minus-squareMelvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoSo I feel like I’m now hearing more successful pushes for censorship through this stuff. Just last week I learned how Texas has a bill that makes it so if anyone ever invested in green technology that they wouldn’t be allowed https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/24/texas-boycott-companies-fossil-fuels/
minus-squareNotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI saw a post saying /r/period required an age check. They’re gonna censor as much as they can with this.
minus-squareSkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoAh, yes. As we all know, periods start at 18, when you’re a legal adult. It’s illegal to have periods before then

minus-squareZombie@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoHere’s one way to help: https://kiwix.org/en/about-us/#our-story Download Wikipedia to your own device. If it’s ever blocked or taken down you still have access and can help share information with others. You can download different versions (e.g. without images) and different languages based on your needs. There’s other resources available via kiwix as well but I’ve not really explored them to be honest
