Oh boy. New government website has dropped.

"The site features a graphic of a ghostly horse galloping above the Earth, and the motto: “Information is power. Reclaim your human right to free expression. Get ready.”"

@stefan

I wonder whether I will finally enable me to hear or see a decent US-American "fuck" or "shit" that isn't covered by a BEEP, or by asterisks.

Or maybe eben see a a US-American nipple without a black bar covering it?

You know, that kind of stuff that we can see on European TV since the 1970ies.

Dear Mr. Aral Balkan, I joined my Gaza verification meeting yesterday at 1 PM, but no one was there. Please reschedule, as I need the verification for donations for my 90-year-old blind mother in Gaza who urgently needs diapers. Please respond. Kholoud.

@aral I'm honestly surprised that they changed the name of Department of Defense to Department of War.

A bit unusual not to engage in doublespeak and just give the game away.

EDIT: Like the so-called "Board of Peace".

@stefan @aral There's this German Musician, Marius Müller-Westernhagen who long ago wrote a popular song called "Freiheit" (freedom).

Anti-vaxxers liked to play this during their protests. His reaction was to post this photo with the caption "Freiheit".

„Freiheit“: Westernhagen postet Impf-Foto

Der Sänger Marius Müller- Westernhagen hat auf Instagram für Aufsehen mit einem Post gesorgt. Was sein Statement mit seinem Kult-Song "Freiheit" zu tun hat.

@stefan it's interesting to see the various uses of that domain throughout the years.

https://web.archive.org/web/20050611063123/http://www.freedom.gov/

And there is a big window where it was either unused or not captured.

Also having it managed by CISA might still give it some sort of credibility to some people (even though CISA is only CISA in name only now).

@stefan I'm assuming it won't show the USian sites that hides content for people they aren't legally allowed to collect and sell data from.

@Mabande No, you're thinking a different kind of freedom.
