    I have the have the, perhaps naively idealistic view, that one might occasionally find honest politicians in the small fringe parties! :)

      I did once recommend dropping a frog into the Christmas punch of a popular journalist on a social media site. The algorithm picked up the word "punch" and I was banned for a day. It takes a little skill to word things in a manner that will not get the pearl clutching algorithms from taking things out of context. (For those not in the know "punch" is a drink)

            Ah, the good old Daily Fail. The paper that campaigned vigorously against the "yellow peril" of Chinese immigrants. The paper which campaigned against granting women and lower-class men the right to vote, and against granting independence to India. The paper that supported the actual Nazis (right up until it became apparent they were going to lose). The paper that was a big fan of apartheid. The paper that wanted to identify and abort homosexual foetuses based on a so-called "gay gene" test. The paper that recently partnered with The People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese communist party. And that's before you get to the Fail Online's "sidebar of shame", which was infamous for perving over predominantly female - and sometimes even underage - celebrities. But sure, we'll pay attention when they criticize the perceived behaviour of another website. :laugh:

            Being an Indian, I am not sure of the veracity of British websites and newspapers. Just gave the news from one of the sites. I find the same news being reported on a dozen Indian websites, and here is a sample link - 'Commie As F***...' Twitter engineer makes explosive claims[^]

                As some of you might have been aware by some Australian post... Australian election are coming this Saturday! On Facebook, not as private message but on a wall, someone shared an handy guide to all the minor parties. I commented, and I quote from memory, the post has been removed "party X is a bunch of crooks, shoot them on sight". Now I was not really recommending to go full American and do a public shooting for real. It was more like a metaphor between like minded small group of friend, to emphasize how untrustworthy were those wanna be minister. Plus we don't have a tradition of public shooting here, I mean we did but no longer, thanks John Howard (even if you're a crook in other aspect). At any rate, The Algorithm told me that my post was inflammatory and has been removed, and I could appeal if I think I was misunderstood. I didn't, annoying but no big deals. In the past I noticed many web site have some heavy handed, wild blanketed rude language filter and they are just gonna ignore my complaint. Plus hey, I did use the words "shoot people". I mean obviously nobody I know (and nobody that would read that post) will think I was really advocating it, but, emm.. The Algorithm will think I mean my word. The Algorithm being as subtle as a 3 years old. Perhaps for good reason, according to the rumor I hear on the internet. But I thought about it again today... it was just one click away, should have I complained, what says you?

                It's about all that a company can do to adhere to EU law; some stuff needs to be removed in 24hrs. You should complain, because it makes you feel better, but don't expect any changes.

                    Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't realise we weren't allowed to blame the gutter-press for things they'd actually done. :laugh: I can only assume you're not familiar with Viscount Rothermere's "Tory Propaganda Rag", aka the Daily Mail. Essentially, they're about as trustworthy a news-source as the drunk guy down the pub who claims to be The Proclaimers' uncle.

                      That was one long-winded logical fallacy.

                                  For the run of the mill Aussie the "imminent danger" also does not carry a gun, this does preclude the criminal/gang elements who are thoroughly weponised. Some areas are setting up vigilante groups to protect themselves against youth crime gangs.

                                    As some of you might have been aware by some Australian post... Australian election are coming this Saturday! On Facebook, not as private message but on a wall, someone shared an handy guide to all the minor parties. I commented, and I quote from memory, the post has been removed "party X is a bunch of crooks, shoot them on sight". Now I was not really recommending to go full American and do a public shooting for real. It was more like a metaphor between like minded small group of friend, to emphasize how untrustworthy were those wanna be minister. Plus we don't have a tradition of public shooting here, I mean we did but no longer, thanks John Howard (even if you're a crook in other aspect). At any rate, The Algorithm told me that my post was inflammatory and has been removed, and I could appeal if I think I was misunderstood. I didn't, annoying but no big deals. In the past I noticed many web site have some heavy handed, wild blanketed rude language filter and they are just gonna ignore my complaint. Plus hey, I did use the words "shoot people". I mean obviously nobody I know (and nobody that would read that post) will think I was really advocating it, but, emm.. The Algorithm will think I mean my word. The Algorithm being as subtle as a 3 years old. Perhaps for good reason, according to the rumor I hear on the internet. But I thought about it again today... it was just one click away, should have I complained, what says you?

                                    FB pulled a comment of mine after the following exchange: Anon: "Don't ask me to tell you what I think of the Stone Roses." Me: "I wouldn't. Ian Brown will come round and punch you out!" This was (obviously) meant as a joke (he has a bit of a reputation), but the censorship bots clearly have no SOH. To this day, my account still carries a 'warning' status because of it. Well, FB, you can take that and stick it. Anyway no, I see no mileage in chasing it up. There's a brick wall over there - if you're desperate, you can bang you head on that.

                                      I don't like him much.. but someone mention recently that he was the one that remove lots of guns from circulation after a mass shooting. Never happen again since then. So there is that....

                                        So the bad guys surrendered their guns? Since you can't own a gun for reasons of self defense, how do Aussies protect themselves in the face of imminent danger?

                                        It's why I rather be a surfie than swim in the ocean. You can't outswim a rip, that's where then most death occur in Australia, drowning out of exhaustion. Swim perpendicular to it until you're out of the rip. But, when you're on your surfboard, you won't be take away by the rip and you can easily come back to the shore or rest. Other than that, I am not quite what "danger" you're talking about... mmm... But gun don't quite seem necessary...

                                          It's about all that a company can do to adhere to EU law; some stuff needs to be removed in 24hrs. You should complain, because it makes you feel better, but don't expect any changes.
