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

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
-
You needlessly choose to take offence

I feel like it’s a balancing act and you can’t make everyone happy. I, personally, don’t hang around unmoderated communities because they are often worse: hostile, full of spam and questionable content… so basically /b/. But even 4chan is moderated to an extent shrug

They're widespread varieties of moderation taken to natural limits.
And they highlight the weaknesses of thinking that approach will save us when they're often blamed for doing the opposite.Clearly, you disagree with that kind of moderation, so maybe you should "no true Scotsman" this & define precise boundaries of moderation you accept.
The only type of moderation I might accept is the minimal necessary for legal compliance & labeling that allows the user to filter content themselves.become an utter pile of trash
abundance of ways to spread nonsense fully automatically
Matter of perspective: that "trash" we had before was beautiful.
Sifting & picking through it wasn't much of a problem.
Despite the low moderation, the nonsense didn't really spread & the fringe groups mostly kept to their odd sites when they weren't being ridiculed.Look at Nostr.
Also beautiful: beats bluesky & mastodon.
Given you’re literally starting off with ad hominem
Let's add hypercritical to the list.
I disagree with the alarmism over images & text on a screen, and I disagree with the infantilization of adults.
Adults still think and are responsible for exercising judgment in the information they consume.
Expressions alone do nothing until people choose to do something. -
No, they literally make a choice to make it about being gay and I honestly don't think that many people even thought about that aspect. I don't even know that they aren't gay for all I know, I don't care.

Queer and trans friends of mine were also laughing their asses off at this video....
And yes, calling out Trump as being the "beta cuck" to Elon DOES cause discomfort for a narcissist like Melania's husband.
And it's the sort of thing to push, to cause fractures in the white house.
-
The fact that a .world is aruging to use this weird homophobic video as a protest is just proving your point.
It's like how people think sharing that one image of Putin with drag make up is somehow a Gotcha to Putin, who probably doesn't even care. Wow, ya sure showed that dictator by posting a meme that uses gay stereotypes!

Yeah, .world gonna .world
