Who knows, maybe the fediverse "experiment" can offer up possible ideas here on how to offer a different kind of user experience (without Uncle Sam coming in to whip someone).

It's not hard to think of problems with this. We've been kicking these same balls on this side of the court for quite some time.

1) It chills expression with rather vague terms for very questionable gains.

2) Large platforms are not going to engage in thoughtful policy making.

They're presumably going to do things which reduce perceived liability, even if it makes things less safe for some demographics.

3) The fact that they're making such vague demands should clue you into the reality that they probably don't really understand what they're asking for either. That is a recipe for bad policy.

4) This whole thing has a smell of moral panic to it.

5) It's not really worth living in a sterile environment for this. People have rights and some problem which might exist to some limited extent is not going to outweigh that.

Someone writes a bunch of code and the zeroes and ones literally fly out of the mobile phones and computers and make magic happen. Also, I think one episode is literally named Hello World, lol.

Modern Magic Made Simple. An old, and maybe a bit obscure, #anime where you can cast magic spells by writing computer programs.

I feel sorry for the teacher in Kodomo no Jikan, lol.

Even in how Jack Dorsey proudly described Twitter, it sounded like the Borg, lol.

Admittedly, the horror anime I usually watch aren't quite... Like this.

The Junji Ito Collection is such a strange, creepy horror anime. That is also why it can be so interesting to watch.

You can kind of see that in it's opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N2Nn-42oGQ #anime

I've got to finish watching Nyaruko. Cthulhu themed cute girl parodic anime.

Average in the divine realm, I guess, lol.

They should bring back the Black Butler anime. It was fun watching what the butler and his master got up to there.

Oh, I forgot about Diabolik Lovers (vampire anime). I don't know why I watched that but it had an interesting plot.
