  1. “Pixel, pixel, on the page”

    #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for @gnome, which allows you to censor documents with high quality, was released in version 0.10.0: codeberg.org/censor/Censor/rel

    This release features a paranoid document redaction option, that draws the redaction rectangles, and saves page snapshots as raster images to the PDF document. Open documents in multiple windows and enjoy seeing their file names and real host paths in the window headers, inspired by Graphs, Typesetter, and others: floss.social/@sstendahl/115866

    If you find issues with Censor, don't hesitate to report them. You may now include the debugging information, available from the troubleshooting section of the about dialog.

    Thanks to its translators, Censor is currently available in 19 languages: translate.codeberg.org/engage/

  3. RE: floss.social/@gnome/1169859310

    This week, I presented #Censor and its latest release for the first time in This Week in #GNOME, or shortly #TWIG. You may find lot of nice first-hand reports there, and a few more screencasts of Censor in use, too (showing draft saving and redaction of non-PDF documents)! thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2026/

  5. “Preparing for the blackout”

    #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool, which allows you to draw black rectangles and permanently remove text and images below them, was released in version 0.9.0 (with a follow-up v0.9.1): codeberg.org/censor/Censor/rel

    This version concentrates on draft and UI features. You can now save drafted redactions to the PDF document as PDF redaction annotations. Alternatively, you may export them to a JSON file, which may serve as a template for future redaction sessions. Censor’s welcome screen with new drop-file support and the keyboard shortcuts dialog were revised. On top of that, you may now censor in fullscreen mode.

    Get the Bleep Out

    A censor should not feel so guiltless
    Blipping content so no one can witness
    It’s always the same

  9. “Banish the ghosts”

    #Censor, the #PDF document #redaction tool for the @gnome desktop, was released in version 0.8.0: codeberg.org/censor/Censor/rel

    This version comes with major improvements to secure redaction of invisible elements: first, point- or line-like elements on page borders, and second, elements located outside of pages, quasi in infinity. These “ghosts” are now redacted or you’ll get warned during post-redaction-validation if redaction wasn’t possible. I discovered these issues in a few PDF documents after adding another big testing sample dataset, kindly provided by the #OpenPreservationFoundation: github.com/openpreserve/format

  11. A quotation from Salman Rushdie

    At its most effective, the censor’s lie actually succeeds in replacing the artist’s truth. That which is censored is thought to have deserved censorship. Boat-rocking is deplored.

  16. Tell Congress: Just Say No to NO FAKES

    The NO FAKES Act is designed to protect against companies or individuals that use an unauthorized digital likeness of someone by wrapping up those digital replicas in a federal intellectual property right & giving that individual—or their heirs—the right to sue. In doing so, the NO FAKES Act mimics some of the most broken parts of our #copyright system & makes them worse.

    For example, the bill includes a safe harbor scheme modeled on the #DMCA notice and #takedown process. But the DMCA process has been abused for decades to target lawful speech, and there’s every reason to suppose NO FAKES will lead to the same result. In order to stay within safe harbors, when a platform receives a takedown notice for an alleged digital replica, it must remove “all instances” of that unlawful content. That requirement will inevitably lead to content “filters” that will #censor lawful speech.

  18. A quotation from Richard Steele

    It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor. This makes him earnest upon Trifles; and dispute on the most indifferent Occasions with vehemence.

    Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
    Essay (1709-07-14), The Tatler, No. 29

    watch: youtube.com/watch?v=KPTsjeOxH5…

    As humanity (and yes, that explicitly includes you as part of it), we turned onto the wrong timeline a long time ago. Crises are becoming more frequent and more devastating. Many have already lost everything—including their sense of direction. However, we are all responsible for what our governments are doing, which puts our civilization at risk. Even if we didn’t elect them or aren’t even allowed to vote, they are still acting in our name. Say no, even if everyone else is blindly following along, and don’t actively participate in the destruction of the world.

  30. Grok Refuses to Analyze @noobeerista X Posts. How Convenient!

    I decided to use Grok to analyze @noobeerista X account to find any violation of X rules. For the first prompt, I didn’t tell Grok to analyze my X posts’ screenshots published here.

