I watch a news show on YouTube that censored "human trafficking" in an article excerpt. Really stupid to have social media policing news
I've been seeing a lot of "trigger warnings" myself. Idk when we decided to treat triggers exactly how the professionals say they should not be treated, (triggers are supposed to be identified, but it is your responsibility to learn how to deal with it and navigate life not the world's responsibility to cater to your every whim), but even so some of these "triggers" are patently ridiculous. On mastodon people are blurring pictures of dogs, cats, even fucking cartoons, for "eye contact." With a picture. Of a cat. Shit has gone too far.
Is warning people really catering to them? Maybe some people are learning how to deal with and the heads-up helps? Idk, that mastadon situation sounds ridiculous though. What instance is that from?
Tbh warning of "eye contact" be it humans depicted or otherwise is a bit much, as is "food" and probably some others I've seen I can't recall. I can't recall all the masto instances I've seen it from, it was standard practice before the Twitter people showed up. Some on the one I'm on even do it, though very few and rarely. Looks like it is less common now, but if you look around a bit you should still see it.
