Censorship is boring

Here quote from Civil.ge newsletter:

Nodar Meladze, head of the news service at another opposition-leaning channel, TV Pirveli, said the Communications Commission (ComCom), Georgia’s state media regulator, “is attempting” to “prohibit” the channel from using the terms “prisoners of conscience,” “oligarch,” and “political prisoners” in news broadcasts. The case appears to be one of those in which the regulator targets opposition-leaning TV channels under the 2025 laws that granted the agency more powers to control the contents of the broadcasters.

This is how censorship looks like it is pure form. “Georgian Dream” via control over state bodies like “ComCom”, local communications regulator, attempts to forbid words like “oligarch”. Meanwhile:

1. oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili become billionaire in Russian Federation in 1990s.
2. He is informal ruler of Georgia country who do not hold any state positions but have full control over parliament, government and courts.
3. He performs this control being boss of pro-Kremlin¹ terrorists gang² masquerading as a political party “Georgian Dream”.
4. This gang captured power via disinformation campaign in 2012.
5. Spreading this information is not so safe in Georgia country as it was 5 or 6 years ago.

But I do this anyway, because formally this is my duty as citizen of Georgia country. Article 78 of Georgian constitution demands from me to do anything possible to reach goal of European integration of Georgia country, and it means exactly EU and NATO integration. This goal matches my personal political preferences as well.

1. The decisions “Georgian Dream” makes for a while are beneficial for Kremlin ↩︎
2. Usage of military-grade chemicals like camite against peaceful protestors resembles act of terrorism done for sole purpose to impose atmosphere of fear and suppress protests. This is example of the state terrorism in my opinion. ↩︎
