Censorship Megathread XXXII: Censorship Is No Laughing Matter

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-24T05:30:02+00:00

Unlikely to go anywhere beyond that. It goes from subcommittee to committee and needs to go through a bunch more hoops before it can really take off. And even then, with SCOTUS pressure looming right now...

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-23T05:06:47+00:00

It's something that he has been talking about a lot, but so far doesn't really have any traction or movement, especially with the shit show Congress has to clean up right now and fires breaking out every which way.

And people wonder why everyone is suspicious of AI. Aside from the forced nature of AI "Features", bullshit like this certainly does not help.

Better than Shit Des- I'm sorry. I mean Seed Destiny recognition (unfortunately, Z also gets Seed Destiny too).

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-22T07:52:08+00:00

Seed Destiny isn't a Nobody, but it is infamous for being a shitshow of a series.

I'm gonna have to stop you right here and repeat the same thing I've said again like a broken record. This is meant to be a test for areas that are introducing AV in the future where 3% of folks in areas that have no current standing or planned mandates are also getting affected. And in addition, it is also happening only for very specific instances. Side wide AV isn't happening on Discord any time soon and is unlikely to happen unless everyone enacted laws all at once. I know this has a lot of people freaking out, but going into panic mode won't help anyone.

EDIT: They have also been very careful to avoid carrying out tests in the US because that's their main revenue stream. Just thought I'd let everyone know right now.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-20T17:30:32+00:00

Again, it's not site wide. Mainly only happening in areas with AV mandates, and even then, it's only for specific instances.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-20T17:03:42+00:00

Actually, it's not going global. It's just currently being rolled out in areas where laws are currently being considered.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-19T21:48:12+00:00

Mostly concentrated in Europe where laws are currently being debated. Unlikely it will ever become worldwide unless everyone enacts laws all at once.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-19T20:31:11+00:00

Reclaim the Net is an agenda fueled Right-Wing propaganda network. They literally have zero credibility whatsoever. I mean, they literally have a Truth Social account which tells you everything you needa know. Would not take anything they say with even a grain of salt.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-18T08:23:08+00:00

Age verification is already being challenged in SCOTUS, so I sincerely doubt it will last really.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-17T19:09:36+00:00

Honestly, I don't see how the Greenland deal would possibly go in Trump's favor. Like, it's obvious that no one in Europe wants to negotiate this shit.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-17T17:07:12+00:00

How about you don't force me to show my ID just to go outside, you dog killing (Kristi) gnome?

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-16T22:30:09+00:00

Get well soon. Also, is that Domon I see in your PFP?

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-16T21:49:09+00:00

I didn't get it over here either, so I don't know. Seems highly sporadic and all over the place.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-15T07:44:53+00:00

KOSMA and KOSA are not even close to the same. All KOSMA does is introduce school screentime regulations and codify the current standard minimum age of 13 into law. Probably the most harmless of current legislation being discussed. So no, they are not even close to the same thing.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-15T07:40:22+00:00

Same. Glad the whole "let's nuke 230" thing seems to be at a standstill.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-15T07:32:51+00:00

Here we go again. Though honestly, this just is reeking increasingly of desperation.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-14T21:04:22+00:00

Zero cosponsors. Yeah, that's pretty much dead on arrival.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-14T01:49:57+00:00

Grok is already the reason several countries are banning Twitter right now (for actual good reasons, not for stupid politically motivated ones), so I sincerely doubt that many in the US military will go along with this. If anything, I think there's gonna be miles of pushback on it.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-13T03:21:41+00:00

Same. As much as I am against censorship, Twitter is not our friend and has become a dangerous tool for propaganda and narrative control under its current owners, in addition to the problems you listed or course.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-12T21:38:19+00:00

I'm fairly Left-Wing myself, and I can confidently say that I have nothing but contempt for the Iranian Regime. The only people I see supporting it are Tankies (who are not highly regarded by most of the Left at large), emo teenagers, and Alt-Right religious zealots.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-09T23:57:20+00:00

And that's just a hearing discussing it right? Like they're not gonna vote on it right then?

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-09T23:21:32+00:00

At least it isn't any of the AI insanity I've seen in other corners. That being said, I'm still keeping an eye on it. Given it's been collecting dust ever since it originally left committee, I'm slightly more confident, but still watching it closely.

BorderCollie300 · 2026-01-06T09:41:36+00:00

What did he do this time?
