A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Good. The Internet was always supposed to be an opportunity to expand the overton window. It's incredible how much we've been allowing tech companies to be censors in the first place, anything that undoes this development is good.

Sure, but this is only going to expand the Overton window in one direction. People with facts tend not to be as inflammatory.

EXACTLY Right! Because there's NO WAY YouTube will STILL Police things like Trans and Gay while not Policing Nazis and Child Rapists!
