Is Google 'attacking the network' by censoring it's data and AI

Is Google 'attacking the network' by censoring it's data and AI results for political reasons? Is X. Is Facebook?

Whomever is censoring data which beforehand was freely written and sent to the network, is attacking the network, no exception. Even if the state does it, it is an attack on the network.

If a network is distributed like these are, then if you censor what data runs across it, even if you own the network, then you automatically in law, become a trusted third party much like we see with commercial banks. And a TTP has a fiduciary duty to protect its users. Which means it must cause them no harm or face the consequences.

So we reach an impasse here. Who defines what is protecting and what is not protecting, users? Is it the corporation who owns the network. The state who orders them. Or someone else? And who of these defines what is allowed to be sent to and registered on, the network?

Whatever. Whomever is censoring data which beforehand was freely written and sent to the network, is attacking the network, no exception. Even if the state does it, it is an attack on the network.

"attacking" is maybe too strong a word. But you get the point. Censorship might even be found illegal if taken through a civil law court. This is what the likes of Assange are still unwilling to accept. Largely because they want the world to be censorship resistant, only when it is their politics, dat and money at stake.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
