The U.S. Naval Academy relieved the commandant of midshipmen on Monday, five months after he assumed the position, the service academy announced. Capt.

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. In June, Ofcom outlined its proposals to expand its censorship role in a consultation document.  The consultation came and went with little media coverage. The document proposes the use of “proactive technologies” to restrict access to certain online content, including live streaming, and to censor information that does not align with the government’s agenda. Ofcom’s plan aims to deny people access to information until it has been “checked by services”, effectively acting as a gatekeeper of truth and suppressing dissenting voices. Ofcom’s Plan To Extend Its Censorship Role By…