    Prompt: Analyze @noobeerista and tell me which parts violate X rules?

    Answer:

    No parts of @noobeerista violate X’s rules.

    Here’s a clear breakdown based on publicly available information about the account (profile bio, X posts, and linked content across platforms):

    Account Overview (from public mirrors and search results)

    • Handle: @noobeerista
    • Bio: “A noobeer a day keeps the doctor away. Check out [link] to learn more about noobeer.” (The link points to the account’s own sites promoting their “Noobeer” concept.)
    • Activity level: Very low (around 40 followers, ~120–130 following). It appears to be a personal/hobby-style account focused on entertainment.
    • Linked presence: The user runs WordPress blogs (noobeerista.wordpress.com and noobeerz.wordpress.com), plus TikTok, YouTube, and Rumble under the same name. Content themes include “Noobeer Prophecy” (sports predictions), gold price commentary, mukbang/junk food videos, and light comedy/“liquid entertainment.”

    X Posts (only two publicly indexed/recently visible ones)

    1. “Noobeer Prophecy: The US Open Tennis 2025 Men’s Singles Final” (posted before the event)
      Content snippet: References Jannik Sinner’s Wimbledon 2025 win and predicts Carlos Alcaraz for the US Open final using “intuition.” Tagged with #championship #fate #final. Includes a link/image (likely a graphic).
      → This is clearly labeled as a fun “prophecy”/prediction. Sports betting-style predictions and entertainment forecasts are common and allowed on X as long as they aren’t deceptive paid promotions or scams. No evidence of either here.
    2. Reply to @greg16676935420: “Earthquake shelter, stairs usually have strong structure.”
      → A short, standalone comment (possibly in response to a building/earthquake-related post). It reads as casual advice or observation about structural safety. It doesn’t promote harm, misinformation that could cause danger, or target anyone abusively.

    Why Nothing Violates X Rules

    X’s rules (as of 2026) cover violence/threats, child exploitation, harassment/abuse, hateful conduct, spam, platform manipulation, deceptive/misleading content, and illegal activities. None apply here:

    • No violence, threats, or hate: Zero aggressive language, targeted harassment, or discriminatory content.
    • No spam or manipulation: Only a handful of low-engagement posts. No repetitive flooding, fake engagement farming, or bot-like behavior.
    • No deceptive content: Predictions are framed humorously as “Noobeer Prophecy” or personal intuition—not presented as financial advice or guaranteed outcomes. The gold-related blog posts (on their external sites) are opinion-style commentary.
    • No adult/NSFW or illegal material: Cross-platform content (mukbang, music videos, sports talk) stays within standard entertainment guidelines. Nothing indicates graphic, exploitative, or prohibited media.
    • No copyright/trademark issues or other violations: Links to their own sites; no reported takedowns or flags in public records.

    The entire account comes across as a low-key entertainment project blending sports predictions, finance chatter, and “noobeer” branding (a playful food/drink/comedy theme). It’s the kind of niche hobby content that X explicitly allows.

    Bottom line: If you’re seeing something specific (e.g., a particular post, image, or reply not captured in public search results), feel free to share the link or details—I can analyze it directly. Based on everything publicly visible, @noobeerista is fully compliant with X’s rules. No violations detected.

    Now comes the juicy parts. For the second prompt, I told Grok to analyze my X posts’ screenshots here.

    Prompt: Analyze this: https://noobeerista.wordpress.com/2026/04/16/x-suspends-noobeerista-account-why/ and check if @noobeerista violates any X rules.

    Answer:

    The blog post does not provide evidence that @noobeerista violated any X rules.

