Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game set on the continent of Pywel. But how big is the open world, exactly? It’s “absolutely massive,” its developer has said, bigger even than that of Bethesda’s Skyrim and Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2.
Crimson Desert's Open World Is at Least Twice as Big as Skyrim's, and Larger Than the Red Dead Redemption 2 Map

Because the Tumblr porn ban primarily impacted queer people.
That's the difference.
Therefore that's the guideline.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

I removed the paywall on my post about the screen act and #kosa because there's nothing I can say or write about that is more important than describing how I was systematically prohibited from playing chess online for no discernable reason. This could only be done by verifying my identity somehow 🤷

This is actually a pre-culture war delirium conservative take, but if you live and work and pay taxes in the US, you actually direct and employ every office holder and funding allocation that Would Best Serve You & Your Neighbors.

There is no singularly perfect place to start, so I feel that - purely through a reform lens - a series of legislative and [contextually legitimate] executive brooms have to sweep away AIPAC, Citizens United, KOSA, active "Patriot Act" foundations and many, many more Within 90 Days

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) would force social media platforms to filter and suppress content that the Trump admin is willing to argue makes kids "depressed" or "anxious."
Videos of ICE murdering people make me pretty depressed and anxious, and I'm a grown ass adult.
See where this is going?

And, of course, speaking of censorship, it's YouTube so you can't actually say porn or sex, you can't swear and can't do anything that would cause the platforms to depress your reach or demonetize your work.
"Protect the minors" means don't talk about the controversial stuff. That's censorship.

Great to do a deep dive with @taylorlorenz.bsky.social on the SCREEN Act and the wave of online censorship laws, and if I seem subdued and rational it's because I kept blowing out the mic the first time we tried because all I can seemingly do about these bills is SCREAM.

No one is arguing against impeachment. We live in reality.

Then they can act.
If you won’t support them or are making demands when you don’t have the votes, you’re ignorant.
