Bit hard to read with the formatting. Looks like a good and interesting list though.
My mistake, I misunderstood and thought purge was already present.
I think my tendency would be to consider there to be about 3 categories of content. In parentheses is the result that I would probably go with when classifying the content in that category.
- Rule Violation (can be viewed upon click)
- Reprehensible (cannot be viewed)
- Banned/Illegal (purged from the DB)
Clearly banned/illegal or reprehensible content would also be rule violations in most cases, so I more mean that rule violation is the minimum category to be moderated and that a rule violation isn't excluded from the other categories, etc.
Given that purge exists, it seems like showing the content when you go to them makes sense.
The only other idea I have is implementing a click to reveal, but that seems like overkill to me.
now associated communism with fucking terrorists
What planet do you live on? Virtually everyone who is not a communist already associates us with terrorists. Until we begin to consistently meet people's material needs, that is not going to change.
The dude was protecting his identity, and I applaud him for his virtually entirely positive contributions to our movement.
I'll start:
- Revolutionary Left Radio
- Red Menace
- Guerilla History
- The Socialist Program
- Empire Files
- The Red Nation Podcast
Let's pretend there was a consensus of malicious internet companies, and a sufficient number of people wished to strip those companies of their power. That group of people could establish a new network of DNS servers which specifically refuse to resolve the perceived malicious domains.
Let's just take one example. Let's pretend there is a website that serves video content, but this website tracks its users aggressively. Their domain is example.com.
Even some of the users who dislike the example.com service might want to be able to consume the video content, so there could even be proxy servers which would provide access to the content without allowing things like the tracking javascript to leak through.
I'm massively oversimplifying the technical details of how this would be achieved, but I'm just curious if anyone else had considered this possibility.
Maybe DNS is the wrong layer to execute this political action, but I feel like there exists a technical approach to such political action.
Edit: I completely glossed over the SSL/CA implications of the proxying service, not because I don't know the implications exist, but because it's a complicated topic, and I'm not exactly sure how best to resolve it, especially for users who would not understand the risks of sharing things like user credentials over a proxy service like this.
I hope this can serve more as a discussion starting point than a prescription.
One more clarification: I imagine something like one or more Political Action Committees running these DNS servers. That person or group of people would choose a list of domains to blacklist, and deny DNS resolution for those domains or resolve to 127.0.0.1.
