“Censorship” is a thought-terminating cliché. These people want you to believe that:
- labeling is censorship
- fact-checking is censorship
- transparency is censorship
- research is censorship
What they’re doing is redefining anything that might inconvenience a hard-right populist as censorship.

american reporters, you've got to call bullshit on this. vance, purveyor of hate/propaganda, wants the public to believe rules on, for instance, transparency in advertising and forms of deception on X are censorship.
don't fall for it.

The crtl alt speech episode “a tale of two internets” raises such interesting questions about how we interact with information. @mmasnick.bsky.social highlights the increase in people identifying themselves as contrarians and that being their entire personality.

I find it troubling that when we speak about moderating content in a way that protects freedom of expression under international law, American values of freedom are still being used. If not explicitly, then it is implied.

People are describing RedNote as so kind and pleasant…well, the vibes are a function of the rules. Many posts now explaining content moderation rules to the “refugees”.
There’s also actual CCP censorship of certain topics. I wonder how TikTok “refugees” will feel ab this if they stay on the app.

Strong "Oops, we voted for Brexit" energy from the Biden administration. Dude, you are the guy who signed the TikTok ban into law.
The Biden administration is considering ways to keep TikTok available in the U.S. if a ban that’s scheduled to go into effect on Sunday proceeds, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

One would swear that Big tech’s continuous use of certain phrases and words render them meaningless overtime.
Every time I hear “free speech/ expression” from those folks I clench up hoping what follows isn’t a direct contradiction to free speech/ expression values and standards.

Sounds like: we will no longer have law enforcement; you are free to do whatever you want no acts are legally prohibited. But, you must police one another to prevent the crime. 🤦🏽♀️
