Just to reiterate I want it to be clear that this particular board can be used to discuss anything that anyone feels relevant, even if it has nothing to do with homeopathy. So any news topics, any issues that cause concern, can be aired here - feel free

Just to reiterate I want it to be clear that this particular board can be used to discuss anything that anyone feels relevant, even if it has nothing to do with homeopathy. So any news topics, any issues that cause concern, can be aired here - feel free Here we could really discuss freedom of speech. Is that one of the problems why people don't register and don't even want to leave a 'like' if they like a post? It is not just about this particular forum. Is there anything we could look at as a general problem? I would really like to hear what we face in online communication.

Anyone who has ever downloaded what info is collected about you by the large tech companies that run the popular social media platforms has reason for concern. Especially in countries like the USA where you have to opt IN rather than OUT of privacy protections. And repeatedly check to see if they haven't reverted back with the latest update to the platform. I'm pragmatic about the illusion of privacy and realistic about the risks of "free" speech online. Right now, however, at this point in history, I find myself being very cautious about what I post online. I don't know who runs proboards and what info they collect. I'd like to know more, and should have researched before now. So, I'm thrilled to have this place to learn, but I think long and hard about what I post here (and elsewhere). And I'm not particularly suspicious or paranoid, by nature. It's just the times we live in.

I agree mostly although in the past I have been a rebel as far as being outspoken is concerned, mainly because I care more about the issues than what might be hurled at me for being outspoken. But it got bad on Facebook for sure. I don’t know about the baseline politics of pro boards set up but I do know they have a policy about so called fake news on so called COVID and probably vaccinations. We haven’t tested that yet. Freedom of speech is a complete misnomer is all I know for sure.
