New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was blasted for comparing free speech online to "weapons of war" in a recent speech to the U.N. that critics called "authoritarian." At the U.N. General Assembly on Friday, Ardern announced a new initiative "to help improve research and understanding of how a person’s online experiences are curated by automated processes," saying the work, done in partnership with companies and non-profits, will be "important in understanding more about mis- and disinformation online - A challenge that we must as leaders address."

What could cause such twisted thinking?
Was it the failure of her parents to pay for braces? The failure of New Zealand socialized medicine to provide for pastic surgery to pin her ears back into a normal configuration with her head?
Her man hands? (gentle reference to a Seinfeld episode.)
Her desperate need for psychiatric help?
I don't have the answer, but continue to believe that the act of control over speech that is correct is one of the craziest proposals I have ever heard.
And the question of when New Zealand - the name almost a pun, given what the girl prime minister said - and Australia went completely nuts remains unanswered.
One final question - how did the totl lockdown to keep Kung Fku out of your country work out, honey?

Oops. Pllastic, not pastic. (Son put linux on my new chrome book, and between the rwo systems nagging me and involuntarily correcting things, I'm ready to pitch the notebook into LakeErie.)

Have fun, New Zealand, as you become a dictatorship complete with "re-education camps" for those who do not comply.
But in this country, we have a constitution that we will die to protect and defend. And the 1st amendment of that constitution guarantees the freedom of speech -- whether crybaby snowflake lie-berals like it or not!!!!!!

Okay, I am going to say it. Get these radical lib women out of the political class. I don’t know what happens to women when they embrace liberalism, but it is not good. They become unhinged, are totally unreasonable and turn out to be totalitarians. They take the “Karen” philosophy to the nth degree, and are the most stringent and radical. Liberal women are a destructive force and should never be given political power.

Ardennes has proven herself to be a quasi dictator by her strong handed rule during Covid. If any ruler had done what she did , others would be calling her out on human rights abuses. She is no better than the leaders of Iran, North Korea, and Cuba

This creature is an un-be-freaking-lievable nazi commie. I used to think of NZ as a possible Safe Haven in case the US got too crazy - but it now looks like that would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The same goes for OZ. What a tragedy. What happened? How can Earth be rid of these invaders from outer space?

The 19th amendment; and whatever the International equivalents were, are the cancer that killed the World.
Prove me wrong.
Progressivism delenda est, for the good of the planet.

The UN? Shouldn't they be doing something to put an end to Russian invasion of Ukraine? Isn't that why they were formed?

Free speech was, in saner times, understood to be the primary thing that protected us from these totalitarian thugs. And now the totaliarian thugs pretend to be nice folks but they CANNOT PERMIT any disagreement with their massive lies that they perpetrate more and more on a relatively uninterested public.
