Bloomberg recently published an article on the proposed UK and EU laws that would force Facebook not to merely delete, but completely prevent "wrong" content from even appearing in the feeds. So we're getting there: people undoubtedly would start inventing euphemisms and loopholes to circumvent such policies, and the logical end would be adopting a whitelist approach, sorry, an allowlist approach of what kind of content is allowed to be published.
- hagbard_c 5y agoA form of Newspeak [1] has already started to grow in the form of people talking around the subjects mentioned in the Youtube blocklist and other 'forbidden' subjects. Some people use descriptive terms to indicate the forbidden subjects, others use non-verbal gestures, others again state emphatically they would never ever dare to claim that ... (insert the thing they actually want to claim) ... , often with a call to the censor to please not delete their account.
