payment processor overreach at the behest of conservative puritan think-tank. is there anything more classic
hexbear should make its own payment processor. We could call it Sexbear
gay porn games could get their funding, and 95% of yall who are out of work are computer nerds, so, it's win win. perfect. if some of you are wondering what the perfect 5 year plan is, it's this
Aren't they mostly focusing on r*pe and incest content?
OFC it's not good for payment providers to exercise this much power over content restrictions, like they already did on Steam
there have been multiple claims that sfw queer content was also targeted
We have “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from our browse and search pages.
All NSFW content is affected, at least pending review.
Even if they were (They're not actually) that would still be bad. Apart from the fact that nobody is hurt by the existence of incest porn and plenty of people are into CNC and pornographic fantasy content featuringremoved in a way that also doesnt hurt anybody, more objectionable material will always be the wedge they use to allow them to enforce puritanical standards that will come for queen people.
queen people.
I'd say cracking down on monarchists is good.
No. And they've got a long history of just outright dishonesty regarding the content they claim they're fighting. For example; going after media with critical depictions of domestic abuse by claiming it promotes it. A lie that would be totally nonesensical to anyone who has watched or played said media, until you realise that they're a sockpuppet org for the extreme fundamentalist Christian rightwing that absolutely does not give a shit about the sexual exploitation, abuse, or oppression of women.

Scrolling through my news feed adding "trans authors impacted" to the end of every headline and becoming more and more concerned.
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
