On principle, I gatta join in on this. The line of how far this policy will only broaden, now that foot in the door has been made.
Ay thanks.
There is no yet proven relationship between consumption of extremist online content and adoption of extremist ideology (McCants, 2011; Rieger, Frischlich, & Bente, 2013), and some scholars and others remain sceptical of a significant role for the Internet in processes of online radicalization.
Many of these suggested interventions raise the specter of social media companies policing political thought, which is palatable to neither the companies nor many users, and is especially problematic in the absence of rigorous empirical research that analyzes the Internet’s role in processes of radicalization.
For the first time, based on a content analysis of actual right-wing and Islamic extremist
Internet videos, our study used state-of-the-art methods from experimental media
psychology for tracking the emotional and cognitive responses of a broad sample
of 450 young male adults. As expected, we mostly found rejection and never
strong acceptance for the extremist videos. Still, specific production styles and
audience characteristics were able to cause at least neutral attitudes underpinning
the strategic potential of internet propaganda. In the end, our studies might result
in more questions than answers. However, we are confident that the conceptual as
well as the methodological way chosen is most promising as to approach a deeper
understanding of the first effects of extremist Internet propaganda.
Taken together, our findings suggest that censorship in China is effective not only because the regime
makes it difficult to access sensitive information, but also because it fosters an environment in which citizens
do not demand such information in the first place.
In fact, explicit censorship and
salient actions to block information access can backfire — information consumption may actually increase,
similar to the so-called “forbidden fruit effect” (Hobbs and Roberts, 2016).
In certain circumstances, sudden censorship can even result in the opposite of the intended effect: an increase in access to off-limits information among people motivated by the new censorship to seek out avenues for evasion.
For example, when Wikimedia, a Wikipedia-like website in France, was allegedly asked by France’s intelligence agency to remove part of an article, the report of the attempted censorship launched an international campaign against it, and the page ended up becoming the most-viewed page on the website.4 In this case, censorship itself caused political backlash that attracted attention to the information the government had hoped to make less accessible.
The Atlantic article avoids mentioning the half-million pornographic images the site hosts, because doing so reveals that the community’s widespread opposition to content moderation on their imageboard is about protecting sexually explicit content rather than creating a space for hateful politics to flourish, and it further reveals that the Bronies are 500 times more interested in having sex with My Little Pony characters than they are in spreading racist pony memes.
If people are gonna whine this hard about temporary tag restrictions or whatever then the staff might as well go Full Exterminatus on the nazi “”“jokes””” and let the incels fuck off to their weird new booru with humanized foalcon.Artists as a rule have traditionally leaned left. Yall a drop in the bucket and you won’t be missed.

Where can i see the artists that will ask for DNP? I want to know for follow them in other sites 🤔
I would like to know as well, but as stated earlier, a lot of artists probably wouldn’t feel comfortable putting their name out there even if they do decide to DNP. Which is a sentiment I can respect. Perhaps artists who feel comfortable could share where best to follow them in this thread? Would that be appropriate?I know the easy answer is “just follow them on twitter,” but damn I really, really hate using twitter and hope one of the different alternatives to Derpi take off.
