they haven't read it but they can and most still chose not to because most Germans actually look down on that past. even your examples are outdated. you could find a copy of mean kampf right now faster than it took you to type those sentences. :dead:
shyt is on the google search results and you can read it for free, found it without trying. your joking brother.

censorship works? NO IT DOESN'T and you haven't presented one valid RELEVANT example
No, they did not read it for a simple reason : they could not: it was censored. You could not press it. It was censored. Contrary to your belief, everyone in Germany was not trying to read it because it was forbidden.

Since 2015, they read it because it's available again to the public. And it's pretty successful.

When you make something impossible to obtain or very hard to obtain, most people won't have it. Censorship works. that's why it's dangerous. If it wasn't, no one will care about it.

Yeah, I just noticed their email is in the draft release so I'm going to inquire whether they plan to go further and have streaming platforms restrict the same content to the island.

I glanced at it. Just looks like tv and radio

You just defeated your own argument. You are talking about censoring BROADCAST. People are getting music online.... :snoop:

Impossible? Not even a minor inconvenience. This won't change shyt. Up this thread in 1-2 or even 5 years. Nada.

No. That's no broadcast. Y'all need to accept this toothless political posturing for what it is.

Did I say somewhere that what Jamaica is doing is remedy? :dahell:

I keep saying that censorship only work if you have the mean to enforce it.

Yet we've seen the govt. of China block content in the past. And surely there exists a separate agency in JA which regulates internet use.

That's all it take.. I know brehs want a win but this ain't it. The government of China did more than cencor shyt they actively monitor and spy on their people online. They control most of the tools they use. From their social media platforms and so forth. Jamaica is going to make their own social media platforms and streaming platforms and have spies posted up in every online corner?

:comeon:

And I keep reiterating real change isn't forced. Black people have to change our POPULAR culture. Nothing else to it. It's a question of dignity and values which you think are applied by pressure rather than understanding. You gonna be stuck at that same place waiting for your whole life for force to do something will can only do.

You are committed to seeing this as posturing. I see it as an incremental step in the right direction. One of many different ways to address the issues.

Like I posted earlier, dudes have conflicting stances on agendas being promoted across broadcast media. The "alphabet soup" agenda on tv shows and commercials is a clear problem, but pro crime content on radio is no big deal.
That doesn't add up.

It's definitely a step in the right direction. the content that's being censored is a net negative.

Collective will is also materialized by rules. The same way an individual force himself to do or not do something, at the collective level, rules are made to change the trajectory of a group. That's why human groups created rules which authorized or not certain behaviors.

Culture is also those things. A culture also change in the things it does not allow.

Nobody said it's no big deal. I said the audience they are trying to protect is not tuned in there. I said the music as it is barely plays there. That's why it's posturing. You targeting mediums used by middle age plus people mostly. Are they the impressionable ones?

How many old heads in here even know that a lot of music breaks on tik tok now. Mufhukaz talking about radio censorship in 2022 :what:

Someone from and in Jamaica please chime in. What's playing on the radio today?
