>>1 The lies and fakes you’re saying are because TV is fake when it leads people in a certain direction, whereas the internet has many different directions and it’s important that it’s a fair place where everything exists. So there’s no point in restricting or regulating freedom of speech based on certain beliefs.
Dogs, cats, and vegetables I’m sobbing that the prefectural government is getting even worse They were just taken off because they couldn’t do their jobs.
Governor Saito announces intention to have a third-party committee investigate “private information” of accuser made public by NHK’s Tachibana. Completely thrashed on Yahoo! comments. You scum of Hyogo Prefecture should listen to the opinions of the whole country.
In this day and age, talking about the truth on the internet is laughable. They probably went down a similar path over 10 years ago. Maybe they were in hibernation during that time.
Many commentators were saying it was a defeat, but they were just talking about how they were losing it. It was funny to see them admitting that they were trying to brainwash people.