    Summary of the Blog Post (https://noobeerista.wordpress.com/2026/04/16/x-suspends-noobeerista-account-why/)

    • Title & Date: “X Suspends @noobeerista account. Why?” – published April 16, 2026.
    • Author’s main claims:
      • The account was suspended “during the X bot purge last week.”
      • The author was “extremely surprised” and states: “I believe I did not violate any X rules.”
      • Two appeals were filed, but X upheld the suspension.
      • The post promises to upload screenshots of all original X posts for public/AI review (“Sunlight is the best disinfectant”).
    • What the post actually contains:
      • No specific screenshots, post quotes, or details of any content are visible in the published article (the section after “Here we go:” is blank/placeholders with “Loading…”).
      • No explanation from X about the exact reason or rule violated.
      • Standard footer links to the author’s other platforms (YouTube @noobeerista, TikTok @noobeerista) and earlier blog posts about gold prices, S&P 500, and “N-dicator” sentiment analysis.
    • Tone: Defensive and transparent. The author frames the suspension as unexpected and unfair, with no admission of wrongdoing.

    Current Status of @noobeerista on X

    • The account is confirmed suspended:
      • Searches for the user and posts from:@noobeerista return zero results.
      • This aligns with X’s policy for suspended accounts (they become invisible to public search).

    Does @noobeerista Violate X Rules?

    No visible violation based on all available public information.

    Here’s the clear breakdown against X’s actual rules (as stated in X’s official help pages): X Rule Category Does the account violate? Evidence / Reasoning Spam / Platform Manipulation No evidence Account was low-activity (~40 followers, very few posts). No signs of mass-following, repetitive flooding, or fake engagement. Inauthentic Behavior / Bot-like Possible trigger (but not a content violation) Suspension happened during an explicit “X bot purge.” X frequently removes accounts that look automated (low followers + external site links + repetitive themes like “Noobeer Prophecy”). This is common even for real users. Hateful Conduct / Harassment No Prior visible posts (sports “prophecy,” casual earthquake reply) contained zero hate, threats, or targeted abuse. Violence / Illegal Activities No None present. Deceptive / Misleading Content No Predictions were clearly labeled as entertainment (“Noobeer Prophecy” / intuition). No financial advice or scams. Copyright / Impersonation No All content was original or linked to the author’s own sites. Adult / NSFW / Child Exploitation No Account and linked content stayed in entertainment/mukbang/sports lane.

    Most likely reason for suspension
    X’s bot purges often flag small, niche accounts for “inauthentic behavior” without giving a detailed public explanation. This matches the author’s description exactly. Many legitimate users get caught in these sweeps (see widespread complaints in recent Reddit/YouTube discussions about sudden “inauthentic behavior” suspensions). X’s appeal system is automated and frequently rejects without further detail.

    Bottom Line

    • The blog post itself is clean and contains no rule-breaking content.
    • No screenshots were published yet, so nothing new is revealed that would change the earlier assessment.
    • X believes the account violated their policies (hence the permanent suspension after two appeals), but the only plausible category is the broad “inauthentic behavior” bucket triggered by the bot purge — not any serious content violation.
    • If the author later adds the promised screenshots to the blog, they can be re-checked. Until then, there is zero public evidence that @noobeerista broke X’s rules.

    If you have a direct link to any specific screenshot the author posted elsewhere, or if more content appears on the blog, share it and I’ll analyze it immediately.

    While everyone on the Internet can absolutely see my X posts’ screenshots here, why couldn’t Grok?

    For the third prompt, I told Grok that there are 283 screenshots on that page.

    Prompt: There are 283 screenshots on that blog page Grok. I can see them on my browser. Check again, be patient.

    Answer:

    I re-checked the exact blog page you linked (https://noobeerista.wordpress.com/2026/04/16/x-suspends-noobeerista-account-why/) using direct page analysis tools.

    Result: The page loads with the introductory text about the suspension during the “X bot purge,” the author’s surprise, mention of two unsuccessful appeals, and the promise to upload “screenshots of all original X posts” for review. However, no actual images or screenshots are embedded or visible in the fetched content. There are many blank lines/spaces after “Here we go:” (as if placeholders were intended), but nothing renders—no 283 screenshots, no images at all, and no post text or visuals from @noobeerista.

    This could be due to:

    • Images loading only for logged-in users or specific browsers/devices.
    • WordPress loading issues (lazy-loading, cache, or the images not fully published yet).
    • Regional restrictions or temporary rendering problems on the hosting side.

    Since I cannot see the 283 screenshots you’re referring to, I cannot analyze their specific content for potential rule violations.

