Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

The bad news keep coming

These go into effect Oct 15th

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

There is something even scarier about all this than people realize. Everyone is rightfully pissed about payment companies not allowing consumers to buy legal nsfw things, but what if they decide to take it further? What if they don’t want you buying certain foods or from specific stores?

My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the terms of service.
Upon querying with staff over the phone l've been told that it was e-books that l've been buying.
I'm panicking a little bit right now. I haven't done anything illegal have I? The books were mostly stuff about monsters and milking. Some dub-con stuff.
If it is illegal, what do I need ot do to protect myself? Do I delete my e-books?
If the e-books aren't illegal then is the company really allowed to tell me how I'm allowed to spend my money?
Like, is this any different to Halifax or Nationwide forbidding me from buying cigarettes or alcohol at Tesocs?
I'm in England.

Go authors! Financially ruin AI forever!

Indie Book Spotlight @bookspotlight.bsky.social · Aug 27

AUTHORS! ASSEMBLE!

On Tuesday, US District Judge William Alsup confirmed that Anthropic and the authors "believe they have a settlement in principle" and will file a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement by September 5.

The settlement announcement comes after Alsup certified what AI industry advocates criticized as the largest copyright class action of all time. Although the lawsuit was raised by three authors—Andrea Bartz, Kirk Wallace Johnson, and Charles Graeber—Alsup allowed up to 7 million claimants to join based on the large number of books that Anthropic may have illegally downloaded to train its AI models.

If every author in the class filed a claim, industry advocates warned, it would "financially ruin" the entire AI industry.

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

"Role-playing involving fictional minors in sexual contexts."

Banned under new guidelines. This applies even if characters are 100% fictional and labeled as such. Could target fanfiction and fictional exploration of taboo themes.

Slippery slope to censorship. Speak up now.
