Richard, Elena, Scarlett & two additional callers contribute to this Roundtable. We consider the end to Net Neutrality in the U.S. and what changes the repeal may bring. Europe’s so-called “tough new data law,” the General Data Protection Regulation (G.D.P.R.), is likewise discussed regarding the impact and potential results. Useful ways of keeping tabs on internet censorship and transmission laws are mentioned. The discussion expands to consider both effective and ineffective forms of local activism. Options and alternatives to consider in the event of an extended Internet shutdown are addressed in terms of maintaining data transmissions. Some additional topics include: local politics, rallying points, censorship incentives, race-conscious targeting, ineffective meetups, effective strategies and more.

Taxpayer assoc. in CA https://www.hjta.org/ Proposition 13 was the proposition that put limits on property tax increases for homeowners. Predictably, legislators & bureaucrats have been finding ways to circumvent the limits.
Thanks for hosting the show Richard. To the caller who said we should be reporting videos on Youtube: the Jews aren’t really reporting videos. Google’s using AI algorithms to flag many of them automatically. I discovered this recently when I setup a brand new channel and uploaded a video titled ‘Hitler’s speech to the German Youth”, almost straight away it was shadow banned for offensive content.
