#contentpolicy — Public Fediverse posts

YouTube's playing parole officer, allowing "some" banned creators to request new channels. It's a "pilot program" with criteria fuzzier than CSS on IE6. They won't get their old channels back, so it's a fresh start, from scratch.

If you're getting a "second chance," who decides if you're qualified? What's your take on digital rehabilitation?

@edri nails it:
"For example, Meta now allows its users to refer to “women as household objects or property” or “transgender or non-binary people as ‘it’.” It now allows users to verbally attack LGBTQ+ people by stigmatising them as “abnormal” or “mentally ill,” and said that it would generally limit moderation. As targeting people based on their appearance, race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, gender identity or sexual orientation, among others, are no longer prohibited, Meta’s new policy systematically legitimises and normalises the dehumanisation of people in the guise of ‘free speech’."

We should not call these platforms "social" media anymore. There is nothing social about them anymore...
