Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Scrolling through my news feed adding "trans authors impacted" to the end of every headline and becoming more and more concerned.
payment processor overreach at the behest of conservative puritan think-tank. is there anything more classic
hexbear should make its own payment processor. We could call it Sexbear
gay porn games could get their funding, and 95% of yall who are out of work are computer nerds, so, it's win win. perfect. if some of you are wondering what the perfect 5 year plan is, it's this
Aren't they mostly focusing on r*pe and incest content?
OFC it's not good for payment providers to exercise this much power over content restrictions, like they already did on Steam
No. And they've got a long history of just outright dishonesty regarding the content they claim they're fighting. For example; going after media with critical depictions of domestic abuse by claiming it promotes it. A lie that would be totally nonesensical to anyone who has watched or played said media, until you realise that they're a sockpuppet org for the extreme fundamentalist Christian rightwing that absolutely does not give a shit about the sexual exploitation, abuse, or oppression of women.
there have been multiple claims that sfw queer content was also targeted
We have “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from our browse and search pages.
All NSFW content is affected, at least pending review.
Even if they were (They're not actually) that would still be bad. Apart from the fact that nobody is hurt by the existence of incest porn and plenty of people are into CNC and pornographic fantasy content featuringremoved in a way that also doesnt hurt anybody, more objectionable material will always be the wedge they use to allow them to enforce puritanical standards that will come for queen people.
queen people.
I'd say cracking down on monarchists is good.
What's next CCP Brainwashing Milkers?
