No Censorship - Tumblr Posts
Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.
Ho visto spesso sui social campagne pubblicitarie, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la sensibilizzazione sui comportamenti sessuali, dall'uso del preservativo alla restrizione dei contenuti pornografici (se dipendesse da me nessun minorenne in nessun caso avrebbe accesso a questi contenuti) notando una forma di censura "nuova" molto sottile e forse per questo molto pericolosa. Sto parlando della sostituzione della "s" di sesso e simili, con un numero o altro simbolo dalla forma molto simile, come in "S3sso" o persino "S3ss0". Premetto la mia ignoranza in tema di AI perchè non la uso nel mio lavoro. Non so minimamente come funziona l'algoritmo di instagram e di Facebook. Ma torniamo alla censura. Uno scarabocchio del genere come quello di cui sopra secondo me si commenta da solo. Ma evidentemente io vivo sulla luna, e spesso mi trovo a fare domande su cose cui nessuno mai riflette o che ad altri sembrano ovvie, scontate e banali ma che invece non lo sono. Ma, se non vuoi dire sesso, perchè lo scrivi? E se lo scrivi, perchè lo scrivi male? Tutti sappiamo che le applicazioni di AI, per quanto sofisticate, sono programmate e scritte in linguaggio informatico da persone, programmatori, copywriters, social media manager in team spesso giovani. Non sempre i giovani hanno la mente aperta e la maturità per capire che scrivere S3sso è una forma di censura e quindi progettare AI che non censurino i contenuti espliciti.
Oppure come dissi in un altro post su facebook piuttosto si crei una rete internet diversa, solo per adulti davvero inaccessibile ai minori o una rete internet separata solo per minori con accesso solo su autorizzazione degli adulti ai figli, minori, alunni, ecc. che è la stessa cosa.
In alternativa si potrebbero eliminare ma davvero, i contenuti espliciti dal web. Sono soluzioni complesse perchè i problemi che andrebbero a cercare di arginare, dalla pedopornografia, alla dipendenza dal web, sono complessi.
In questo contesto l'intelligenza artificiale non può essere la panacea per ogni male, ma utilizzata male si sta rilevando solo l'ennesimo passo indietro in direzione di un analfabetismo funzionale che, pare, non avere alcun limite
"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.
"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.
"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.
Freedom is always the freedom of others!

Putin has history books rewritten for schools and universities. Ted Cruz has books banned in schools.
Fathers of an idea who ultimately do not differ in their view of society. Neither of them wants responsible, enlightened, self-determined citizens.

When books are banned or history books are rewritten, the approach is never to protect the citizens but only to preserve the power of individuals.
Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.

Education is the friend of propaganda. Anyone who can think for themselves and can form an overall picture based on different facts from different sources is unfortunately useless for populist propaganda.
Just ask the British what happened to the oh-so-much money they supposedly had to pay to the EU after they went through with brexit.
Oh, the money didn't exist and the bus with the cool print was just propaganda from the brexit supporters.

However, there was a problem with this fact: it was patently untrue. Technically, the UK paid a gross £19.1bn into the EU budget in 2014, which equates to just over £350m a week. But thanks to Margaret Thatcher's hard-nosed negotiating skills in the 1980s, the country also receives a huge rebate of around £4.9bn, which never leaves Her Majesty's Treasury. The British also benefit from billions in various EU subsidies to the public sector. Add it all up and the UK's net contribution is around £9.9bn, just over half the amount touted by Brexit supporters. The total drops even further if you include things like the research funding the EU provides to UK universities.
You could have read about it in various sources, including books, but what the heck, gut feelings and felt facts are cooler!
There's a really clever saying: those who can read have a clear advantage.
I have never and will never understand or want to understand why such a mess is made about the female nipple.

In the name of the politically incorrect rabbit
By the way, I find the flattened chicken embryo much more blatant than any nipple!
A whole field full of white nipples was really disgusting, we were stunned and needed two years of therapy afterwards to come to terms with the sight. Of course we threw the camera away and she never took any decent pictures after that.
By the way, finally free the nipples or censor all nipples, in men, animals and vegetable protection covers!
It is our view that material on the internet should be labelled as adult content. We believe that parents and guardians are responsible for educating children about media content and preventing them from accessing it.
If you enter a porn shop and are offended by the content, you have no right to complain.
This only applies to content that is not contemptuous of human beings. Everything that is done with consent is available according to the principle of freedom.
mod
Our motto is if you don't like it then don't look at it.
Go back to Wattpad where they started censoring fics and leave AO3 alone, please.
Do you believe that AO3 should censor certain content?
Yes, some content should be censored
No, there should be no censorship

"But the art is gross!"
Come'ere and let me tell you a story.
When I was in my senior year, a painting of mine got into an art show at a university museum. I was wild crazy excited and wrote out my artists statement in one night about the piece. I painted it based off a photo I took of a local reservoir during a particularly bad time and my statement spoke about being queer in my city and finding peace at places like the reservoir. I painted it with pallet knives and acrylics.
I was forced to remove any mention of my queerness from my statement due to the "sexual nature" of it by people at my school. There was nothing sexual about it.
Obviously, I did it, with some pressure from others. but when I drove up to see it there, I could not feel proud of it there. Compliments felt hollow. I was told they placed it at the front because they loved it. But it was censored in a way that made it lesser to me. Often I wish I would have refused.
Censorship doesn't stop at "icky" things. It crawls and devours like ivy until everything is dead. Nothing remains.
Someone tagged a compilation of my art with "nsfwish" and I was so confused for a sec because I thought I had the cleanest most safest art in the world until I remembered one of them has their entire pussy out
