#AI Isn’t #BanningBooks in #Iowa #Schools. #Republicans Are.
Overstating the power of algorithmic systems only serves to benefit the tech companies behind them. This intersection of generative AI and Republican #authoritarianism is indeed disturbing. It is not, however, the presage of a future ruled by #censoring machines. https://theintercept.com/2023/08/16/ai-iowa-schools-book-ban/

If the #library is one of the few places left that constitute a public square, #censoring #banning #books about queer life is the same as pushing queer people out of public life (& actual life too). #FirstAmendment #FreePress #FreedomToRead https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/17/opinion/public-libraries-book-bans-lgbt.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

#youtube #censoring
Probably not everyone hear it but recently youtube blocked the ability of streaming videos on Cytube, the reasons are pretty much BS as the probable cause it YT desire to implement itself with Discord system therefore the need to remove any competition (that are already doing much better job then they ever will) beforehand.

Does anyone remember the big-ass instance that was #censoring #BIPOC people, demanding that they #CW their toots about lived experiences of #Racism?

Well, #liberal #WhitePeople are STILL acting like that's a good thing. They're pretending that they're putting CWs up so they can spare the feelings of minorities.

That's not what they're doing at all. They're sparing #WhiteFeelings.

@PeterRu I agree. Preventing "legalized" #StatutoryRape seems like a more appropriate way to #ProtectChildren than #Censoring #FreeSpeech #online so that all #OnlineSpeech is #ChildAppropriate.

There’s a lot of #decentralization & #fedi advocacy for folks running their own instance. The problem with admins as users is that each of them are a king who can create their own #Reddit by #censoring anything that does not fit in the narrative they want to control. If you follow them it’s the same as blindly following a Reddit sub- you don’t know what they are censoring.
