Considering that the British Government was run by far right extremists, the idea that the BBFC also had a far right extremist leaning or influence would probably make sense.

I'm not arguing that the so-called agency is good at what they do either, but not only is the BBFC full of nonsense, they are not even needed in the modern day.

The U.K. should seriously consider just dismantling the archaic BBFC. They are quite literally just apologists for censorship and their "regulatory functions" have long been taken over by a real agency.

I might have accidentally posted that twice. There was a 500 so I posted it again.

By the way, this is one of the things I warned about during chat control when the E.U. Parliament was arguing for "new capabilities", even though capabilities already exist in member states. Does it add anything? Or is it another tool which might be misused?

Have you noticed how the things the draconian and censorious DSA was supposed to do, a member state just started doing with laws which were around for ages anyway?

In the end, rather than getting a less draconian law, someone ends up with *two* draconian laws.

It looks like someone from another instance can see my posts so that is good and talking to users on other instances appears to work.

I suspect the forensic types discover sites by following their samples (which might already have a skew), or parts of them, around.

There are new posts mixed in with the looping old ones on here.

Ironically, the same posts looping is the same thing that would happen on Twitter.

The federated feed is still there.

The local feed appears to have vanished.

My profile isn't loading.

No 500 this time.

Testing again?

Okay, that sort of worked but it required a new page.

While trying to post this one, one failed with a 500.

Hmm... Let's test this.

Well, so far, the next update to the science post mentions human rights a bit more and expands on the VR paragraph (as I mentioned last time, I wanted to get something out on that, as there were a few unpleasant abstract / hypothetical takes out there, so this is going to be a supplement to that).
