I will say, he is entertaining.
Have you seen the video where he says, in all seriousness, "God told me to.. DESTROY. JOE. ROGAN." Unfortunately we've hit this point in our society where being attention-grabbing makes you a source of truth. Maybe that's the way people have always been.

If that's the only thing Germany ever requested to have removed, then it's only because Netflix had already done some serious self-policing. They've gotten a little better in just the last few years, but Germany's censorship laws are still surprisingly draconian.

Bacefook has hired Jennifer Williams a former Fox and Friends producer to help "curate" the news, whatever that means.

Reddit banned several moderators of already-quarantined subreddit /r/The_Donald, and posted a strange set of rules for whom they would like to be the next moderators.
Understand, as a private place they can manage political matters however they like; but this brazen micro-management of a forum is ridiculous. I'm like, that's not how this works. Separately, Reddit announced that they would ban users who "consistently upvote policy-breaking content within quarantined communities." Good lord. This means they're doing data-mining to locate users they don't like! My theory is that Reddit, which started out very okay, has lost its mojo over the last year or two -- due to an influx of low-quality users. I'm talking about teenagers, low-IQ shitposters, brazen keyboard warriors. Better quality users are departing, because why deal with all of that? All these types are attracted to Reddit because its lack of real community; how it treats anonymity, how it fails to protect communities and instead tries to protect itself. How it does not support real conversation. Reddit's answer to this is to create and enforce its own personal and, BTW, corporate cancel culture. Bold strategy, let's see if it pays off. |

I try to stay off of politics forums, and other such BS. The only thing I look at on Reddit is the BBQ and smoking meat forums. This morning I was looking at Fark.com and every tab I clicked on was either about trump, or Bernie. I haven't been back.

Curate is a technical term that means responsibility without authority, aka "you got left holding the bag."

How are the rules strange?
ETA: Legit asking, I have no idea what their rules are for that or any other subreddit
