  • This whole thing started because right wing accounts were spreading misinformation and Moraes demanded they were taken down. Musk didn’t comply and removed Twitter’s legal representative here in order to not suffer the consequences.

    While I think it’s fair for Twitter to be taken down for that specific reason, the judge is also taking all vpn off google and apple which is incredibly dumb and a dangerous precedent. Lots of people use vpn to work or study. It’s like banning a knife because it has the ability to hurt people. I hope they contest this one part at least.

    Edit: they just went back on the decision to remove vpn, so it’s all good. Hooray.

    I wish my parents did this. I have such a mental block on cursing that I can’t bring myself to say it out loud, even though I’m thinking about it and it’s the perfect choice of words for the moment. I also feel socially left out by people around me because of that, as in they can be themselves and I have to restrain myself.

    Funny enough this is only in my native language. Since I grew up watching YouTube videos from english speaking people that cursed a lot, that feels very comfortable and natural.

    The other day I was rewatching some adventure time on hbo max and saw they were censoring the word idiot. I’m pretty sure they were censoring a bunch of other cartoons that weren’t censored back in the day. That pissed me off so much, they are just limiting our vocabulary more and more for words that have a somewhat negative connotation.
