Crazy times, #india are #banning their #export of all but one type of #rice to curve lock #inflation https://www.theguardian.com/business/202.. The problem is that this will send #food #inflation through the roof elsewhere around the world.
Oh wow, #poland and the #baltic states are #banning #russian #tourists https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/b.. Pretty strong move!
#us #regulators *finally* making a move on #tiktok https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/tiktok-.. Apparently they are asking #google and #apple to consider #banning them from their #stores due to #data #security #concerns raised about #bytedance .

Great #discussion from #aardvark that indicates that #banning #automatic #rifles has not #helped curve #gun #violence - in fact it has actually #increased https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0328.s.. And the only way forwards now as he suggests is to arm the #police . Also if shit kicks off with #russia , I imagine they may want #citizens #armed again.
I am really concerned with the #approach by #socialmedia and large #tech #companies to introduce #censorship measures... https://timcast.com/news/youtube-bans-al.. #youtube is now #banning anti- #vaccine #videos from their #platform ... Pretty much any #opposition or #freespeech is now being #squashed in the name of #covid and #factcheckers ...
I am glad to be made aware of this by the #lotuseaters - but by god is it #depressing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE0pPtGV.. #uk #conservative #mp 's are moving towards #banning people from running for #office for previously #offending an #mp . A #british #school hold a an #mp on " #trial " for the " #sins " of his #ancestors ... There is also yet another call for #reparations ... Insanity.
#onlyfans are committing #corporate #suicide by #banning #sexual #content - the very thing that they built their company on: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/.. The reason for doing this is because #banks and #paymentprocessors have put pressure on them to remove it, just as they did with #tumblr and #pornhub ...
