/6 Out of curiosity and given the attention in the UK right now on age verification, I accessed 15 gore sites yesterday from my own list, from a UK IP address. Aside from some having a tick box confirming you are 18, none of them had any form of age verification in place.

5/ In the UK alone, the most visited gore-related websites receive up to 334,000 visits per month

4/ Violent misogynists, including incels, are viewing content depicting violence against women on gore sites. A popular incel forum has 2,000+ posts directing users to gore-related websites, some of which advertised purchasable folders of videos of women being murdered.

3/ Many of the sites enable straightforward downloads of illegal content, feeding its proliferation across social media and the rest of the mainstream internet

2/ There is a general lack of safety mechanisms on these sites, and illegal content on them can easily be discovered via mainstream search engines

1/ Analysis of 24 gore-related sites found 12,000+ terrorist images and videos, particularly Islamic State propaganda and right-wing terrorist attack footage.

Also Meta: "We will decide whether your race science claims are 'unsupported' or not."

On which note, clock this.

Old rules banned claims of "inferiority" based on "intellectual capacity"

New ones ban "unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity."

Sorry, what does "unsupported" mean? Is race science OK now if you chuck in a dodgy chart?
