> Where do we draw the line in this political "filter culture" that's now apparently become the norm on Lichess? When I look at the list of events in broadcast HOW can I know it's been filtered due to some politically, personally, or morally motivated reason? There is no notice on top the page in lichess.org/broadcast to let people know that some events have been intentionally filtered.

When I see the broadcast page, how can I know you didn't filter Israeli events because you disagree with their political policies? How can I know you didn't filter Russian events because of someone decided that's the right thing to do?
I explained some of it in the other thread already, but to mention it here again: We feature every tournament that we are able to get sources for and if we don't feature a tournament for certain reasons (because of an official boycott for example, see lichess.org/blog/Yie1MhIAACAAk6OQ/lichess-statement-on-the-war-in-ukraine and lichess.org/blog/ZNTniBEAACEAJZTn/breaking-the-silence), we always publish that and are transparent about it.