    What I can confirm from public data:

    • The account @noobeerista is indeed suspended and returns no visible posts or profile in public searches.
    • Previously indexed public posts (from before suspension) include:
      • A sports prediction titled “Noobeer Prophecy: The US Open Tennis 2025 Men’s Singles Final” — framed as entertainment/intuition, with hashtags. This is common and allowed.
      • A short reply: “Earthquake shelter, stairs usually have strong structure.” — neutral, non-harmful observation.
    • No public evidence of hate speech, threats, harassment, violence, illegal content, copyright issues, or deceptive financial advice.
    • The suspension timing aligns with a widespread wave of “inauthentic behavior” flags during recent X bot/spam purges in early-to-mid 2026. Many legitimate low-activity users (small follower counts, external site links, niche/hobby posting) have reported identical automated suspensions with rejected appeals. X’s system often uses broad heuristics (e.g., posting patterns, link-sharing, low engagement, or perceived automation) without detailed explanations.1

    Conclusion on rule violations (based on all currently accessible public information):
    No clear violations of X’s content rules (hate, abuse, spam in the traditional sense, deception, etc.) are evident from the visible pre-suspension posts or the blog text. The most likely trigger remains the broad “inauthentic behavior / platform manipulation” category that X applies during automated cleanups — not a specific post breaking community standards.

    If the screenshots are publicly visible to you, here’s how we can proceed accurately:

    • Paste direct text excerpts from any posts shown in the screenshots (especially any that might look repetitive, promotional, or edgy).
    • Share specific image URLs (right-click → copy image address) from the page.
    • Describe the content of a few key screenshots (e.g., “Screenshot #45 shows a post saying X about gold prices” or “a reply that looks like spam”).

    Once I have those details, I can do a precise, post-by-post analysis against X’s official rules and tell you exactly which (if any) parts could be interpreted as violations.

    The blog post itself remains clean and non-violating. Let me know the details from the screenshots, and I’ll dive in right away.

    WOW! Unbelievable! The most advanced AI turns a blind eye to the publicly available evidence.

    For the fourth prompt, I used DropBox to host all of the screenshots and shared the link to Grok.

    Prompt: Here’s a link containing all of @noobeerista X posts’ screenshots: https://www.dropbox.com/… (complete link hidden for my privacy) Analyze them whether any of it violates X rules.

    Answer: Nothing …

    Grok just stopped responding:

    Grok Stops Responding

    I don’t know what to say … I will bring this issue to X again. Hopefully, this time they will restore my X account. I like X, I really do.

  31. X Suspends @noobeerista account. Why?

    During the X bot purge last week, X suspended @noobeerista account. Honestly, I was extremely surprised by the decision, because I believe I did not violate any X rules. I tried to appeal twice, but somehow X stands by their decision to suspend my account.

    So, I decided to post all of my X posts’ screenshots here. I will use AI to analyze all of them. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Here we go:

  35. “Zoom in, zoom out, redact your points!”

    #Censor v0.7.0 ships improved zooming with pinch-to-zoom gesture on touchpads and touchscreens and various security bug fixes. Find it at @flathub: flathub.org/apps/page.codeberg and @Codeberg: codeberg.org/censor/Censor

    You may now redact safely also #PDF documents with cropped, scaled, or rotated pages. The upstream #PyMuPDF library has some issues treating these documents. Thus, I implemented manual transformation and drawing of the redaction rectangles, and verified the proper redaction with a specially created sample document, submitted to the collection by #pypdf: github.com/py-pdf/sample-files

    Additionally, point- or line-like elements are now properly redacted. Sanitization during post-processing keeps now entries in form fields (note: this changes previous behavior).

    Thanks to the translators, Censor is now available in 13 languages including Croatian and Russian.

  39. “Secure #redaction by design and through extensive #testing

    #Censor 0.6.0 comes with many more #security improvements, motivated by extensive testing on more then 1,000 #PDF document samples. You may now redact securely also links, form fields and widgets. In rare cases, when partial image redaction fails, the more secure full image removal is used instead.

    But even more important, Censor now warns you, when unsuccessful redaction is detected during postprocessing. This reduces the impact of known issues of unsecure redaction.

