or the war, have no journalistic value.
