Whether its Alex Jones or QAnon dweebs on reddit or a Benghazi hero or Roseanne or Milo, I've felt we've been under such a stream of censorship stories that we deserve a hub thread so the more mundane tally that doesn't merit a thread of their own can get a mention.

In the news today, we have Twitter refusing to promote any tweets containing the phrases "illegal alien" or "criminal alien" with a filter that labels them 'hate speech'. We've got the night of long knives on reddit for Q, the pushback against calls for censorship of the Serena Williams cartoonist in AU, and Norm MacDonald facing the onslaught.

But todays biggest comes from the EU, having just passed their new copyright law which included two articles (11 & 13) with the effects of taxing news aggregators for each material appearance of a news story on a website (ie google news blurbs now need to pay the papers they link to) and the infamous upload filter, some poorly thought out attempt to legislate mandatory content screening filters on all user-submitted media sites, a vote which is said to 'ban memes' that contain copy-rightable material in their images, which is basically all of them.

Great Awakening got banned? Damn... that stuff was fun to read. Amazing how detached from reality people can become.

Norm and Roseanne and similar situations I've fine with and I'm a 20+ year fan of both

They offer their personality talent and art for money and if people decide those personalities are no longer in their taste whether as fans or employers I'm alright with it

The cartoonist the same way.

don't belong in with search result stuff or any shenanigans like bans imo

Now that's going to be quite the continuing source of twitter censorship for some time to come.
If any right-wingers get interviewed by Alex Jones, his ban will encompass theirs and Jack Dorsey wins again

the new EU copyright law will be fun to watch, the late data protection law is already a ridiculous fail
the amount of borderline retarded and additional paperwork for literally nothing is something special

at the optician i had to sign a piece of paper so they could send my eye data to the glasses manufacturer ffs :lol:

a platform like youtube might as well shut down, if this new copyright trash is taken seriously
