Well that’s one way to see it.
The company has attracted controversy for reports of political corruption, cronyism, fraud, financial manipulation, and exploitation of its customers, Indian citizens, and natural resources.[11][119][13][14][120] The chairman of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani, has been described as a plutocrat

There are a few well known concentration camps in history, but those aren’t the only concentration camps we’ve seen.
Look up what the term actually means
I’ve seen this posted elsewhere, and while it’s a valid thing to talk about it distracts from the bigger issues
Others here have explained the difference between someone who’s taken as a prisoner (they are being held because of something they allegedly did) and someone who’s taken hostage (someone who’s held as security for some other purpose). From what I can tell, even Hamas isn’t saying the hostages are guilty of anything. It seems like those involved in the situation agree that the terminology is appropriate.
The more important discussion imo are:
There is also some more important discussion around terminology, such as one group being called “women” (implies humanity) and another “females” (more formal, scientific, and a term that’s also used for animals).
The bit that stood out to me was
We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion
It sounds like they threw in “Holocaust distortion” as an extra thing to make their stance sound more legitimate, since otherwise it sounds awful. Why would anyone ever get in trouble for “false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing” even if we assume it was “false”
Does that include a way for them to return after the conflict settles?
That’s the thing
Hamas is awful for putting military installations near civilian infrastructure, and the Israeli military is awful for bombing indiscriminately despite their advanced military tech and resources.
We don’t need to pick one or the other
I agree with unpinning entirely, it’s an odd fit
I’m not sure if slack has a new meaning, but it might be one of those misspellings where the person really means “flack”
“To give flack” fits the context here
That’s a good tip
Could we get a new pinned comment for this. Some of this is our of date now and it would be nice to discuss.
Apps, interfaces, browser extensions, scripts
atheists give you slack for being agnostic
I find that to be really odd behavior tbh. One of the issues with organized religion is when a group shuns or hates on someone for their religious/ spiritual views. That’s also something that can happen with atheism, even if it’s not really seen as a “religion”.
Just be accepting of other people
Yea that would have been a dealbreaker for me. I’ve used offline maps while traveling fairly often. That’s one of the main advantages of GPS, not needing to send any signals to determine your position. The device calculates it locally based the timing of info that arrives from GPS satellites
That is a current problem with Twitter as well:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/08/twitter-saudi-arabia-human-rights-abuses
Saudi authorities illegally requesting data from Twitter / flipping twitter employees to figure out who is posting opposing views. Some of which lead to arrests, torture, imprisonment, and death sentences.
al jazeera is a wholy qatari owned propoganda mouthpiece for ismalic jihadis
… yea lol what?
Al Jazeera is Qatari, and so I don’t go to them for content about Qatar in case there’s a bias. However it’s a pretty large organization and they do decent investigative work on stuff happening in South America, Africa, & Asia. New organizations pick topics they think the readers want to see, and so in Canada (and likely the US) there’s usually little to no coverage on stuff in these parts of the world. Al Jazeera puts out decent investigative pieces and documentaries about these places.
TLDR: Al Jazeera isn’t unbiased, and I avoid them on certain topics. However I DO go to them for other stuff. It’s definitely not a “mouthpiece for ismalic jihadis [sic]”
What happened in this article is a bad thing:
had his Facebook profile deleted by Meta 24 hours after the programme Tip of the Iceberg aired an investigation into Meta’s censorship of Palestinian content
I wanted to post here instead of on reddit. Reddit is large, and astroturfing on Reddit can affect everyone
