For example Telegram they have two app versions one in playstore where google can dictate what channels are allowed and one on their website where google can't force them to take down channels, so now Google will need to approve Telegram second app to be installed on Android?

The article doesn't even claim al-Sharif wasn't a Hamas operative. Such evidence of journalists being part of Hamas has surfaced before: https://x.com/EFischberger/status/1955682343337005467

Some are embedded media, for example journalists which raided Israel together with Hamas on October 7th.

They didn't raid Israel on 7 Oct, they raided own stolen homes.

Is that surprising or bad ?

Sure war is bad and killing people is bad, but can we stop acting like it's a choice ? Unfortunately, wars will happen as long as humans exist and it's much better to be on the winning side. So yeah, there are a lot of people building dashboards for killing people and it's not necessarily bad. I would even argue that it's much better than a lot of people whose work is to make kids and adults addicted to screens.

I know a nation need to be powerful to defend it self from evil but you don't have to be evil murdering millions of people because you don't like their faith.

One drink doesn't do that. It's a misconception pushed by people who don't know what they're talking about / have an axe to grind.

That being said: If you don't want to drink, don't. Life is too short to spend time with people who don't accept you for who you are and what you want to do.

One drink lead to another.

My understanding was in the US, they can openly criticize the government

You are saying that is inaccurate? Or you are talking about a different type of censorship?
