Also Apple banned this keyword like over 4 years ago - they've had PLENTY of time to have fixed this.

This is part of a larger problem where companies - in an attempt to ban NSFW content - end up banning queer content. Keywords can have multiple contexts and banned searches need to take into account this contextual information.

Just figured out this morning that the Apple keyboard bans the keyword "gay" but not "genocide", "murder", "Qanon", or "holocaust" 😑😑.

Quality moderation policies TikTok πŸ™„ Also sidenote, some of these policies are weirdly specific - like how did they decide that 3 sec is ok for kissing? Or that specifically owning monkeys is ok for a pet? .

I don't think they understood what people meant when they said that gender identity is not a binary.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the affordances of social media profit from extremism. When you design your site to keep people financially incentivized to be constantly engaged, you create a pipeline for radicalization.

One white nationalist used a livestreaming site called Dlive to broadcast his actions during the riot at the Capitol on Wednesday β€” and made more than $2,000 doing it, according to some estimates.

As an absolute bare minimum, the capitol police department needs to be held to the same standards as other law enforcement agencies.

The capitol police department ($515.5 million) has nearly the same budget as the D.C. municipal PD ($568 million), but has no clear mechanisms for public transparency and accountability. Y'all this has got to change.

The capitol police department also has no civilian oversight committee either (for comparison, the overwhelming majority of US police departments have this, some have even had oversight committees going back as far as the 1930s).

Related "fun fact" - the capitol police department is not subject to FOIA requests because they are under the legislative branch, meaning their operations, spending, ect is completely secret to the public. .
