Let’s all do that

A friendly reminder that the act of doxxing is not illegal. Neither is collating information. Nothing ICE List does is illegal.

It's just a fundamental threat to the current administration and the billionaire class.

Reddit is removing icelist links as well.

..for the land of the free..

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 hours ago

The people who know least what freedom is, because they’ve been convinced freedom to be an ignorant asshole is the same thing as freedom from an oppressive upper class.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 187 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

People are claiming reddit is doing it as well.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 4 hours ago

reddit has been trying to help bots/propaganda astroturf anti-trump, anti-republican content for the whole last year. i have heard there is significant amount of comment and post removals over it, and some bans.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 42 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I'm curious as to just how easy it'd be to get around the censorship.

Like, just find one article from a news outlet that links the site, and share that article.

Or otherwise share a fediverse link to a post to the site.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 12 points 7 hours ago

It's not about hiding it, it's about bending knee and placating tyrants.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 19 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I thought fediverse stuff was getting blocked on reddit too.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 36 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Only if it portrays Lemmy in a positive light. You can criticize our toxicity and left-leaning political biases as much as you like in r/RedditAlternatives though:-P.

People who do that truly don't actually want an alternative, huh?

They just want Reddit under new management

I don't think we're particularly toxic, insult matches between MLs and other lefties aside and even then it's usually infinitely better than your average 4chan thread.

Then again Hexbear being blocked by so many instances prolly helps.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

Narrative control is entirely in the hands of who can hand out bans.

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago

Looks like it's getting close to the Streisand kiss of death.

[–] idefix@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Wasn't there some kind of E2E encryption on WhatsApp? If true, how do you block users from sending a link?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

On Tuesday morning, WIRED verified that posting links to the site was blocked on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. WIRED also confirmed that links can still be sent on WhatsApp, another Meta-owned product.

Why do you say they are blocking in on WhatsApp?

[–] idefix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Because I only read the title

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The title doesn't say anything about WhatsApp so I guess you just skimmed the title :D

It's ok, I know everyone does it.

[–] idefix@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

I was hallucinating! I was convinced WhatsApp was in the title. Sorry about that

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Kilom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

There is. You could block client-side.

[–] extremeboredom@lemmy.world 68 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

You mean icelist.is? It's pretty easy to remember. It's also pretty easy to just print it out on a ton of little business cards and just start leaving them in public places. Putting them in library books. On the tables in waiting rooms. In fact, I'll bet it's pretty easy to spray paint on just about any surface...

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

What is this? All I see is *******.**

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 44 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You talking about icelist.is? Oh yeah I know that site

[–] extremeboredom@lemmy.world 31 points 9 hours ago

It's the hottest site, all my friends are talking about icelist.is!

[–] engene@piefed.ca 19 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

People need to get off their dependence on Meta! Its support of Trump was my cue to leave immediately!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago

facebook is where they capture older people to be conservatives, threads?

tiktok is where the meat is for gen z, they need that future supply.

[–] evol@lemmy.today 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Unironically I think people are too addicted to algos to ever move. The true opioid of the masses. These companies could fund the next holocaust and people would just complain about it... on instagram.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 43 minutes ago

These companies could fund the next holocaust

Gaza right now is being targeted to be remade into a zionist theme park.

It's not just ICE that is the enemy. Treat them all the same. And GTFO their apps.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 13 points 9 hours ago

They are behaving as an extension of this anti-democratic, crime & coverup administration, and should be treated as such.

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

when i left they were blocking everything but slop posts.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 29 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Literally 1984.

Funny that we have used that so much and watered it down, people can’t take it seriously now it’s actually true.

The government is intervening here. Whatever I guess.

[–] dandylion@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Do we have a 1984 bingo chart yet?

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 hours ago

One more reason for the rest of the Fediverse to block Threads itself then.

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If you’re still using Meta products you deserve everything you get

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

or people subscribed to PARAMOUNT +just for shitty nutrek, equally complicit, since ellison controls nbc too.
