I reposted something because there was a federation bug.

Since there's a scandal about censorship:

https://qoto.org/@olives/113361636922921463 This goes over things like porn, science, tech, #HumanRights. A critique of censorship, prohibition, and other related things. #FreeSpeech #Visa #MasterCard #Steam #itchio

https://www.change.org/p/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups-stop-controlling-what-we-can-watch-read-or-play Another petition against financial censorship (it's not clear OnlyFans is bad though). #HumanRights #FreeSpeech #Visa #MasterCard #Steam #itchio

https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy A petition against financial censorship. #HumanRights #FreeSpeech #Visa #MasterCard #Steam #itchio

There are signs Bluesky censorship has surged (or it might be bots).

Sometimes, there is a federation bug and I have to repost something.

https://protectthestack.org This kind of panel seems like it would touch upon issues raised here. #FreeSpeech #IGF #HumanRights

Since this mentions #Discord in particular, Discord's policies are pretty bad for free expression, particularly when it comes to sexual expression (and it's a blunt ban). I get there are worse services but still. #FreeSpeech

https://intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2025-ws-219-generative-ai-llms-in-content-moderation-rights-risks I have 3 concerns here with #AI mods. Accuracy, biases, privacy. #FreeSpeech #IGF #HumanRights

A so-called "duty of care" would drive extreme censorship and stifle innovation. There is also a limit to what a platform can realistically do to deal with misuse. #FreeSpeech #IGF
