Just like "torture" became "enhanced interrogation techniques" and "kids in cages" are now to be referred to as "migrant children detained in immigration facilities," journalists are now starting to refer to their incessant censorship demands as "content moderation challenges."

Also, if journalists want to continue to claim that any criticisms of their journalism constitutes "harassment" and "incitement of abuse," they're going to need to come up with a list of which journalists can be harshly criticized and which are off-limits. It's seems arbitrary.

One last thing: if a journalist decides to write an article urging that you be banned from writing -- in the name of Safeguarding Real Journalism -- hope that the one who does it is someone who just got fired for serial plagiarism within the last year.

While we're expressing our solidarity and concern for very select journalists suffering mean criticism of their work, I'd like to express my solidarity with Julian Assange, rotting in a UK prison because the Biden DOJ is continuing to try to prosecute him

nytimes.com/2021/02/08/us/…

"A coalition of civil liberties and human rights groups urged the Biden Admin to drop efforts to extradite the Julian Assange from Britain and prosecute him, calling the Trump-era case against him “a grave threat to press freedom.”

Remember when we pretended to care about that?

For journalists who don’t care much when a government seeks to prosecute someone for publishing docs, Assange - before being put in a cage in Belmarsh Prison - suffered really vicious tweets about his work.
