EEyyyyyyy

Governments are essentially moving to make it so that they can track our internet activity. There will be no such thing as privacy and anonymity on the Internet anymore. The world governments will be watching you, not just your own, all of them, and any site that won’t comply with the governments putting these laws into effect, will be banned in those countries.

This is a matter of privacy, of data security (how many places online do you want to be keeping your ID on file? The more that do, the more likely your data is exposed in a data breach), of censorship and of the freedom of information. The UK just banned an online ENCYCLOPEDIA. Not North Korea! Not China! The United Kingdom!!! Because they said it contained information inappropriate for minors, and it had to collect its users personal private data in order to let them see it, and they said no!

S.1748 - Kids Online Safety Act has been introduced in the United States Congress, and Australia and the EU are also looking at similar regulations.

Just because some of us are sex repulsed, or don’t want to have sex personally, does not mean we support censorship.

I saw a post blaming asexuals in an ace tag (not the main thank gods), and just wanted to say that censorship is bad for everyone have a nice day.

Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.

If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.

But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

Like to charge. Reblog to cast that Anthropic will have to pay out the ass.

The explosions were so loud, it felt like our ears would burst.

The ground shook violently.

Our hearts were pounding like they would explode from our chests.

They bombed a UN-run health clinic right next to us.

There were displaced families inside, and dozens of tents around it.

People were given just 20 minutes to evacuate and run for their lives.

It was a nightmare. Most left behind the few belongings they had and fled in panic.

Death was breathing just steps away.

Even places that are supposed to be safe are being destroyed.

The war is intensifying, and so is the hunger.

We’re not just hungry, we’re starving.

What you hear in the media about aid reaching Gaza is a cruel illusion.

Trying to reach even a loaf of bread can cost your life.

Prices are beyond reason, and there’s barely anything left to buy.

Gaza is being slowly strangled.

Please, if there’s still room in your heart,donate to help my family survive this nightmare. 🙏💔🇵🇸

Vetted!!!

😕😔💔

I created my campaign more than a year and two months ago. I communicated with many of you. I faced difficulties with the Internet in order to spread my campaign. I asked for your help at the height of the war.

Despite many attempts to publish, only a few people helped me, thank you to them, and many people ignored me.

The campaign's first and main goal was to travel outside Gaza and escape this horrific war, but because many people ignored me, I only received $5,000 in more than a year. It was too late, and the crossing was closed. We are now living inside a cage, trapped and afraid.

I also faced many challenges such as: my Tumblr account was banned more than 15 times, my PayPal account was banned twice, and they withheld $310.

As for the money I got from the campaign, we bought food and drinks and paid university fees (we are studying remotely).

I had decided to cancel my campaign and not post because this thing was making me worse than before due to people ignoring me and in a big way

But I decided to return to spreading my campaign because we are hungry. Yes, it is true that we are hungry. The entire Gaza Strip is now hungry, without any exaggeration. There is not a single loaf of bread. We have begun to lose balance due to the lack of food.

I hope everyone will help before it's too late.🙏🥹

So, this pride month, I want to give a special shout out to my fellow adverse/repulsed arospecs and aspecs

Shoutout to all acespecs who experience no sexual attraction

Shoutout to all acespecs who don't want to have sex

Shoutout to all arospecs who experience no romantic attraction

Shoutout to all arospecs who don't want romantic relationships

Shoutout to all aroaces who experience no romantic or sexual attraction

Shoutout to all aroaces who don't want romantic or sexual relationships

Shoutout to all aspecs who don't want a relationship of any kind be it romantic, sexual or platonic

Your experience and your identity are not just some harmful stereotype, and you belong in aspec spaces just as much as everyone else.

Signed,

It isn't a warzone.

It isn't chaos on the streets.

You have a handful of people acting violent that are using this as an opportunity to destroy shit.

You have more than a handful of really good people giving engaging speeches about protecting their cities and their people.

But the protests are mostly peaceful. With police not knowing what to do with themselves because its mostly peaceful just marching.

(I'm not condemning either group. I'm simply stating the all of these news articles about the city burning to the ground are false information. The protests are largely peaceful.)

Because there's a lot of bot accounts across social media sharing false information. And the news is sharing false information. The people on tiktok in LA are not having a bad time (except those being accosted by the cops).

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️

a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @

so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.

AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.

Except the actual real world outcome has become queer leftists abusively dog piling any actor they deem "inauthentic" leading to actors being forcefully outed against their will before they were ready in an attempt to make the abuse stop. Including children. People have been justifying psychologically tormenting literal children for not publicly disclosing (and being firm and set in) their gender and sexuality in order to work.

In many wants it's set back queer media and made people just as afraid of queer roles ruining their careers and their lives as they were when bigots were doing it. Which is not an improvement to the situation! It's really only giving cover to people who want none of this to exist.

We could have just praised the process we wanted to see. Personally I love seeing Jim Parsons take that big normative sitcom money and fucking off to make emotionally powerful queer films with it casting queer actors whenever he can. But praising that will always be more constructive than bullying Kit Connor. If Daniel Craig wants to spend the rest of his career making charming gay detective movies about helping marginalized woman get revenge on abusive rich assholes, then I don't care what his sexuality is because it's still pushing queer media far forward.

We could have positively addressed rainbow capitalism by supporting queer-owed business. We could have accepted that mainstreaming queer iconography at Target (much of it designed by queer people who got to pay their bills making it) would make space for people buying that small batch t-shirt at Pride. It's not like people only ever buy one t-shirt in their life.

A closeted-for-safety trans boy buying his first binder at Target could have created an opening for the next one to be from Shapeshifters. Instead he may never get the chance to know what it would feel feel like to take the first step because the wrong packaging could endanger him and the (fair) price mightbe unaffordable.

We can't built perils into doing better. We can't keep calling nigh-impossible next steps"the bare minimum" and tearing into them for every imperfection if we want people to do them at all. At minimum that's a burnout machine. At worst it gives bigots leverage to maker sure we have nothing. Kindness and enthuses support of what we want to see happen makes way more progress.
