Australia's eSafety Commissioner just asked a royal commission for the power to order platforms to protect certain accounts and suspend everyone who piles on against them. She wants it to work across every platform. "Ratioing" someone could become a bannable offense.

There’s currently a vulnerability in Discord’s AI moderation that detects any and all square grid images, such as spreadsheets, chessboards, Minecraft inventories, white & gray transparent backgrounds… as CSAM and will permanently ban your account.
To keep your account safe, I would recommend NOT sending any sort of images anywhere until this vulnerability is fixed. If you are a server owner or admin, I would highly recommend to disable all image and gif/embed perms in your server for the time being.
To @discord@discord_support, this vulnerability needs to be fixed immediately with all false bans overturned. Additionally, AI moderation needs to be scrapped and replaced with humans. This is exactly why companies shouldn’t be using clankers to decide whether accounts should be banned or not. Losing a Discord account to something as unfair as this can be extremely devastating and affect users severely, and every day millions of users are affected by false AI bans. This needs to be stopped.
If you would like to spread awareness about this, feel free to like & repost.
⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️
Discord's moderation has gone HAYWIRE and is considering all grids and alike images to be unsafe material!
Do not post images of grids (I suggest not at all unless you have to) anywhere in Discord.
This news comes from the GWE Discord
The UK government are looking to directly get involved in the YouTube algorithm to push “traditional” media and downrank independent creators
This cannot be let to happen, it will affect EVERYONE.
I urge every single CC to talk about this
This Independence Day, YouTube is pushing back at the UK gov’s censorship power grab.
Its creator alert exposes the UK's plan: force American platforms to bury independent voices and shove BBC/ITV state media down everyone’s throat.
Legacy broadcasters would get the algorithm throne at the expense of independent creators.

so the government is planning MANDATORY CHANGES to how content is discovered on YouTube in the UK.
- they want YouTube to prioritise mainstream broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Channel 4 over user created content with a 'prominence regime'
this is absolutely insane and is going to severely affect everyone british youtuber should this go through. YouTube have started a campaign to fight this, but we need your help to ensure this doesn't go through like this, since this could RUIN the site
