I was more pissed off with mobile phone networks providing customers locations to the government during the lockdowns from home.

So the Government is monitoring Covid disinformation and the HRs claim its a breach of freedom of speech?

There's no denying them their right to express their opinions but people should be held responsible for it, especially if they are elected representatives. That's what seems to be their problem with the whole thing.

If only we were living in Russia all these people spreading misinformation about covid and public health would be removed from the internet and packed off somewhere quiet cold .

Old news. Sure the so-called "Steele dossier" was merely a collation of my posts on here

you make it sound so reasonable.

but this is the state spying on citizens and ultimately (one example) we had a senator (Senator Gerard Craughwell) flagged by this crowd and reported to the social media overlords - then his speech flagged - for a factual comments he made in parliament .

That is very worrying - flagging awkward questions or dissent as disinformation is poor form but flagging speech from our parliament is plain wrong and very worrying about the state of free speech in Ireland.

if you don't see the problem , then that's on you.

the very same Healy-Rea's who roared at the government about closing pubs and insisting that the publican's were a responsible bunch who would ensure everyone's safety if they were allowed open - except the reality was a free for all in Danny's place.

Anything that was done to address dangerous mis-information was well spent considering the net result was a 90+% uptake in the vaccine. Meaning that the government's message was stronger than that of the grifters and online agitators

I have scanned through some of the information requested data. A lot of it is not about missinformation. It's more about people who disagree with restrictions. Basically being critical of government, whether it be in Ireland or abroad

gript 😪

Your understanding of the tech industry in Ireland is bad and you should feel bad.

the senator made his comment in the chamber . One of our houses of parliament.

It wasn't josey and his talking dog ranting on facebook, there is a marked difference.

If you can't see that , then you are blind.

A gript reader? why yes I do read it , is that some kind of slur? you probably need to try harder cos if that is the best you can do , it's pretty moronic of a dig

What does it say about me? ‘Preferred media’ what does that mean?

Is Gript your ‘preferred media’ ? If so - why ? Is it that the echo chamber has a better sound when reading it. Gript’s target market isn’t me anyway … maybe you are in their target market .. and if so .. it’s your choice and freedom to read whatever you want … but don’t expect others to have the same opinion as yourself.

This is a quote from Danny in the article the OP posted. Is Danny Healy-Rae the best leader Kerry has to offer?

“I never thought the Government would resort to seeing what people are saying,” he said

No echo chamber for me , I read them all tbh from the highbrow to the tabloids

i like any media that does analysis and asks questions of the government and other agencies. Gript does that. the others in Ireland sadly rarely do anymore.

to dismiss a publication because you don't like John McGuirk et al...is a stupid on your part and a tiresome argument to hear. I see this a lot any report that is raised is dismiss not cos it's untrue but cos people (like you) don't like the source which is narrowminded imo

if you can refute anything in the article , please do

You might not like their politics and nobody is demanding you do - but unless the articles are lies then its a fair source.

Anyway I'm not here to defend gript - i'm here to express dismay at the state agencies and their behaviour here. The thing did happen and it was very undemocratic to flag dissent . Some people think that is ok , i don't - esp given speech in our parliament was flagged

they (not you but whippet etc..) have no rebuttal so choose to attack the source - an ad hominem I guess. says a lot about them and their narrow view.
