Direct government censorship of the Internet has become a reality thanks to the Digital Services Act.
Our right to freedom of expression is freedom or death, we must fight the powerful!
– Chuck D, rapper, Public Enemy
Once a government commits itself to the principle of silencing the voice of the opposition, there is only one path for it to take, and that is the path of ever more repressive measures until it becomes a source of terror for all its citizens and creates a country , where everyone lives in fear.
– Harry Truman, 33rd President of the United States
Internet censorship has been getting worse for years, but we've just crossed a threshold that will take things to a whole new level. On August 25th, a new law called the “Digital Services Act” came into force in the European Union (EU). Under this new law, European bureaucrats can order major technology companies to censor any content deemed “illegal,” “disinformation,” or “hate speech.” These new content rules are so vague that they could apply to just about anything.
If you post something they don't like, they have the power to delete it.
Even if you don't live in the EU, they can have your content removed because someone in the EU might see it.
If freedom of speech is taken away from us, we will be led silently like sheep to the slaughter.
– George Washington, 1st President of the United States
More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
