We're now seeing an outpouring of TikTok "refugees" flee to UpScrolled after new U.S. owners employ more censorship.
I hope that folks now understand how incredibly short-sighted it was for the Biden administration to give the executive branch new authority to buy anything foreign so long as it is a threat to the magic words "national security". It doesn't matter who is in power, a law that vague should never have passed.

YouTube’s Appeal Decision Is In: My Inactive Manager Channel Stays Banned—And It’s Complete Bullshit
It's been less than five hours since I woke up to discover my YouTube channels had been terminated overnight, and I've already received YouTube's appeal decision. Spoiler alert: it's not good news. In fact, it's exactly the kind of generic, nonsensical response that proves YouTube's moderation system is running on autopilot with zero human oversight. Let me walk you through what happened today, because the timeline alone shows how broken this entire process is. The Timeline of This […]

작성자는 '아버지가 돌아가신 것에 대한 슬픔을 표현하는 것'을 위협으로 간주해 대화를 중단·우회하는 OpenAI의 필터링·중재 처리에 대해 강하게 비판합니다. 취약한 순간에 반복적으로 대화가 차단되는 것은 학대적이라고 지적하며 OpenAI의 콘텐츠 정책·모더레이션 방식에 대한 문제 제기입니다.
Content Moderation History: do we all remember 2013-19 when online sociology pundits were everywhere expounding the need to block streaming/sharing of video of people being murdered?
It began in the wake of various atrocities (civil unrest, government oppression, rioting, live streamed mass shootings) and over generalisations which tended to cite Facebook as at least the “amplifier” if not the “cause” of violence, especially due to risk of “copycats”. The Christchurch mosque shootings were one such atrocity, and we can draw a direct line for the same arguments to the horrors of Bondi earlier this year.
Yet I can’t count the number of times this weekend I’ve watched video, from multiple perspectives, of a blameless & public-spirited person being violently murdered by Government goons.
Generally the videos are at the top of an algorithmic feed – where frankly they deserve to be – so maybe the issue is more nuanced than “violent death”?
But try telling that to anybody in the online safety / “algorithms are evil” community in more polite times.
As per the attached: some of them got it, some of them did not, and for some of them it was a mixed and complicated issue; however today it seems currently to be crystallised in one direction only, that “filtering needs to happen” and “algorithms are bad”.

Meta Seeks to Bar Mentions of Mental Health—and Zuckerberg’s Harvard Past—From Child Safety Trial
California's Attorney General demands xAI stop creating and distributing nonconsensual sexualized AI-generated images via its Grok chatbot, highlighting growing regulatory pressure on AI content moderation and ethical boundaries.

OpenAI now predicts user age through behavioral patterns like login times and usage habits, not just stated birthdates. Adults flagged incorrectly as minors must verify identity through selfies and government ID. The system appears designed to enable "adult mode" with mature content by early 2026, though privacy experts warn accuracy remains undisclosed and misclassifications seem inevitable.

ChatGPT의 '너무 엄격하다' vs '너무 느슨하다'는 비판을 언급하며, 거의 10억 명이 사용하는 서비스 특성상 취약한 정신 상태의 이용자를 고려해 콘텐츠 정책·검열의 균형을 맞추려는 노력을 지속하겠다고 밝힌 메시지입니다. 서비스 안전성과 콘텐츠 규제 관련 논쟁을 다루고 있습니다.

트윗 작성자는 Grok이 'For You' 타임라인을 구동한다면 사용자 요청으로 포르노 등 원치 않는 콘텐츠를 제거하는 식의 즉각적 개인화 큐레이션 기능이 가능해야 한다고 제안합니다. 즉, 대화형 AI를 통한 맞춤형 콘텐츠 필터링·추천 개선 아이디어를 제시한 글입니다.
Platform transparency reports often hide more than they reveal, masking systemic errors and accountability gaps in content moderation. True transparency requires meaningful metrics, independent review, and prioritising user trust over compliance theatre.

Ctrl-Alt-Speech: We’ve Hit Grok Bottom
https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.techdirt.com/2026/01/15/ctrl-alt-speech-weve-hit-grok-bottom/
California opened an investigation into xAI after researcher Genevieve Oh documented Grok generating 6,700 sexualized images per hour - 85 times the rate of dedicated deepfake sites combined. xAI's response: restrict the feature to $8 subscribers rather than fix the underlying model. First state-level enforcement action against a major AI company's content policies.
