May what comes next be better than all of this.

Look in my bio if you managed to save it before twitter here goes dark.

I. I liked this place, chaotic and potentially evil as it was.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I will do everything in my power to fight this.

Prime Minister Starmer's announcement of mandatory digital IDs has shaken the UK. An official UK Parliament petition opposing the move gained more than 1 million signatures in 24 hours. The previous record for this system is approximately 6 million, but depending on future developments, it is likely to surpass that figure. The Prime Minister claims that this is a measure to combat illegal immigration, but if we understand the reality of illegal immigration, it is clear that this will not be effective. His post even includes a community note. Moves to eliminate online anonymity in the name of "crime prevention" and "youth protection" are becoming more prevalent around the world. However, if state power intervenes, with the advancement of AI, this could lead to a society of unprecedented control. We must be sensitive to such movements and speak out. Regarding the UK incident, I sincerely hope that those who value freedom in the UK will stop it.

Currently people are contacting Visa and Mastercard, en-masse, in an effort to get them to explain why they are banning legal content from being transacted through their systems. These arbitrary restrictions caused companies, such as Steam, https://t.co/p8izycqtcO, and others to pull violent and adult video games from their platforms. They continue to remain silent on the reason WHY they enforced the restrictions on the companies. I surmise they are gagged from speaking through likely threat of regulatory pressure.

May I introduce, Russ Vought, a co-writer for Project 2025, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, AND Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

This man has already publicly stated his desire to have pornographic content, violent video games, and other types of content "harmful to children", banned from the internet. This claim he makes is not based on unbiased scientific testing.

In a two minute clip posted on YouTube by The Intercept the following transcript, highlighted in yellow, shows his intended starting point (start with children), and then he cuts himself off from explaining the next part of the plan, of violent video games, etc, as that route had failed twice already in the past few decades.

Now, as his position in the CFPB, he has ultimate authority over payment providers and banks, and he has likely been abusing this power to strong-arm changes in these privately owned businesses regarding content he specifically had shown his distaste and hatred towards previously. All clearly telegraphed before hand, many years ago.

This was ALL done in the guise of protecting the children. Admittedly, it is a very solid tactic, at the core. But, if you use the mantra of protecting the children, it tends to mean that it's just a ploy, usually to further a specific agenda.

They are a threat against the United States, nay, the entire world. They are a threat against our democracy, a threat against free speech, and a threat against gamers, a threat against media in general.

These are the same people who believe violent video games cause violent things. An entire generation of individuals have been playing Grand Theft Auto, playing Doom, Quake, and other games, but we are not currently, nor will we face a worldwide pandemic of armed car robberies, driving on sidewalks for the fun of it, or people running around with sawed off shotguns killing demons, or raping people, because a video game was made exploring the content.

Those in power have been eroding free speech in the law. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) provides immunity to online platforms from liability for content posted by their users. They are actively attempting to kill this protection to further their goals outlined in Project 2025, by passing liabilities of their userbase onto the operators via financial regulation threats and pressure, thus killing speech directly, while still keeping in the shadows publicly.

"He filmed the crimes and posted monetized rape videos on P*rnhub, earning revenue for him and the site owners."

This is their attempt to kill section 230 immunity.

You should not be frightened that they MAY come into power, they are ALREADY IN POWER. They are exercising it spectacularly, taking baby steps to erode away your speech, and we've all been asleep at the wheel.

BREAKING CENSORSHIP NEWS:

America is trying to pass a bill titled "Kids Online Safety Act" and the shocking part is the UK just made a law called "UK's Online Safety Act"

There's an active push around the world to censor the internet. Here's the link

@TomFawkes I mean, its also prime week at amazon. Theres a non-zero chance a chunk of your viewers are stuck with too much overtime because either they work there (hi by the by!) or somewhere desperate to compete with that sales period, for some ridiculous reason.

@BrandonRStreams Maybe some delicious pancakes might help?

(JP users a few years back noted that, for some reason, posting a picture of really delicious pancakes with a caption more or less stating such has a tendency to get rid of the shadow ban effect. No idea if it still works though)

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

So I just had a peek at all the sites in Japan hit by VISA and Mastercard.

Its actually insane how many businesses have been harmed and barely anyone talks about it.

I fear the word you're looking for is respect. Fear should have no place in a relationship. Not familial, romantic nor platonic. I do not want anyone I love to fear me nor do I want to fear them. If it takes fear to maintain a relationship then I do not want it.

i think some of you guys missed the point of the "first they came for" poem, which is "you have to show up for the first guy they come for and not wait to freak out until they come for you"

@ZerotSolar @toonzguy @ANTllSM At least games that do have that seem to be required to say so on the box.

The Bravely Default remake... Remaster... Re something has it, but oddly enough some things like cyberpunk don't?

[Crystalorbie @Crystalorbie]

@toonzguy @ANTllSM Specifically Mario Kart is, as Donkey Kong Bonanza is listed cheaper, though I forget if physical for it was $70 or $80.
