At the same time, Lithuanian @CG_Trader accuses 3D designers from #Russia and #Belarus for supporting war crimes with taxes. Doubtful that even if we paid taxes (but we don't and even can't due sanctions), this is comparable to how much #EU pays #Putin!
€15 billions paid #EU since the beginning of #war in #Ukraine. One day of war cost for #Putin ~$1 billion. Thus Europe sponsored 15/25 days of this war! Their hands are on the elbow in the blood!
#Lithuania pays €8,2 billions to #Putin per year. Thus, #CGTrader as Lithuanian company should close their business and stop paying taxes instead of discrediting their partners, hiding behind dubious "morality".
This bullshit affects everyone who stuck in Russia, not only Russian citizens. However, #CGTrader's logic accuses each of us of financing bloody murders. While in any case we cannot pay taxes due to the sanction, and this has nothing to do with suspension of products!
Recent events highlight alarming trends of #censorship and politically-motivated attacks on livelihoods in the #online #world. The decision by #Pornhub to freeze payments to Mia Khalifa and send her money to #Israel aid funds over her political views sets a troubling precedent of using financial leverage to control speech. This case echoes a wider pattern emerging globally, where #ideology is weaponized to undermine dissenting voices.
Since the COVID pandemic began, many have raised concerns about the unchecked power of public pressure and cancel culture to silence opinions, often arbitrarily. Small #businesses suffered immensely from prohibitions, while large corporations emerged relatively unscathed, despite equal responsibility to bear the costs.
Similarly, when the Russia-Ukraine war started in 2022, tech companies violated agreements with Russian and Belarusian partners, even resorting to blackmail and intimidation of Russian customers. Justified as opposing Russian aggression, these actions directly damaged individuals financially and eliminated competitors under a supposedly noble pretext.
Now with the Israel-Palestinian conflict, a comparable tendency has arisen, fueled by speculative claims that cryptocurrency financed Israel's invasion, supposedly facilitated by Russia. Despite the lack of evidence, public anger is preemptively directed at uncontrolled crypto exchanges, in an attempt to control them.
In essence, realizing their lack of control over information and finance this past decade, governments seem to utilize wars as opportunities to manipulate public emotion and irrationality. Independent power structures are treated as threats. Organizations like s.c Center for Countering Digital Hate emerge to restrain internet freedom, acting as information gatekeepers to impose external agendas.
Protecting people's careers and livelihoods from being held hostage to political slogans is vital for a free society. We must strive for stability, fairness and merit-based judgment in financial and professional realms, resisting the dangerous encroachment of censorship and ideological manipulation. Open debate and resistance to politically-weaponized attacks on incomes are essential to preserve #freedom.
I rarely post anything on Facebook, but I published this post there. And yesterday, my account was blocked, supposedly because I accessed data that I don't have access to, or I copied some data. I don't see any REAL reasons, except for this post. A coincidence?
#Subscription and rental models have been aggressively promoted as necessary for #businesses to make a profit. But recent events have shown us the negative consequences of turning big tech into mere weapons, affecting unwanted groups and even entire countries.
The #COVID-19 #pandemic and the #war in #Ukraine have revealed how governments can use these technologies as tools to control and manipulate populations. Anything can be shut down for anyone - their car, bank account, software, and even their motorcycle safety vest.
So, to the advocates of #copyright and property rights, is this really what you're willing to accept? Are you willing to deprive consumers of their #property rights in exchange for corporate control? It's time to rethink the balance between corporate interests and consumer #rights.
Seems that #Europe is becoming like the #Russian #Federation in last ten years. But no, it's old-good #communism! Blah-blah-blah, #Trump is too dangerous to use #Twitter. Really? Is he very, very dangerous? How many people died after he returned to Twitter? I was accused of financing murders a couple of months ago, and on this basis my goods were removed from stores in Europe, although I don’t even pay taxes.
But the meaning is completely different, they will say anything to convince you to give them your #freedom and money!

The return of Donald Trump to Twitter shows why we desperately need new regulation of social media and online speech. Freedom of speech is vital but it must be balanced against keeping other people safe to protect our democracy and society.
Trump's actions have put people at risk from hate crimes and physical violence and he encouraged an attempt to overthrow the democratically elected US government on 6 January. We already know it could happen again if he is allowed back.
He should not be given access to a huge platform to continue spreading hate and undermining democracy without at the very least signing a binding code of conduct leading to his immediate removal if broken.

#Twitter blocked all my five accounts, and now I can't get access to them due “unsupported phone number”. Thanks, #Elon.😔 But, I'm not discouraged, I have already registered on #GAB! #Marketplaces, branded #Mastodon #privacy options, 8 images per post, absolute #freedom for any sort of people to scream, and Jewish Vampires. Looks like perfect place to stay and work in actual mad reality.🤭
