Mullvad was banned on British TV. And then? And then this underground ad got banned by the government body Transport For London.
The argument was clear: you cannot encourage people to engage with a banned TV commercial.
@mullvadnet BBC is about to learn something about the Streisand effect now ...

@mullvadnet you can’t just say that and then not provide a proper link

@dazo @mullvadnet errmmm what does BBC have to do with this? No adverts on BBC, so I don't see how they're involved

It's like they're doing your marketing for you!@light @mullvadnet True 😄 That’s the power of social proof. When people talk about your product naturally, it feels authentic.
Have you ever bought something mainly because other people were talking about it? -
@mullvadnet they probably think it’s the 1960s when they could ban unfavorable opinions and keep them hidden
@Kierkegaanks @mullvadnet I think transparency matters a lot. When people understand why decisions are made, it usually reduces tension.
Have you seen communities handle disagreement in a way that worked really well? -

I did see your big anti-ChatControl ad at Odenplan station here at home in Stockholm today. Shit is on point. -

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online In Poland and other neighboring countries we used to have regimes that also liked to do it, now westerners can also experience good ol totalitarianism :)

@tragivictoria @mossman @dazo @mullvadnet the BBC can't have blocked an ad, they don't run any ads. It must have been other, commercial, channels.

@tragivictoria @dazo @tartley @mullvadnet okay, time for a little eduction then - everyone who watches TV in the UK is supposed to pay a kind of tax (the "license fee") which is what funds the BBC as well as subsidising some of the social and educational content of Channel 4 (and maybe other channels, not sure about that). The BBC was historically completely non commercial and supposed to provide a service to the people, and at the same time it was given a lot of independence (the government isn't actually supposed to control it), which is why it was able to be quite groundbreaking in a lot of its drama, documentaries, public service broadcasting etc. (It was also the first broadcaster in the world and has continued to be at the technical cutting edge throughout its existence.)
Nowadays, governments have pushed political appointments into the management - and there is more pressure to make money by outsourcing production, selling shows to other countries, etc. so its independence is being threatened more and more. But there is still no advertising on any of its UK TV, radio channels or websites(*). We pay for it to do its thing, and most of us like it that way.
(*) There are some international versions of BBC World - notably in the US, of course - where they have ads in between shows.

# Breaking!
The guy who invented "enshittification" just enshittified himself down his pants.
Actually this demonstrated how accurate the definition of the term is.
I hope he will not start suing anyone using #enshittification, though.

IRCv3 comes with significant usability improvements. I assume the Libera Chat @liberachat servers don't support v3 yet, right?

Come era la questione delle tutele nei confronti delle forze dell'ordine? Come era la questione che impedisce di assegnare un identificativo visibile?