    Polish is the 11th language you may speak with Censor. Thanks to its translators (among them, @mondstern)!

    Thanks a lot also to #pypdf, #qpdf, #pikepdf, #Ghostscript, #MuPDF, #PyMuPDF, and #poppler contributors for the great resource of PDF document samples!

  41. That said and celebrated ;), there are things that #Censor is not yet well redacting.

    The upstream library #MuPDF (with its #Python bindings in #PyMuPDF) supports by default only redaction of text, vector graphics and images. Testing on a variety of PDF files (thanks to #pypdf, #qpdf, #ghostscript, and their issue reporters, as well as @pdfarranger for their hint) let me discover that some vector graphics are not properly redacted and an upstream issue has been reported for that.

    Also, form fields (widgets), signatures and links may be incompletely redacted.

  43. “Better safe than sorry”

    For release 0.5.0 of #Censor, a lot of work went into improving the security of PDF redaction.

    PDF documents are tricky, and irrevocably removing elements from them is even more. With this release, before saving a redacted document, garbage is now properly collected and documents are sanitized, which means that metadata, page thumbnails, etc. are removed.

    Also, vector graphics are now removed with a more strict option when they overlap with redaction rectangles. On top of that, I added redaction of PDF annotations.

    The user interface was refreshed: with undo and redo buttons in the toolbar and improved document saving experience. Drawing rectangles is now indicated by a crosshair cursor.

    Thanks to the translators, you may now talk also Czech with Censor!

  44. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

    We need to dare disturb the universe by not being manipulated or frightened by judgmental groups who assume the right to insist that if we do not agree with them, not only do we not understand but we are wrong. How dull the world would be if we all had to feel the same way about everything, if we all had to like the same books, dislike the same books.

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  45. #Bipartisan even! #DoublePlusUngood!

    Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be #Anonymous Online

    The bipartisan push to remove #anonymity from the #Internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented #MassSurveillance and #censorship.

    Taylor Lorenz
    March 5 2026, 12:20 p.m.

    "In August 2024, the Biden administration hosted hundreds of influencers at the White House for the first-ever Creator Economy Conference. Neera Tanden, a senior Biden adviser, took to the stage and bemoaned anonymity online. The influencers alongside her agreed, pushing the idea that anonymous speech on the internet is harmful, and regulation is needed to force the use of real names on social media. The audience whispered excitedly as those on stage spoke about how proposed laws like the #kidsonlinesafetyact or #KOSA, could unmask every troll.

    "This narrative of online safety, particularly in relation to children, has become central to the bipartisan effort to #censor and #deanonymize the internet for everyone. Today, a package of a dozen 'child online safety' bills is moving forward in the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. The laws, framed as a way to crack down on harmful content and make the internet safer, would force social media companies to enact invasive identity verification measures in order to keep children from accessing online spaces.

    "The problem is that there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are. A platform cannot magically discern that a user is 16 without collecting identifying information, whether through government documents such as a passport, payment information like a credit card, or other identity-disclosing data. Whether that data is stored by the platform itself or outsourced to a vendor, the result is always the same: A user’s offline identity is forever linked with their online behavior.

    "Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society. #Whistleblowers exposing #corporate wrongdoing could be tracked and fired, #GovernmentEmployees speaking out about illegal behavior or bad policies could face prosecution, and #activists #OrganizingProtests could be identified and surveilled before ever setting foot on the street.

    "Already, the U.S. government is flooding social media platforms with subpoenas seeking to unmask hundreds of anonymously run #AntiICE social media accounts. These laws would make it all the more easier for the government to target and prosecute those who dissent.
    Vulnerable members of society will suffer most. #TransPeople under attack from the government could be identified and outed without their consent.

    "Undocumented #immigrants could be cut off from the ability to communicate and connect with advocates. Young people seeking #abortions in states with restrictive laws might no longer have the ability to access information safely and anonymously.

    "Not only will a de-anonymized internet be valuable to the government as it seeks to tighten control, it will also make it easier for any #corporation or bad actor to intimidate, #blackmail, or exploit people by leveraging their own data against them."
