    This, from the reliable Wall Street Apes on X. I'd be interested in input from any of our California based members who maybe haven't had the means to relocate elsewhere, whether there's been any discernible impact here:

    -----------
    HOLY CR*P 🚨 The day Charlie Kirk was killed and everyone was focused on that, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats rammed through an online censorship bill

    PENALTIES

    - If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000.
    - For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million

    “SB 771, passing the Assembly on September 10th, 10 days ago. Then on September 16th, passing the Senate completely under our noses, which means right now, all that stands between complete statewide government censorship is Gavin Newsom's signature”

    “I exaggerating about how bad this bill is? No, I am not. Here is the actual bill. You can pull this up yourself on the state's website.

    The Bill's called SB 771. It's called Personal Rights Liability, Social Media Platforms.

    In Section 2, Title 23 of the Bill, it defines the penalties for breaking this new California law

    - If you post something on social media anywhere online that the state, the State of California deems to be hateful, there's a penalty for that reckless violation, a civil penalty of up to $500,000
    - For an intentional, knowing or willful violation, a civil penalty of up to $1 million.

    That is the definition of the state controlling speech, folks.

    — What type of speech is California trying to police here? Well, let's read from the Bill. It says, "This bill protects against online harassment, particularly when directed at historically marginalized groups."

    “the State of California's actively passing UK style laws that will fine you for saying the wrong thing. Pretty wild. And this bill is completely done, folks. It's passed in the House, it's passed in the Senate. All that's left is Gavin Newsom signing it into law”
    “If a man does not keep pace with [fall into line with] his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” - Thoreau

    • It's WORSE than they're telling you in the U.K. | Redacted with Clayton Morris:

    The United Kingdom arresting more people for social media posts overnight... a woman awakened at 2 in the morning to find police at her door again... over social media posts that she's made. And now the move towards a total 1984 style surveillance state is moving at lighting speed with the rollout of a digital ID for everyone in England. Making it mandatory.

    Just a heads up: if you're using Imgur as an image host, know that your images won't be visible or viewable by members in the UK. Instead we see this:

    Name:  imgur_122805.jpg
Views: 541
Size:  19.5 KB

    It would be 'desirable', therefore, if at all possible, to use an alternative host for posting images on Avalon to ensure all members can see the image or graphic in question. Many such hosts are available. My recommendation: https://vgy.me/

    Tintin posted about this elsewhere. This is the general thrust:

    Quote Posted by Tintin (here)
    Imgur blocks access to UK users after regulator warned of fine: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo

    Effective September 30th
    Image-hosting platform Imgur has blocked people in the UK from accessing its content.

    Imgur is used by millions to make and share images such as memes across the web, particularly on Reddit and in online forums.

    But UK users trying to access Imgur on Tuesday were met with an error message saying "content not available in your region" - with Imgur content shared on other websites also no longer showing.

    The UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), said it recently notified the platform's parent company, MediaLab AI, of plans to fine Imgur after probing its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data.

    The BBC has approached MediaLab AI for comment.

    A help article on Imgur's US website, seen by the BBC, states that "from September 30, 2025, access to Imgur from the United Kingdom is no longer available".

    "UK users will not be able to log in, view content, or upload images. Imgur content embedded on third-party sites will not display for UK users."
    "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."
    ~ Jimi Hendrix

    Pavel Durov quote:

    "I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. We’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time".

    MintPress News

    David Ellison — son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison — is reportedly preparing a formal bid to merge Warner Bros., HBO, and CNN.

    If approved, it would mark one of the largest media consolidations in recent years.

    Larry Ellison, among the world’s wealthiest tech figures, has been a major donor to Israeli organizations and defense initiatives, according to public filings.

    Analysts say this latest round of mergers, alongside ongoing efforts to purchase other platforms such as TikTok, reflects the growing concentration of global media power in a few hands — raising concerns about how ownership shapes editorial independence.
