Buggy boosts are honestly annoying as I might not want to post the same thing five times over weeks or months.

One issue is that financial firms are just not in a good spot to be making decisions of this kind and they have been handling it badly, especially when it gets fuzzier. When they do act, it can involve a lot of collateral damage (and with questionable efficacy). #FreeSpeech #Japan
I saw an article a few months ago where they did it with a classic manga and it struck me how generic and homogenous the characters felt.
When I say "AI" (with quotes), I mean, artificial "intelligence".
A concern I'd have with "AI" is that the art styles would be awfully homogenous.

"A federal judge on Monday struck down key parts of an #Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors."
"The law would have created a new process to challenge library materials and request that they be relocated to areas not accessible to children."

Doing a test.
Oh boy, Ace Attorney. That Phoenix Wright has to deal with so much nonsense. Lol.
Don't underestimate the chances of humans screwing up when it comes to censorship.
I remember a case where someone was like "it's got to be an algorithm" because it was so bizarre and stupid. When the company fixed it, it turned out it wasn't just a human, it was multiple humans. #FreeSpeech

The ironic thing about Death Note is that they could have stopped people being killed just by not putting people's names up on the television.
The 自由 in 自由民主党 (which gets translated to English as the Liberal Democratic Party) means liberty or freedom.
https://www.jfsribbon.org/2024/11/blog-post_23.html Quite a few folks spoke at the Japanese conference on dealing with financial censorship earlier this month.
The previous post is actually from a couple of hours ago. I reposted it as it didn't federate properly.
Things seem to be working properly now though.
It's not just bugs, things seem to be federating slower than usual.
"Wikipedia didn't allow me to create pages for prominent voice actors because it wasn't 'relevant.'"
It's hard to understand until you learn the co-founder also owns a for-profit wiki hosting service (they seem to think they own your wiki) called Wikia. I think it rebranded as "Fandom".
Since things seem to be bugging out right now, I think I'll come back later.

"age verification" is not the only way that "age assurance" might be practiced badly.
