After a woman was imprisoned In France for calling Macron garbage, protestors brought out this dummy of Macron in a garbage can.

Yes its actually illegal to insult the president of France. Men with guns will come to your house and arrest you if you do.

To Call Attention To The Missing And Murdered Indigenous Women Epidemic, Auli'i Cravalho Wore A Red Handprint On Her Mouth To A TV Show Premiere 🍓 🍓🍓🍓

"Originating in Canada (though relevant in other countries), the movement calls attention to the disproportionate number of Native American women who are victims of murder, rape, kidnapping, and abuse."

❤According to the National Crime Information Center, there were 5,295 reports of missing Native American women and girls in 2020 alone.

💛 In Canada, a 2016 estimate suggested 4,000 Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been murdered in the past 30 years — though the number has risen since then. A 2019 report stated that Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or go missing than any other demographic.

🖤 Indigenous women are 10 times more likely to be kidnapped or abducted and it is incredibly frustrating that there are not enough cases that are actually followed up with, and it points to police and how they are not using their funds correctly,' she said while on the red carpet.

🤍 Violence against Indigenous women has reached unprecedented levels on tribal lands in the U.S. and in Alaska Native villages.

❤ More than four in five American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence, and more than one in two have experienced sexual violence, according to the Indian Law Resource Center.

💛The Amnesty website website describes No More Stolen Sisters as a human rights response to discrimination and violence against Indigenous women.

🖤 'Indigenous women and girls have the right to be safe and free from violence,' it reads on the website cover page. 'When a woman is targeted with violence because of her gender or Indigenous identity, her fundamental rights are abused. And when state authorities do not offer her adequate protection because of her gender or Indigenous identity, those rights are violated.'

🤍 An Indigenous woman or girl in Canada, regardless of age or socio-economic status, are at least three times more likely to experience violence and at least six times more likely to be murdered, than any other woman or girl in Canada, the non-profit organization declared.

And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em"

I think what might get lost on a lot of Westerners is that the Western internet is not the internet. What I mean by that is: the internet, widely, is already regionalized into de-facto intranets, to an effect. It's similar to how the Fedi has certain segments and clusters unto themselves while still remaining in federation---it's just that peoples and groups often tend to "stick to their own", especially when geopolitical, cultural, and language barriers exist.

Not everything is Meta, Twitter, CNN, Uber, Google, Netflix, Amazon, et al.. There are other similar or parallel foreign companies that exist globally serving their own domestic or regional clients. Surprisingly (sarcasm), users within those domestic or regional markets tend to utilize those services over Western counterparts since those services provide better or more relevant products and services to them. So, again, in many respects, the internet is already regionalized or, rather, comprised of de-facto intranets tied together to form a greater, collective internet.

Regarding the "great firewall of China", it primarily exists to make it extremely difficult, if not legally impossible, for foreign companies to threaten Chinese domestic IT markets---it essentially obstructs or prevents companies like Amazon to threaten domestic Chinese companies like Alibaba or companies like Google to threaten Baidu. Quoting Deng Xiaoping:

If you open the window for fresh air, you have to expect some flies to blow in.

The GFW is metaphorically putting a screen over the open window. It's function has more or less exhausted itself as this point as Chinese IT giants have secured dominance within their regional markets, yet it remains in place. One can consider it an "unfair" trade practice and it probably is, but that's its root purpose and function: a barrier to trade and a protectionist policy to shield (then) fledging Chinese markets from being dominated by foreign behemoths.

What it is not is an all-encompassing, surveillance-focused constellation of legislations and departments meant to annihilate privacy and security with heavy-handed fists and rows of sharp teeth like the United States's proposed "RESTRICT Act" here, whose sole ostensible purpose is not to provide a barrier to trade, but rather to "secure national security interests" (we all know what that means).

The GFW is virtually unenforced as far as average Chinese citizens are concerned. VPNs are plenty. Access outside of the GFW is trivially easy to circumvent and its circumvention by PRC citizens is irrelevant as far as the government of the PRC is concerned...because it isn't designed to be apart of a giant surveillance and control panopticon like the Patriot Act and this proposed RESTRICT Act are meant to be implemented. The GFW is there to keep Western IT giants out. These American acts are designed to provide the NSA with infinite quantities of data and toothed to put individual US citizens in prison.
