Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Others have legally dissected every bullshit legal argument so far raised by tribe(tm) in the tribes devoted specifically to discussing the new censorship policies - they are not doing this to cover their asses in any realistic legal sense. They are most definitely not doing this to create a "respectful environment for everyone" - by allowing anti-everything extremists to censor certain people. It's a crass move by the tribe bureaucrats to appeal to advertisers (who are themselves overwhelmingly anti-sex extremists because that's who runs this country and has all the money), nothing more.
The tribe(tm) techno-bureaucrats built this site, it's huge number of members, the word of mouth networks, the countless tribes (not tm), the thousands of volunteer moderators, and all their its-per-day/eyeballs-per-minute/etc advertising selling points on OUR efforts - the freaks, weirdos, and perverts. Now, they want to kick us off, desperately hold on to the less controversial crowds who followed us here, gain more lucrative advertising clients who won't pay a site that allows free expression because it offends their extremist anti-sex sensibilities, and exploit our unpaid labors of love.
We are the new proles - "now we stand outcast and starving 'midst the wonders we have made."
A simple and stupid fact of the spineless pseudo-postmodern "internet economy" administered by boot licking, smug, short-sighted techsperts, as an appendage of the boneheaded pre-modern capitalist economy run by Calvinist scum who own the world (because their grandaddy's grandaddy killed a bunch of brown people for it fair and square) and are happily and rapidly destroying the inabitable planetary surface in a feeble attempt to please their angry little notion of God and bring about an apocalyspe.
James Baldwin put it best in a letter to Angela Davis:
"Your struggle is our struggle, for if they come for you in the morning they will be coming for us at night." they will be coming for us at night."
On a less polemical note, I have seen many people make claims in various tribe(tm) forums that messages and entire tribes(not tm) will or will not be deleted depending on whether someone thinks the message or tribe itself is offensive. I responded to Wade's emails asking quite directly for an answer to this concern.
I would like a yes or no answer. I still have not seen one, in my messages from Wade or in any forum in which this is being discussed.
They have made clear that photos will be deleted. Why not make clear whether messages and tribes will be deleted?
