My wife has experienced Facebook's new content moderation policies first hand. She shared a post about a *free* seminary on peace initiatives from a feminist perspective... and it was flagged as spam and automatically removed. She appealed and the appeal was promptly denied, most likely by an automated system. I guess the concept of "feminism" scares the hell out of their executives.

Email leaked to Ken Klippenstein telling NOAA employees that their course material can’t contain ANY of the following words in order to remain complaint with Trump’s executive order on DEI.
The party than ran on freedom and speech and avoiding censorship now actively censoring people.
Every word breaks my heart… but I want to pause on the inclusion of “empathy”.
The fact that they can’t use the word empathy is a perfect encapsulation of this whole administration.

"The majority of ALL book bans in the US were initiated by just 11 people…Book banning is NOT a movement…In most [states] it only takes a single complaint to have a strip a book from the library. Just one…Look at what is happening in St. James, FL where ONE person got twenty three books removed. Or in Clay County District schools where ONE person forced almost thirty books off shelves."

#Tor releases WebTunnel, a new type of Tor bridge that mimics HTTPS traffic to help users bypass #censorship by hiding connections in plain sight.
Dear mastodon.social, why are you hiding/limiting @LALegault’s account?
Is it policy on mastodon.social to hide/limit pro-Palestinian / anti-genocide accounts?
(Someone there wanna check my account also, just in case?)

The #KOSA Bill threatens to censor online content under the guise of trying to "protect the children". 🤔
The bill's vague language opens the door to dangerous legal interpretations that will do more to push censorship on the American public than protect the nation's youth. 🚫

EFF Analysis: The Broad, Vague #RESTRICT Act Is a Dangerous Substitute for Comprehensive #Data #Privacy Legislation eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/broa… The proposal "authorizes penalties, including 25 years of prison time, for any person who brings #TikTok into the U.S., whether by use of a #VPN or downloading it while in another country." This could potentially outlaw US use of the #Tor Browser that the US helped develop to bypass #censorship in unfree countries.

This bill is being called a “TikTok ban,” but it’s more complicated than that. The bill would give more power to the executive branch and remove many of the commonsense restrictions that exist under the Foreign Intelligence Services Act and the Berma…Electronic Frontier Foundation

Interesting way of putting it.
Are you the only moderator in that instance? in such a case minimum should be to leave the decision to someone else. If you decide for yourself about the moderation of yourself then I believe its pretty much an autocratic situation.

Somebody reported me to myself, y’all. How’s your day going? :)
Hint: if you don’t like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.
(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)

CZ.NIC, the association managing the #Czech #domain registry just removed .CZ domains of several websites spreading Russian #propaganda.
Without any judicial decision. Just because the government and security agencies asked. That's a slippery slope and not the right way to fight #disinformation, sorry.
