Pretty sure they mean nekandro.

Aside from the obvious privacy issues, which are definitely the main problems here, it isn't just users that behave differently. I've got several bans on Reddit that were literal bullshit, like saying a fascist Italy should be kicked out of NATO and the EU. Apparently this is "spreading hate", worthy of a permanent ban, despite the fact that both institutions require democratic foundations for their member states. Mods and admins are just as ridiculous, be it out of malice or simply incompetency. And once you're banned, there's nothing you can do. You can try to appeal but those are in almost all cases denied too.

But it also goes very much against the basic principles on what the internet was founded on. If we put some heavy identifiable restrictions onto internet accessibility then that's a very powerful tool of oppression. Maybe you trust you current government enough to handle that, right now. I personally don't. But even then, you never know what the next one will do. Tools of oppression like this, or AI based surveillance, could strangle any sort of meaningful resistance before it even gains the slightest bit of traction. Just look at how many far right governments had been gaining votes or even got into power over the last decade. Do you really trust those people to handle such tools with the needed responsibility?

Just because he might've been still "alive" at the point of "surgery", doesn't mean he actually survived the procedure.

Thank god for the big red circle and arrow. I would've totally missed it otherwise.

That's a fucking boomer shirt if I ever saw one.

"Damaged" ... I mean sure, it's technically correct but that ship is going nowhere but the scrapyard.

Dunno. They typically use car bombs or guns to take out targets but I'm not even sure why they'd target him. He has no influence anymore whatsoever. I suspect it might've been a warning from the Kreml.

I always wondered if he went full extremist deliberately to get kicked out of his position.

The absolute majority of my clothes is 100% cotton. I get jackets and stuff being synthetic, but how often if at all do you even wash them unless you're going hiking a lot of whatever? And yes, it's absolutely possible to get away from a lot of this stuff. Just like it is also complete bullshit to claim that wind turbines are major contributors for microplastics. That's literally flat Earth levels of stupid.
