  1. Steve Stewart-Williams (@SteveStuWill):
    The #censoring of #science by #scientists is getting more and more common. Often, the motives are benign – so why is it a problem?
    "The first and most obvious harm is that censoring science blunts our ability to understand the world."

  2. Before #MissKitty gave up on #AI #research, at least for now due to the #censoring, she had determined that every human problem could be ended in 50 years if we opened up education all the way through #PhD. 10 years to implement. 10 years to learn. 20 years to resolve. 10 years to implement. #Cycle

  3. Apple gets very prissy about stuff on the App Store and has historically gone as far as to censor dictionaries. But when it comes to Apple TV, apparently that moral policing is gone 😛

    Their latest show is called "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed" and from a brief scene I caught, it has Apple's standard just-cram-it-in sex scenes. So where did their morality go with their TV shows?

  4. From Bluesky: seems the #BBC is #censoring statements 'critical' of #potus.

    Seems to me to be an accurate and factual statement.

  5. #Trump says #TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA”

    Fresh off #JimmyKimmel returning to TV to warn that Donald Trump's attacks on free speech would not end with #censoring #comedians critical of his administration, Trump signed an executive order to "save" TikTok, while supposedly joking that he'd like to #censor #influencers by tweaking the #algorithm so that content is "100 percent #MAGA."

  6. 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.

  7. Our Stop #Censoring #Abortion Campaign Uncovers a #SocialMedia #Censorship Crisis

    We’ve been hearing that social media platforms are censoring abortion-related content, even when no law requires them to do so. Now, we’ve got the receipts.

  8. Every time I think the vastly misnamed #Republicans can't get any lower, they have to go and prove me wrong. They are now #censoring the #Constitution.

    BTW, the pages aren't only missing from the direct links, e.g. constitution.congress.gov/brow , they're also missing from the index of Article I, constitution.congress.gov/brow . There's no possible way this is a glitch.

    The phrase "foreign and domestic" popped up in my head for some reason.

  9. 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.

  10. The national assessments are more useful than international #climate reports put out by the #UN every 7 or so years because they are more localized & more detailed, Hayhoe & Jacobs said.

    The national reports are not only peer reviewed by other scientists, but examined for accuracy by the National Academy of Sciences, federal agencies, the staff & the public.

    Hiding the reports would be #censoring #science, Jacobs said.

  11. #Editorial : #Censoring the #scientific enterprise, one grant at a time

    Over the last two weeks, in response to #ExecutiveOrder 14035, the National Science Foundation ( #NSF ) has discontinued funding for research on #diversity , #equity , and #inclusion ( #DEI ), as well as support for researchers from marginalized backgrounds

  12. #Trump admin accused of #censoring NIH’s top expert on ultra-processed foods - arstechnica.com/health/2025/04 " Kevin Hall claims an aide for Kennedy edited his written responses to a reporter. " #jfk

  13. A pic I took on the streets of #Portland
    # 363 days ago, area within walking distance of #Revolution Hall.

    I've remained publicly silent on my #WriteTheDocs conference attendance last year because it was .... a shitty conference.

    And today I'll tell you why it was a shitty conference.

    There was a self-proclaimed "extrovert" who got up on stage and vomited bullshit about how she was representing #Nginx.

    I did not plan to give a talk, but when I woke up the last day of the conference, I really had this pressing intuition that I should speak up for the talent that was maybe intimidated ... that NO, you don't need a fucking Macbook to be a technical writer... not all technical writing is about computer-related things.

    But then did I find out ... what that Nginx "extrovert" was really there to do was be the shithead #censoring the indigenous voice that wanted to get on stage and tell everybody that not all #TechnicalWriting has to be about #technology.

    But that snooty white supremacist bitch rejected this talk.
