The Return of Digg, a Star of an Earlier Internet Era

I was thinking about leaving it there, but I think if you asked someone flat out about their freedoms, they’d care.

In practice it’s, apparently, hard to notice when they’re under attack.

Well, they may say they care, but their actions are often not aligned with that.

While you’re not wrong, you have to keep in mind that there are actors who try very deliberately to hide the fact that they are removing freedoms.

Most people aren’t on the lookout for every reduction in freedom and, at least in the US, we have surprisingly few institutional and/or powerful guards against the erosion of freedoms.
