That's not the kind I'm thinking of using here though.

I would like to avoid using the Brony documentary for this.

A call for articles debunking "only kids watch cartoons" for clueless people. #anime

Frustratingly, quite a few articles covering animations targeted at adults are wink wink and assume someone already knows what it is (which makes it hard for me to include it in a post to someone who does not).

For a blog, I'm experimenting with both hosted and self-hosted tools.

For the next update, I might tidy up the prohibition reference, and talk about animations targeted at adults more.

Remember that there were people who would use "porn sites" as general video hosting sites, perhaps because of less arbitrary / weird moderation. #FreeSpeech

It would be nice if a couple of studies explicitly said "photographs" rather than "images" because that is more ambiguous.

Unfortunately, instances of platform censorship aren't always that well documented.

Technically, all moderation would probably be censorship, but it wouldn't be a meaningful commentary, if I invoked that.

I view it from both lens, so I might think of how someone might apply a piece of policy (or draft that), and also call something out.

I've seen a few people refer to censorship as governmental and moderation as private censorship, however, I don't think that captures the dynamics here.

With private censorship, it is important to understand that a lot of the concern comes from the *sheer scale* at which they censor people.

The terms "moderation" and "censorship" come from different social contexts.

One is a term which community managers came up with to describe what they do.

One is a reaction to what governments (if you remember, governments even used to have offices with names like the Office of Film Censors) and private actors do (private censorship has gotten a lot more scrutiny in recent years).

In one case, they put emphasis on pushing for improvements in appeals processes and the like. They then go "hoorah!" as if this is a big victory.

It isn't as if this is without value but a bigger issue are deliberate policy decisions. Facebook removing nudity is a deliberate policy decision. It's not as simple as someone making a mistake.

I've seen the EFF and the ACLU doing good work to defend free expression.
