I wonder why tumblr banned porn?
Click to expand...
very short version is: kids were sharing nude selfies on tumblr (with each other and with anyone else who looked at their blogs, because kids are stupid); apple banned the tumblr app from the iphone store because it contained underage nudity; tumblr responded in the classic tumblr way, not by seeking out underage content and removing it, but rather by banning all forms of porn, visual erotica, nudity, and unauthorised images of naked bodies. They made a post showing the examples of things that would be allowed by their fancy new content scanning bot, with one of the examples being a photograph of michelangelo's david. Reblogs of the post were deleted by their fancy new scanning bot because it contained a photograph of michelangelo's david.

Nouveau rich eCEOs from silicon valley, especially the ones in the social media sphere, have a weird habit of not knowing how to human - minus retarded shit like being spiteful against people for some perceived slight.

A good axample would be ZUCC himself. Pretty sure the vids of him during the hearing and how autistic he was is still there somewhere.

Now, add furries, and you have the tumblr CEOs.
 
Whelp. Saw this on Yahoo Finance today. Looks like legislation could be proposed as soon as today.

WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department is preparing to proposes legislation as soon as Wednesday to try to remove protections that big tech platforms like Alphabet's Google and Facebook have had for decades, a department official said on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity.

President Donald Trump said in late May he would propose legislation that may scrap or weaken a law that has protected internet companies, including Twitter, in an extraordinary attempt to regulate social media platforms where he has been criticized.

The Justice Department plans to make a legislative proposal that Congress would have to pass, according to the Wall Street Journal, which was first to report the proposal.

Trump wants to "remove or change" a provision of a law known as Section 230 that shields social media companies from liability for content posted by their users. (Reporting by Diane Bartz; editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Looks like Google showed their vulnerable side for a bit


though I seriously doubt anything will come of it (Ted Cruz shows a hint of courage but you need to bite hard after snarling ffs). And you know what sucks? The right wingers / conservatives get banned / shadow-banned / demonetized. Then some
smartass says, to rub salt into the wound, create your own site. Ok nigger we do that (I think Gab would be a good example?) And then? Gab is a site for Naziss RREEEEEE. Geee thank you asshole. How about we nuke Silicon Valley if you don't play by your own rules? And you dare to ban us for tweeting #LearnToCode huh?
 
There should be a manifesto for an open internet. Not the dumb 'I will go commit violence now' kind. A real one.

Outline the principles an open internet should have.
Outline why this is a good thing, or at least that it is a good thing.
Explain what current and past regulations supported this and why.
Explain what other regulations should support this and why. Or at least explain how to evaluate regulations against these principles.
Give it an easy to remember, pleasant name (Principles of an Open Internet, Internet For Everyone... ask whoever came up with replacing 'Anti-Abortion' with 'Pro-Life').

Right now... aside from being fucked... everyone just goes about their day until some critical regulation gets under threat. Then the only solution is to generate outrage. In the best case scenario, politicians get scared, don't do the dumb thing they were about to do, then wait for a year or two and do it anyway. Eventually people get tired or there is to much else going on.
The only option is to be reactive and rely on outrage. It's bad constantly being on the defensive.

If you had a conceptual core about what an open internet should be about it would make it easier to be proactive.
If it got well known people could move on it independently without having to coordinate so much.
People interested in the issue could use it to push for their own legislation or to try and generate support.
It would be easier for normies to grasp onto a 'thing' rather than having to understand it. 'We must not repeal 230 or the internet will be destroyed? What like net neutrality? I can't hyperventilate right now I'm busy taking care of my children. Oh, Open Internet? Yeah I'm for that, screw those other bastards'.

If one already exist it clearly isn't well known enough.
 
Shit, I barely go on any other sites.
IDK what I'd do all day if KF didn't exist, especially under quarantine.

EDIT:
This wording gives me hope, but just a little.

Anyone read the full proposal yet?

Tumblr banned porn, reddit banned their right-wing subreddits, and digg enabled their attentionwhores.

Digg broke one of its most popular features to favor paid content over that that was actually popular and nearly instantly completely nuked their userbase.

Because they were too stupid to just ban CP and it was showing up on front page shit on their phone apps and Apple kicked them off the App Store. Also their userbase is a bunch of worthless, useless scum so unlike platforms like 4chan, they couldn't even get volunteers to do it for free. So instead they unleashed some shitty bot that randomly deleted shit whether it was even porn or not and drove everyone off to Twitter.

Liberals really have to fuck everything up. Just couldn't be happy with what you had. But nope had to ruin it for everybody because they don't think like you.

This won't even solve the issue as anti trust would have made better sense.

And payment processors pulling bullshit like banning people is a even bigger issue.
 
Nobody is going to pay attention to this though. The Riots, Wuflu and other shit is just too distracting. We're all fucked.
