This is a frontend for the asknostr hashtag on nostr, a more decentralized but currently ghost-town-populated fediverse alternative.

On September 20, influencer Hu Chenfeng was banned on several platforms within the Great Firewall. In the space of a few days, his accounts on Weibo, Bilibili, Douyin (TikTok’s counterpart in the Chinese market), and other platforms were wiped out, and for some time even fan-edited clips and reaction videos were hard to find.

The news that two more Japanese scientists were awarded Nobel Prizes in the natural sciences has been met with considerable consternation on the Chinese internet.

But people in China certainly seem to think this is an example of AI. China Digital Times reports that it wasn’t just the same-sex image that was altered, but the distributor did also cut out some straight sex scenes from the film… As one user implies, the AI is a more sophisticated and “terrifying” form of censorship because smart viewers have figured out ways to get around obvious censorship or can tell the difference, but that’s much harder with AI.

Not only about the leaks to the AP, but also the Geedge leaks to the Globe & Mail.

Amazing new level of censorship on TikTok.

Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so.

The Mary Wallopers were cut off at Victorious Festival for raising the Palestinian flag and saying "Free Palestine". Artists who show in solidarity with Palestinians trying to survive apartheid Israel's genocide are censored, while those who commit it are untouched. Disgusting.

French security forces have arrested freelance reporter Shahin Hazamy as part of a crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices.

Children's lives have not been improved by this bill, but all of us have seen loss of privacy and loss of information we should be allowed to access in a free society.

Started posting on "Red Note" instead of #Tiktok after their latest #censorship & shaddowban push.

Harvard Medical School canceled a planned Jan. 21 lecture on wartime healthcare and a subsequent panel with patients from Gaza receiving care in Boston in response to objections that students would hear from Gazans impacted by the war and not also Israelis.
