I’m sure anons have watched “The Flags of Our Fathers”, and how the US gov used thesecond pictureto raise money for war bonds! The first that rose the flag were never honored!

Our history is so much bullshit!

Flags of Our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)

The conflict: World War II

When director Clint Eastwood turned his attention to World War II, he focused on the story of the six servicemen who were famously photographed raising an American flag on Iwo Jima only to grow disillusioned when they found themselves used as human props in fundraising drives back home. Eastwood crafted some memorably potent battle sequences and became so engrossed in the story that he directed a second film, Letters from Iwo Jima, nearly simultaneously, portraying the battle from the perspective of Japanese troops. That film, shot almost entirely in Japanese, was nominated for Best Picture.

EU threatens to ban Twitter (Good Luck with That EU)

The platform has until August 25 to comply with the bloc’s new disinformation law

Twitter will be banned across the EU if it fails to abide by the new regulations on fighting disinformation, French Digital Transition and Telecommunications Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday. The warning comes as the European bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA) is due to fully take effect on August 25.

“Disinformation is one of the gravest threats weighing on our democracies,” Barrot told France Info radio. “I hope that Twitter complies with the European rules by August 25. Otherwise, it will no longer be welcome in Europe. Twitter, if it repeatedly doesn’t follow our rules, will be banned from the EU.”

The DSA mandates that search engines and large platforms, such as Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok, enact measures to mitigate “disinformation or election manipulation, cyber violence against women, or harms to minors online.” The European Commission can fine offenders up to 6% of annual worldwide turnover.

EU Internal Markets Commissioner Thierry Breton announced last week that Twitter had pulled out of the bloc’s voluntary Code of Practice on Disinformation.

“But obligations remain. You can run but you can’t hide,” Breton said, adding that DSA’s terms will be “ready for enforcement” when the compliance deadline expires in August.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter last year, promised to rid the platform of disinformation and hateful content, but also uphold the freedom of speech and offer more transparency. “This platform is hell bent on being the least untrue source of information,”Musk wrote on Twitter in early May.

At the same time, earlier this month Twitter fulfilled the Turkish government’s request to restrict access to some accounts in the weeks leading up to the presidential and general election in the country. Musk defended this decision by saying that he wanted to avoid Twitter getting shut down entirely in Türkiye.

“We can’t go beyond the laws of a country … If we have a choice of either our people [going] to prison or we comply with the laws, we will comply with the laws,” Musk told the BBC last month.
