#SocialMedia#Twitter#Censorship#FreedomOfSpeech: "Elon Musk is taking an increasingly combative approach against what he claims are government efforts to censor posts on his social media platform X, as the billionaire engages in public battles with political figures over the issue.
X has attacked “takedown” requests in Brazil, India and Australia in recent weeks, after authorities demanded the removal of content on the site they deem as illegal or harmful.
Its owner, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, has gone further, labelling Brazil’s supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes a “dictator” and Australia’s eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, a former Twitter employee, a “censorship commissar”.
In one of these disputes, an Australian legal hearing began on Friday to determine whether X must scrub footage of a violent attack in Sydney from the platform."
"The courageous stance of students across the country in defiance of genocide is accompanied by a near total blackout of their voices. Their words are the ones we most need to hear.

Random shower thought as a #gamer inspired by this Discord conversation about the " #censorship " modesty update to cover up dem heinous side boobs in #StellarBlade :
People always going on about whether the outfits for female characters in fighting-focused games is practical, without mentioning THE HAIR. You're already in the realm of fantasy when they have long-ass hair that would get their head pulled off in their first real fight, who cares about the outfit??
(This reminds me, I need to put together some kind of video essay type thing about my thoughts as a feminist gamer on the Stellar Blade controversy...[I think the hub-bub is silly, this isn't a game you play for realism and having sexy female characters is fine sometimes, just not at our ONLY choice, or in a game that otherwise pretends to be realistic, ie some kind of CoD type thing]))
One of this city's most haunting #monuments isn't even particular monumental: An unsuspicious window in the middle of #Berlin’s Bebelplatz (former #Opernplatz) - bookshelves in the ground.
Empty bookshelves.
Commemorating the #BookBurning which took place right here #OnThisDay, May 10th in 1933.
#SocialMedia#TikTok#China#ContentModeration#Censorship#Surveillance: "What rarely gets mentioned in these discussions, however, is the fact that the Chinese government has built the most comprehensive digital surveillance system in the world, which it primarily uses not to protect children, but to squash any form of dissent that may threaten the power of the Chinese Communist Party. “Everybody exists in a censored environment, and so what gets censored for kids is just one step on top of what gets censored for adults,” Jeremy Daum, a senior research scholar at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center and the founder of the site China Law Translate, told me.
It should set off warning bells for Americans that many states have explored legislation limiting internet access for minors in ways that mirror what China has done."

I tried to do a Tik Tok video about how the online safety act would censor content and it was ironically throttled for mentioning categories that would be censored. I think we ought to try and use different platforms to reach people about digital rights issues but those platforms don’t make it easy to do so. #censorship#digitalrights#algorithm

“Adults will be faced with a choice: either limit their freedom of expression by not accessing content, or expose themselves to increased security risks that will arise from data breaches and phishing sites [by having to do age assurance]."
Educational and help material, especially where it relates to sexuality, gender identity, drugs and other sensitive topics may be denied to young people by moderation systems.
Risks to children will continue with these measures. Regulators need to shift their approach to one that empowers children to understand the risks they may face.
At a few points in my living history, the #USgovt tried to get #Redbone labeled as a terrorist group - because of their #music. #Censorship of #musicians - especially #BIPOC - who created resistance & activist songs were heavily censored in 70s - now.

Online mentions of Xi Jinping are so frequently censored that netizens have taken to jokingly calling Xi “Voldemort,” after the Harry Potter villain also known as “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.”
