the point is that the government can't be trusted not to abuse that by defining hatespeech as whatever they want. our constitution was written by men who had just had a revolution because of the government abusing definitions to gently caress with them, and so wrote thing to try and prevent those abuses.

can you imagine if our current government could redefine hatespeech? it wouldn't be the nazis who had a problem

the government has already done that numerous times. if theres real public will to restrict a certain kind of speech, the First Amendment might as well be written on toilet paper for all the good it does

i thought the original compromise was that the @rdt account was considered personal but the @POTUS acct was considered an offical channel of govt communication, and that was the one that had to be preserved (which is why its never used lmao)

The Beginnings of AFC’s Web Archive

The best way to get a grip on what collections documenting internet culture and folklore would look like is to take a quick look at the initial list of sites we are collecting, or hoping to collect. By no means is this intended to be exhaustive, it’s really just a first step at collecting a slice of some of the records of digital culture.

So far we’ve received permission to crawl the following sites:

Boing Boing
Started as a Zine in 1988, Boing Boing has played and continues to play an important role in shaping and communicating digital culture.
Equestria Daily
Equestria Daily is a major fan site for bronies, fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic from outside the shows original target demographic of young girls. The rather large and active communities of Bronies on the web have become a focus of a range of ethnographic work, for example.
Fark
Originally launched in 1999, Fark is a community website that allows members to comment on a daily batch of news articles and other items from various websites. Links are submitted by Fark members (collectively referred to as “Farkers”).
Instructables
Instructables is a website specializing in user-created and uploaded do-it-yourself projects, which other users can comment on and rate for quality.
Know Your Meme
KnowYourMeme is a site dedicated to documenting Internet phenomena: viral videos, image macros, catchphrases, web celebs and more.
Something Awful
Something Awful includes blog entries, forums, feature articles, digitally edited pictures, and humorous media reviews.
YTMND
An initialism for “You’re the Man Now, Dog”, this site is an online community centered on the creation of hosted memetic web pages (known within the community as YTMNDs or sites).

We are awaiting permission clearance from five other sites that relate to cosplay, user-made artwork, fan fiction, urban legends and vernacular language.

If you type the letter “i” and it autocorrects to an “A” with a symbol
If you updated your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to iOS 11.1 and find that when you type the letter “i” it autocorrects to the letter “A” with a symbol, learn what to do.

Try setting up Text Replacement for the letter "i"

Here’s what you can do to work around the issue until it’s fixed by a future software update:
Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.
Tap .
For Phrase, type an upper-case "I". For Shortcut, type a lower-case "i."
