Wow politicians seem pretty eager to ban/block Xitter on national level.

But somehow they don't seem to be inclined to do the way easier thing and just close their accounts there? 👀

Interesting.

Just to be clear, fsck Xitter with a 🌵. That Nazi bar needs to die.

But something tells me the eagerness for banning Xitter is not about Xitter, nor the #AISAM (AI-generated Sexual Abuse Materials) on it. It's about power, specifically power to block services politicians dislike.

In many places they already have that power of course (UK, for example), but this is a high profile case where blocking is very popular. It's a flex.

If they were serious about the harms, they'd simply quit Xitter.

@rysiek I don't think its ever about safety of children. It's always about power. The resources are always allocated to either censorship efforts or criminalization of often victimless crimes, while systemic problems that lead to abuse of actual children are rarely addressed.

https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-not-an-impasse-child-safety-privacy-and-healing-together was a great presentation on that from last congress.
