Things are moving along smoothely with the movie, but that's not why I'm here today. I normally don't speak on political matters on my own channel, but I feel compelled to speak on this (not that I'm a big enough voice for anyone to care). One thing I've always valued about the internet is the ability to access anything I want with the general responsibility to avoid things I deem "inappropriate" without complaining about it, and doing so without the internet looking over my shoulder, until now. Using "protecting the children" as a cheap scapegoat, the internet is being heavily censored. It started with Steam and Itch io, and now mature content, and political opinions are going to be suppressed which is a violation of freedom of speech to the highest degree. Furthermore, I was also informed sites (YouTube being one of them) will start requiring additional personal information to get to bigger content and age verifications will be more strictly monitored. I am 18+ so it won't affect me, but it doesn't matter, youtube already has my email and name to set up this account. I do not need to tell them my gender, my SSID, or my government ID (the last of which, will supposedly be implemented on August 13th). If youtube asks for my full ID, then this platform can kiss my ass goodbye. I'd like to remind folks that the net is not sacred, but neither are theses activists attempting to control how we think. I encourage loose people who aren't afraid to break the rules. Resist this change and defend your freedoms, say whatever the hell you want to say. Consider consequences, but do not fear or abide them.
Hope you all see this for what it really is and that this controlled, targetted, change can be reverted, and furthermore, censorship in itself can be abolished. If literally anyone takes the time to read this post, thank you.
