Russian regime #blacklists #UC #Berkeley, leaving #Russian international #scholars criminalized and confused about potential return travel post #edu activity to visit family & friends.

There is absolutely no reason they should be permitted on any #email #blacklists checkers.

"For the past two decades, the #doxxing lists have drawn their power by diffusing an ambient sense of fear through the individuals being targeted and the anxious institutions that employed and educated them [...] But now, it’s clear that the list-makers have been granted an expansive new mandate: to serve as a key node in the enforcement of the U.S. government’s new citizenship regime."

I'd send an email to your postmaster if I through you would ever read it 😤

It's a literal extortion scam!

Tell #Congress : No to Internet #Blacklists

#FADPA , and other proposals in the works, would force internet service providers (ISPs) and domain name system ( #DNS ) providers to block sites, including U.S. sites, based on one-sided #copyright accusations, even when those sites also host lawful content.

Site-Blocking Legislation Is Back. It’s Still a Terrible Idea

More than a decade ago, #Congress tried to pass #SOPA & #PIPA —two bills that would have allowed the gov & #copyright holders to shut down entire websites based on allegations of piracy. The #backlash was immediate & massive. Internet users, #FreeSpeech advocates, & tech companies flooded lawmakers with protests, … in an “Internet Blackout” on Jan 18, 2012. Turns out, Americans don’t like gov-run #blacklists
