"Police state" search got censored in Italy
Hello, In recent years, the Italian government has been applying laws "to ensure security" considered by many different methods to restrict the freedom of citizens, easily condemn at will people considered hostile (as with the new law that allows to arrest anyone who tests positive for substances in the table of illegal substances while driving in any case, without the person being actually altered or alterable) and in fact making Italy more and more a police state. Until some time ago, in fact, searching for "police state" in Italian on Google (and also Bing) you could find pages and articles about it, while today the reference is timid on the part of Wikipedia, for the rest it refers to the concept of "police state" as "state's police", with a subtle but fundamental exchange of meaning. I cannot interpret this story if nothing else as an act of censorship in the search for a concept online. "stato di polizia" search: https://ibb.co/20G57Qqr (There is also a strong reference throughout the results to the concept of immigration, a topic dear to the current Italian government) "police state" search: https://ibb.co/gL2Vp21x "stato di polizia" news: https://ibb.co/wN4zGGdx "police state" news: https://ibb.co/SwvQLqXV We Italians have also lost many possibilities of defense against police abuse, after the elimination of the law against the crime of abuse of power. I have no idea how to effectively bring this issue to everyone's attention. 4 comments on Hacker News.
