Bluesky Deletes AI Protest Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual Explicit Material'

I don’t know, man. Seems to me conservatives let shit like that fester, while ignoring it (or further festering it) while they do the real dirty work in buried headlines.
They let us have the fun while they quietly pull everything out from under us.
But, at the same time, it’s just going to happen. People are frustrated with very little perceived outlet.
-
Why is it "very very stupid"?
-
"You're not protesting the right way! You have to stand up to them only in ways that are acceptable to me!"
Got it buddy.

It's been restored after the article published. Moderators removed it as it being "Non-consensual" due to their rules, which they were right to follow....but the exception is that this is "news-worthy" which I agree with.
-
A perfect breeding ground for growing localized power structures that aren’t bound to anything holding them back
Ok, read up a little about anarchism, and come back to the discussion. I can provide a starter primer, if you like.
To gain control over it as a society (i.e. democracy) is one of the greatest achievements of mankind.
The only control is the ruling class over the working class. I don't think that's a great achievement.

A protest is throwing a brick through a window. This ain't no protest.

I'm confused as to why this 404media story neglected to link to the post in question.
to get from this article to the post that it is about, i had to type in the bsky username from the screenshot and scroll through the timeline. to save others the effort:
https://bsky.app/profile/marisakabas.bsky.social/post/3liwlwvvq6k2s is the post which was removed.
https://bsky.app/profile/marisakabas.bsky.social/post/3lj3yrzc6is2p is the thread about it being removed and later restored.

Well, yes: gotta comply with the law.
Legal violations are often quite clear, and removing illegal content is justifiable.
Can't fault anyone for following the law.It's the extra moderation that's problematic.
People yearning for their corporate authorities to command the right words & images to appear on a screen & calling that progress feels quite backward like our ancestors fought so hard to gain these freedoms that our spoiled generation will so easily cede away to some nobodies at the slightest often imaginary inconvenience. -
You should grow up.
-
It is unanimously considered a protest. Why do you think you decide, not the people?
-
You needlessly choose to take offence. It shows who is sub and who dom. It doesn't matter, except to you it seems, what sex they have
-
Cause people are fucking stupid. You're a great example
-
Let me use another example: calling them "weird".
It doesn't matter to a rational person if another person calls them weird.
It matters to Reich wingers, who base their whole self identity on "matching the ideal".

Pretty much everyone used anonymous handles, so it was hard to be a victim, and very easy to disregard junk we didn't like.
I'm sensing strong overtones of a victim complex and excessive catastrophizing.
You know they're images & words on a screen, right?Enlightenment gives us freedom of expression.
It seems uninformed & backward to assume faceless moderators of some private organization are the defenders of enlightenment, freedom, & democracy (especially while arguing against too much freedom).
Centralized moderation & curation algorithms got us filter bubbles & echo chambers personalizing the information people consume & distorting their perceptions.
It feeds people the information they want to see (often polarizing them with extremist ideas), keeping users engaged on the platform so it continues earning a steady stream of ad revenue.
Rather than defend enlightened principles of society, moderators serve their own interests, which aren't necessarily in alignment with anything noble.Internet anarchy is a pretty good answer.

The only control is the ruling class over the working class. I don’t think that’s a great achievement.
That's a result of systems like capitalism, not democracy in itself.
Read up a little about the concept of democracy (and what isn't part of it) and come back to the discussion. -
True democracy, or majoritarianism?
-
Dude, you do realize I didn't endorse centralized moderation with a single word, let alone social algorithms or any of the other trash? I'm just not ignorant enough to believe the internet wouldn't become an utter pile of trash without any kind of moderation of oversight, especially with such an abundance of ways to spread nonsense fully automatically. Want to get a glimpse of how that would look like? Look at Nostr.
Given you're literally starting off with ad hominem any discussion with you is pointless anyway though. -
It is, for them.
Fucking delusional you think this is making them sweat at all
