• Oppression of Speech

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Sat Jul 27 03:49:45 2019
    Hello Everybody,

    he appears to be welcomed with open arms / open legs.

    Welcomed is not equal to allowed, mind you.

    Lee is posting in an echo, and from a BBS, legally covered by Swedish BF>law. In Sweden we still allow a lot of leniency regarding freedom of BF>speech.

    Albeit, under the pressure of the most oppressive country in the
    world, we are slowly losing that freedom, so it might be worth it
    to hold your breath on this one...

    21. Australia

    With recent AFP raids on media outlets that seemed to have political motivations, I'm surprised Australia still raites this highly. :/


    ... Don't worry about the line noise. It's just koalas fornicating.
