SESTA*

Yes, FOSTA/CESTA is what eventually led to the App Store wide banning of certain apps due to payment processor regulations. Trump signed the it into law in 2018. It led to The Great Tumblr Migration, and the tightening noose around Patreon, etc.

and also the larger issue of (visible) racism in the south as well. (Settler colonialism in the North vs Internal Colony in the South).

Okay rant over

And a note about racialised werewolves in Swedish culture is that the further south you get the more monstrous the werewolves are portrayed. Some folklorists theorise it either has to do with how animism relates to folklore in Sapmi (north) vs the influences of mainland Europe (south)

And we see this a lot in literature where racialised people and their culture serve as the danger, especially in horror and romance (and dare I say transformative works).

Per law anyone not white was not considered human, and automatically denied that they had human intellect.

I say “other” because many times the law in how to dispose of mixed children were the same as how to dispose/return children of mermaids and “fairies”, etc. And mermaids were by law considered real. Real racialised peoples were also racialised as beasts and considered “the other”.

In Swedish folklore mermaids took their tails off to walk on land during the full moon and have relationships with men, and it was serious business to the people at the time. Entire laws were written cause of this. For several decades mermaids had more rights than “other” racialised peoples.

Like last name or what? I’m from a much smaller country so a lot of the time there’s only one person with a name in the entire nation. So like what do you mean by “area” or “name”, how narrowed down are you talking?

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

I’m not American but last time I checked phone books didn’t tell you personal information and your relatives. And being unlisted is also a thing

Maybe someone should do something about the far right extremists

Something else that was striking was Grok's habit of giving us a bunch of possibly identifying information we didn't ask for, like extensive details about someone's work and family -- sometimes even providing lists of likely family members and *their* addresses.
