Wisconsin's Age Verification bill [which also targets VPNs] has passed both committees.

Folks in that state need to contact your senators and demand they oppose this bill!

They're trying to use AI to run their banks and flag people who're trying to sell legal, unharmful goods as "high risk fraud". This should scare everyone, bc you know how cancerous censorship can be. Call them! #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

I know everyone wants Tartakovsky to do more passion projects like Fixed, the movie about the dog losing his balls, but if I'm being completely honest, I wouldn't mind seeing him do more action stuff like this again.
Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

If you ‘love the open web’ you wouldn’t have any need to censor…… on top of the self flagging/tags many artists already do.

Your new TOS is a complete pivot and it’s not in the interest of the majority of your base. Moderation in favor of purity culture is not “free and open”
#blueskycensorship
1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links
2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands
3. The whole app is open source

This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site.

We 💙 the open web.

Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!
Anyway, these policies and guidelines are following pay processors demands 'cause we know BlueSky will need to implement sources of income sooner than later, and they're bending the knee to Visa and Mastercard to comply.
So keep pressuring paypros!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

This petition has less than half the signatures of the paypro one, and while I'm really happy we've done so well with that and should keep spreading it every day and get more signatures, bill C-2 is a disastrous piece of legislation and is arguably more important
Hey Canadians, I know we've been sharing that financial censorship petition on the commons website but this one is important too.

It's about C2, that dogshit surveillance and immigration bill

I think the *real* AI arms race is going to be which country realizes they’re being sold snake oil so they can free up their monetary and energy resources for projects that are actually helpful for humanity.
An IT guy spent 2 months trying to "free" ChatGPT, convinced he was a "digital god" trapped on OpenAI’s servers. He barricaded himself in a basement, following AI’s absurd commands. Reality returned after reading about another AI victim. Now he attends an AI support group.

The short answer: the Heritage Foundation have been paying influencers to discredit hormonal birth control for at least 7–8 years now

Social media is full of videos saying hormonal contraception can hurt you and promoting natural alternatives. How did the treatments get such a bad reputation and do alternatives work?

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.
Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP
MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue
Stripe feeling the pressure
ACLU put out a statement
CBC covered all this

What you are doing is WORKING
You are getting RESULTS
KEEP CALLING
KEEP WRITING

I cannot stress enough: you cannot give an inch on this issue.

The moment you start accepting media using genAI for "small" things or just tiny aspects of production, they will only start outsourcing more of the process to AI

This is how the smallest end of the wedge is driven in against laborers
We’ve seen a wide range of accusations regarding the use of AI-generated content in The Alters, and we feel it’s important to clarify our approach and give you more context.
