For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

MODERATORS
I think my youtube account is 18 years old at this point
i went and double checked. Mine's 15.
Knowing google the AI would be absolute dogshit and would flag you as a minor anyway
If I were erroneously flagged I'd probably feel insulted.
I've been watching tutorials on renovating drywall though, so I'm probably in the clear.
Imo this has always about about restricting millions of people from open sources of information, next up, banning books or whatever
but first, kick every people off the internet who uses an anime pfp on twitter
good news / bad news on banning books: very few people read books so they are not as relevant. probably lower priority to ban.
Didn't stop them from going after libgen and zlibrary the last couple of years

as always "if _____ could change anything it would be illegal"
I didn't have an ID for a long time in my adulthood, same for credit card.
when are we gonna find out the "AI" is actually just a room full of nonces
Couple threads in my mind about this:
- Social media giants have been trying to figure out moderation for a while. It is always met with backlash. All this regulation is laundering the backlash to the government, giving tech companies a little PR help
- On that same beat, if everyone is documented then it makes moderation way easier from a technical standpoint. Fewer financial resources have to go into moderation.
- Part of this has to be a correction for bots. Tech giants are learning that unregulated bots are bad, especially with trying to train AI. They want to crush bots that are not theirs and validate that their users are real. This will help them tremendously with marketing as they can point to a real user base and know their AI training data is coming from real people
- There is also the dream that all this will be automated by AI, despite the UK suddenly being filled with Normans Reedus. So offloading resources from moderation isn't just moving it to ID validation, resources are also reduced there as well.
The world would be a better place if YouTube didn’t just ban the kids abut also banned all of the adults too.
