Good thing we're destroying the Internet for entirely performative "for the children" bullshit while there's child rapists in the highest ranks of government and business.

I believe the censorship campaign is about preventing teens from learning about things that led the to protest against the government, like global warming, the existence of LGBT people, and the treatment of Palestinians
@alienghic @thomasfuchs Or about their bodies, gay and trans folk...things they can't ask their parent about for whatever reason. They want to cut off gay and trans kids. If they cared about the kids, they would make sure schools taught media literacy from early ages up through graduating high school, but tech bros and data miners would not like an informed public.

This fucking timeline.
@thomasfuchs It's not performative, and censoring what kids can see is only part of it. The long-term goal is have all activities on the net tied to you as a person, ideally in a legally-enforceable way.

The Republican censors have highly active trying to suppress information about LGBT people, the history of slavery in the USA, information about global warming, and Israel's genocide.
The USA tiktok ban looked to be most motivated by the information about Israeli genocide.
What is the correct amount of pro-Palestine content?
After pro-Palestine content flooded the app, Congress treated TikTok as a national security threat. What changed?
The Verge (www.theverge.com)
I tend to summarize it as the conservatives are trying to block access to anything that leads kids to turn against conservatives.
Which depending on the teen can be any of those things.
So yes, they do want to suppress knowledge of complex concepts of gender.
I think it's important to remember the republicans are trying to maintain both a white supremacist racial hierarchy and a rigid patriarchal hierarchy.

@alienghic @thomasfuchs Yep. It won't make kids not gay or not trans, but will screw up their early years.

@klausman It's performative because the powers that be pretend it's about protecting children when in reality it's to censor and control the Internet.
"Performative" means "pretending to be good and virtuous but not doing the actual work" (or in this case actually having sinister ulterior motives).

@thomasfuchs well yes, I had misparsed that bit. I blame a lack of caffeine and Monday

@alienghic It's much darker. They want to establish an authoritarian rule where everyone is under surveillance.
The rich and powerful that pull the strings in this world see themselves as the "cognitive elite". They are deep into eugenics. That's why Elon Musk has so many children. These people want all of the future people to come from their seed, to create a superior race. They truly think of themselves as more intelligent than us, and of the fact that they managed to become billionaires and we didn't, as proof of their superior intellect.
They know they need us regular folks for labor, as slaves, so they can't kill all of us. But they are making sure that they will at least be able to control every last aspect of our lives. Including making sure that we, the non-billionaires and thus "stupid" people don't breed, to not cross their eugenicist plans.
The rich and powerful really are that deranged, as bizarre und unbelievable as all of that sounds.

@thomasfuchs I suspect that those loaded with wealth often create a sense of entitlement that is coupled with the seeking of ever more 'thrilling' novelty ... children for sexual gratification of men seems to fit that bill. A most sinister form of brutal evil.
