Companies Must Provide Accurate and #Transparent Information to Users When Posts are Removed
Imagine sharing information about #reproductive health care on #SocialMedia and receiving a message that your content has been removed for violating a policy intended to curb online #extremism. That’s exactly what happened to one person using #Instagram who shared her story with our Stop #Censoring #Abortion project.

The only way to end VISA and MasterCard censorship is basically create a payment network that charges less.
Banks will happily switch to something that makes their line go up by simply costing less.

#Facebook Is #Censoring #404Media Stories About Facebook's #Censorship
“Our findings suggest that although Meta has the tech to automatically detect #pornographic content, it does not apply it to enforce its community standards on #ads as it does for non-sponsored content,” #AIForensics said in its report. “This double standard is not a temp bug, but persisted since as early as, at least, Dec 2023.”

Democrats flip social media ‘censorship’ complaints on Musk & GOP
Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing social media companies of “#censoring” conservative viewpoints and #skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.
Now Democrats are turning that complaint around, questioning whether X
— owned by an outspoken GOP ally in Elon Musk
— is #suppressing content favoring Vice President Kamala Harris to help former president Donald Trump’s reelection bid.
On Monday, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) called on House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to 🔸“investigate political censorship” on X, 🔸citing reports that the company’s #chatbot, ♦️Grok, falsely told users Harris was ineligible to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot. ♦️
The chatbot shared the false information for more than a week until it was corrected in late July.
In addition to the apparent restriction on the Harris campaign account and erroneous Grok replies,
♦️some pro-Harris accounts have been labeled as spam, ♦️including ones called “White Dudes for Harris” and “Progressives for Harris”Nadler’s office cited 👉Jordan’s “extensive focus on allegations of censorship on social media this Congress.”
Nadler voiced similar concerns in a letter last month
after some users reported
💥temporarily being unable to follow an X account for the Harris campaign. 💥Nadler wrote that if X was “intentionally throttling or blocking” the account, it would “amount to #egregious #censorship"

This is why you should not use @mas.to as it is using the #mitm network of #cloudflare to #censoring the internet and deny free access to the #walledgarden
That you are using a MITM affected network also means that every single byte that is send to the #MITM network is #decrypted to a #insecure #piidata harvester. -

This is what happened when MAGA people at CPAC thought I was one of them.
Exiled from the press pen, I was just part of the audience, a space previously off-limits to reporters.
To say the least, it was enlightening.
On Friday, for instance, I listened to a main-stage speech from Chris #Miller, a Republican running for governor of West Virginia.
Because of its tax-exempt status, CPAC bans speakers from openly campaigning there, so he was listed on the program simply as “businessman.”Like virtually every other speaker at the event, Miller devoted several of his allotted five minutes to railing against #transgender #healthcare.
“Woke doctors are literally making boys into girls,” he declared.
“They’re practicing #mutilation, not medicine. They should be in prison.”
At that point, a burly man in a giant black cowboy hat sitting next to me leaned over conspiratorially and proclaimed,
“I think we should #hang them all! I really do.”
And he laughed like we were in on the same joke.
I confess that I was too cowardly to tell him I was with the left-wing fake newsLater, during a speech by South Dakota Governor Kristi #Noem, I was sitting next to a woman in full-on MAGA gear.
When Noem declared, “There are some people who love America, and there are some people who #hate America,” my neighbor gave me a small heart attack.
“Get the FUCK OUT!” she yelled furiously, ready to rumble. “Get the FUCK OUT!”
Meanwhile, the old man in the camo Trump hat next to her had somehow fallen asleep.In the hotel lobby outside the CPAC main stage, the right-wing cable network Real America’s Voice had set up a studio.
#Bannon spent most of the conference holding court there and interviewing various MAGA celebs like Kash #Patel, who President Donald Trump had once put in charge of counterterrorism at the National Security Administration, or Rep. Byron #Donalds (R-FL), the rare Black conservative in the mix.
The studio often drew a crowd that rivaled that of some of the speakers on the main stage. It certainly rivaled the convention in volume.While I was taking in the spectacle, a middle-aged man in a gray suit came up to me and pointed to a nearby 7-foot-high poster of Tucker #Carlson’s face.
“Do you know why that’s here?” he asked.
I explained that it was an ad for Tucker: The Biography, a book written by Chadwick Moore, a gay journalist and former liberal.
“Oh, I see,” he replied. The man clearly wanted to keep talking, asking me what I was here for, which was unusual since in the past my press badge said it all.
My inquisitor had come to #CPAC to see what people were saying about school choice and was disappointed to discover that the answer to that question was nothing.
Education policy, he lamented, was nowhere to be found at this event. Indeed, what passed for policy discussions at CPAC this year was largely limited to mass #deportations and attacks on #trans athletes.
The sober panels about the national debt, balancing the budget, or Social Security reform that once commanded top billing were a relic of another era before CPAC became an extension of Trump Inc., devoted to all the MAGA grievances like racial #equity, the evils of #windmills, or bans on gas #stoves.
When I finally was able to explain that I was a reporter who’d been denied a press pass, the man launched into an earnest yet incomprehensible spiel about how the government is #censoring people. Politely, I fled into the crowd watching Bannon.

Kimberlé #Crenshaw – the scholar who gave us #intersectionality – discusses the recent decision by the #CollegeBoard to water down its #AP African American studies coursework following attacks by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
She argues that the College Board's watering down of African American studies is actually proof of critical race theory in action.
"Contemporary aspects of the past that continue to shape the life chances of African Americans cannot be taught if they hurt some feelings or they make people feel bad,” she says.
#Censoring information that challenges the mythical retelling of the past is a hallmark of @authoritarian-leaning regimes.

CW: references to alcohol, slang for genitalia, (1300+ chars)
So, lately I've been watching a bunch of #HowToDrink, a show on #YouTube where the host mixes (mostly) alcoholic beverages, as well as describes interesting historical things about the drinks.
As per usual, I watch the show with closed captions on. I think it's mostly auto-generated captions unfortunately.
I've started to notice that it kept censoring 'jigger' or 'jiggers' in it though, which in the show is meant to be a measuring tool, which is pretty clear from the context.
At first I thought it was just the auto-generated captions mishearing the word (though apart from 'frigger', I couldn't really think of what possible 'vulgar' word it could've thought it heard), but it happened so frequently that I decided to look up the word 'jigger' on Wiktionary, and sure enough, under the third #etymology I found a reference to it being a euphemistic slang.
Apparently it can be a reference to either form of genitalia, with it referencing the masculine genital at least being in use since 1931, and the feminine one was quoted in a book from 2002 (though set in 1842).
So, #TheMoreYouKnow. Another example of how #censoring something for possibly being #lewd has resulted in the lewd meaning being looked up where otherwise it had remained hidden.
