Adobe's new AI tools (beta) will refuse to work on the media you make if it deems it "inappropriate" (aka smutty, a risque bikini photo shoot is enough).
American neo-puritanism is a genuine threat to society.
(Personally I hate AI, period, but this is worth a post anyway).

The important task of literature is to free man, not to censor him, and that is why Puritanism was the most destructive and evil force which ever oppressed people and their literature: it created hypocrisy, perversion, fears, sterility.
Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) Catalan-Cuban-French author, diarist

Watson on the 6th Commandment: mercy works adorn the gospel as fruit adorns a tree (Matt. 5:16)—they credit religion and silence its critics. Westminster-level conviction.
Contrast today: God is fine with our bad PR, gainsayers deserve snark, a few meals last month covers it. Watson’s question lingers: how do you let your light shine?

Credit card companies in Canada (and elsewhere) have been imposing draconian restrictions on the use of their payment networks for anything even slightly racy -- digital Puritanism, enforced by a handful of companies that have a combined monopoly stranglehold on payment systems.
Risque video content? Racy text? Erotic drawings? All forbidden to one degree or another, by un-elected moral crusaders that you simply can't choose to not use. If you're a content creator depending on payments / subscriptions, you can be demonitized instantly, with no explanation and no recourse, at any moment. Goodbye, income!
This petition isn't perfect - it's written solely from the point of view of someone concerned with the effects on the videogame market, not any other type of content creator - but it's a start. If you're in Canada and want payment processors to not engage in such discriminatory practices, take a look at this (brief) petition and consider signing it.
