Seemingly nowpublic is being used for proganda spreading purposes. 
Propaganda is geared to hate are other people being annoyed by the Sri Lankan propaganda from both sides of the argument?
I don't normally take much notice but when one of these parties spreading propaganda drops some on my threads I begin to lose my cool. I thought nowpublic was about news collecting and citizen journalism and not a place for political agents or even terrorists to spread their propaganda.
The administration must know this is going on and it seemingly has got worse, surely its time to tell these trolls to stop plying their propaganda and hatred here on nowpublic. Or at least tone down their hatred and give more honest and sensible arguments.
Today I had to count to 10 and move on to another debate before I made myself look as bad as the person who trolled my threads.

Governments of powerful industrialized nations control the pipes. Sites such as NP are spammed with propaganda from all sides.
The answer is not more censorship.
Even worse is when these entities hack sites such as NP. I know it's going on. Only public awareness can keep government surveillance operations from misusing their "mission" to harass and censor their citizens via telecommunications.
I'm talking about many nations, not just the U.S., although as a constantly harassed U.S. citizen, I believe the U.S. intel/military/security complex and its array of contractors are prime offenders.
I'd rather put up with spam than see an anti-spam campaign be used as a pretext for still more censorship.

But spreading pure hate is against the policies of nowpublic. We are not talking about culling freedom of speech but hate trollism. Its being fed in a constant stream and easily identified for what it is. When it comes to freedom of speech we also have to define common sense.
Example:
20 articles saying Obama is a NAZI bombarding the threads in one day by the same person. The common sense factor would be one article would be fine. But 19 more not changing the subject matter much?
We have a guy feeding the samo, samo propaganda many times, of course he is using his rights of freedom of speech, he however is also invading the threads of other unrelated articles. There is such a thing as abusing freedom of speech.

Can you provide a link to the 20 articles saying Obama is a Nazi? I have posted many commentary pieces saying he is called a Nazi, because I am coming from various perspectives on it. But mine are attacking the Nazi sayers, not calling Obama a Nazi. where are these others? Thanks.
