Honestly, svar, I could possibly get behind that. It'd have to be a dystopian scenario, though

It'd be better for peoples mental health but it'd mean the death of opposition to the mainstream narrative on said internet and the media as you'd just be banned for hate speech the first time you typed nigger

Nigger

It isn't a one sided thing

The internet isn't so regulated nobody can use it

No just us

Well my parents and even eldest brother remember the ever present possibility of being unpersoned

I largely view the internet as a network of institutions.

Remember when it was happening to commies and the left thought it was bad?

If you think you can't express yourself in PC language you're incorrect

They all self-regulate in their own capacity.

They want you to requires an internet licence that requires id so you cannot be anon

I envision a dystopian regulation. AI takes over your computerized device. Tells you to "fuck off, meet this person here," as someone they've decided you would be willing to talk to over numerous subjects.

@svarozhyc you can't

No N word left unpunished

SUCK MY FAT NIGGER COCK

If I want to say that, the government should have no way to fkn stop me.

well they're going to, Scale_e

Gulags overflowing with thousands of people convicted of using the N word

Sadly, they do. Hard to fight a nuclear explosion.

Yeh

Sad

There's a reason why Orwell didn't attempt to describe how airstrip one came to be

It doesn't happen

It's a study of an extreme

Hasn't happened yet*

It's coming.

A what-if inside a what-if is perfectly reasonable in writing standards. Readers would just like to know the 'why'

@Samaritan™ nigger, now take me to gulag

We're already fighting revisionism on a daily basis.

You reckon it's something new?

I mean. Gulags and pogroms have happened.
It’s been as bad as airstrip one in the past.
No reason it can’t happen again.

Egyptians would scratch old hieroglyphs and retell the stories

Just wait until regimes, such as the PRC, deploy AI to create entirely artificial war documentaries, and all of the Asian world lives in an entirely fabricated, artifice of reality.

It's not new and it's not something only one side does
