Short THREAD:
This article addresses the recent (19 Aug 2020) #Facebook policy change:

"An Update to How We Address Movements and Organizations Tied to Violence"
about.fb.com/news/2020/08/a…
On the face of things, most people would agree that it is better not to allow the glorification &/or encouragement of violence.

But where does the real celebration - nay glorification - of violence come from?

[HINT: think Hollywood, online "games", the military ... ] Image
Then there is the issue of why violence is shown at all on our screens.

To CELEBRATE violence - almost as art form?

Or to EXPOSE the violence of states (& those they employ) - done in our names?

Here is a Case Study from another social media platform:

Here is another example of CELEBRATING violence - indeed TRAINING participants in its use (eg the military uses such games as gateways for identifying adepts who might command drones).

If you are not playing such games, your kids might be.

A THREAD:

Quick view of some of the speeches outside the court (from livestreams). Clips will no doubt follow.

#FreeJulianAssangeNow #PardonAssangeNOW
Speech from @JohnWRees:

"I would say 95% of this judge's judgment was to uphold the prosecution's case for extradition.

She refused extradition at the last moment ... because [putting him] under SAMs in the US would be an oppressive act."

Image
Speech from @CraigMurrayOrg:

"We heard arguments today from the judge that are deeply concerning ...

[He list a number of them.]

But all of that is for tomorrow. Today, we are swept away by our joy that he will shortly be with us."

Please help @CraigMurrayOrg:

"I am EXTREMELY keen for you to follow tomorrow’s procedural hearing where the question of what evidence is permitted will be addressed."

Wed 26 Sep 2020 9:45am BST
Dial (+44)-207 660 8149
Access code 137 161 9904
Rules: scotcourts.gov.uk/coming-to-cour…
See comments on Craig's blog for updates re procedural hearing today, but main point seems to be:

"The Judges rejected the Crown application & basically said all the Defence evidence needs to be considered at the full hearing where they will decide if it is relevant or not."
Well, well, what have we here?

Seems it IS possible to do something about corruption in high places - at least in #Scotland. This might fix one tiny corner but looks like a very big broom is needed for the rest of the mess.
