https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/23989#issuecomment-1628961709 Looks very bad for the usability of #Mastodon.

https://fightforthefuture.substack.com/p/policing-the-playhouse That is one interesting article.

Nor is there usually a distinction between giant and small. Again, kind of burdensome.

I'm not really a fan of these large corporate porn platforms tbh, however, it's annoying seeing the flimsiest claims being levelled against them.

The worst anti-porn hit piece I've seen so far was riddled with methodological flaws.

Things like "I saw a search result which I didn't clickthrough to", even though these have a tendency of being cached a fair bit after the original resource is deleted.

Or other elements which have a tendency of being cached on some sites (i.e. related keywords).

It was really bad.

Of course, I don't know what the particular basis for this is, however, if that is it, it would seem pretty weak.

Even with a stronger basis than this, it would not be particularly proportionate (or helpful).

In any case, arguments tend to be fairly speculative and unsubstantiated. That doesn't bode well for the proposition of any particular measure.

Noting that for "child porn", the Canadian Police took a look at reports from the website "Pornhub" and found that 90% of those sent by the platform were without merit.

There is also a possibility that they themselves are inflating these numbers because it is *Canada* after all. The actual numbers could be even lower.

According to a frivolous lawsuit from a religious group (which will probably get dismissed), the platform removed the content promptly, upon knowing of such content.

If you think about it, the amount of such content probably adds up to a mere few attempts per day.

Not every "porn platform" is Pornhub. Pornhub is very corporate and very big.

It's also not European, it's Canadian (duh), therefore any measure made here is irrelevant (although, Canadian authoritarianism would be problematic in it's own right).

I don't think identifying uploaders to "porn platforms" is a good idea. Some reasons why:

1) I don't think their ideas make a distinction between real and fictional content. If that was put in place, it would create a pointless burden.

2) "porn platforms" are often not used just for "porn".

3) Safety?

4) Likely triggered by moral panic / misrepresentations?

Only part of the Parliament though.

Fun anime.

Comrade feels kind of communist... Oh well. It will have to do, lol.

Kinkphobia is really silly, to begin with.

Keeping it humorous, but yeah, kink shaming is a form of abuse.

I spoke to my good friend, God, and he agrees that kink shaming is wrong, and psychologically harmful.

Everyone should be respectful to their, uh, comrades and their rights.

Also, both funny and cute #anime pictured, lol.

As someone has pointed out, Jitsi Meet is an open source alternative to Zoom. It even has support for end-to-end encryption.

Contrary to what you might think, it's not just federal prisons which make use of solitary confinement, it's also immigration facilities.

Someone talks about immutability and the question which comes to my mind is whether someone's optimized the compiler to reduce the number of copies.
