       Holy crap, google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from google play on the grounds that that some servers in the fediverse engage in hate speech. At least three apps I know of anyway and I'd imagine the others will follow soon under the exact same reasoning.} Seems to be the case with Husky, Fedilab, and "subway" tooter.this is a scary precedent if google play is going to ban any apps that can in any way be used to access content with hate speech. So what about a forum client, do they take that down just because there is a forum somewhere on the internet posting hate speech?This is particularly worrisome because for most people Google Play is the only way they understand to install apps at all.Picture attached of one of the notices received by fedilab.https://toot.fedilab.app/@fedilab/104761140268193772https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/104763960269049818@fedilab @tateisu #fediverse #mastoadmin #freespeech #censorship

       @freemo I think this is basically an ultimatum to the app maintainer to "implement a block on Gab".

       @freemo this happened to Clover, an imageboard client, because it supported access to 4chan - a site that Google considered unpalatable.At the time, it was mostly cheered by a lot of the same people as use mastodon. It's unfortunate the precedent has come full circle.

       @kline funny how they dont apply that same logic to their own apps. If they were to truly be fair they would have to take down Chrome from play store on the grounds that it can be used to access 4chan.

       @freemo Gab doesn't federate (i.e. they broke server-to-server communication) but as far as I'm aware you can still use Husky to log in (i.e. client-to-server communication still works).  Tusky has a "feature" that I think directs you to a deradicalisation page if you try to log into an account on Gab, but the Husky derivative removed that block.

       @khird ahh yes, that may be true.. but there is plenty of hate speech on other servers too, some just as bad or worse than gab... how far will they take this, do app maintainers really need to be int he business of maintaining a mile long block list?

       @freemo to be fair, I suspect this could be a time of reckoning for the fediverse. The willingness of people to draw instant parallels between software ("FOR ANY PURPOSE") and the beliefs and moral values of the users.In the past, large swathes of the fediverse have written off pleroma and pleroma users as undesirable, regardless of whether that was true or not, because of a small element who were.Google has now decided that fediverse apps, it seems, are likewise undesirable because of a small number of non-representative users. First we have sown, now we reap.

       @izarella Yup it is, and people wonder why I'm so pro free speech, this right here is a prime example! The ironic thing is I have received a lot of hate and blocks from voicing my pro free speech stance, the very stance that would oppose this sort of injustice that effects them in the first place.

       @freemo The only reasonable model I see if Google takes a hard line on this is for apps to maintain a whitelist of known well-moderated instances, given how easy it is to set up a cheap instance to troll from.  And if the app developer is supposed to be personally responsible for the content accessible through the app, then he'll probably only whitelist an instance he has control over.  So you'll have a QOTO app, Gargron will have a Mastodon Social app, &c.  If Google doesn't like some instance's moderation policy they ban its app.

       @freemo Yup.  Google's starting assumption is that the app and the service are controlled by the same organisation (and this is actually a valid assumption in most proprietary, and even several FOSS, apps).  So consequently they can punish you for mismanagement of your service by interdicting your app.  Now we come along with our federated peg and it doesn't fit neatly into their hole for siloed apps, and their assumption breaks down.

       @khird Yupits the slippery slope of censorship.. Censorship never works so you have to get more and more drastic in the hopes of silencing the unwanted material. Eventually you have as more collateral damage than productive censorship.

       @freemoKind of. It's another case where the app is not necessarily controlled by the same people as the service is. You can subscribe to any repository you wish from F-Droid by entering its URL. By default, the app ships with two repositories enabled: one hosted by the app maintainers and one hosted by the Guardian Project, but there are others you can find online.Criteria for inclusion into a repository are set by the repository owners. The F-Droid repository hosts only open source apps, and the Guardian Project repository hosts only Guardian Project apps. As far as I know, the app itself enforces no restrictions on the content it will allow a user to access.@Khrys

       @freemo fedi moderation depends entirely on which instance you're on, which makes it a bit unique as far as social media is concerned. one could argue that the same should apply to irc clients, since there is probably hate speech somewhere on there too, but since chat is probably one of the things google's policies are designed to handle, they probably won't be affected by this.

       @freemo you do wonder how their policies deal with RSS readers, third-party browsers, etc, since they would also allow one to access hate speech.do these apps explicitly provide a list of instances? that may be part of the problem, since users (and google) may perceive this as endorsement of hate speech.

       @thor @freemo By the logic of banning apps from Google Play that can be used to access hateful content, the first thing to go would be Chrome, which not only lets you access arbitrary content, but also provides direct access to Google so you can search for it!

       @airgoa @freemo i suspect that accessing arbitrary content that you are seeking out on your own is within their policy, otherwise all third-party browsers would be gone from google play by now.i think the core issue is actually the direct linking to instances where hate speech occurs, and it occurs often enough that the reviewers at google can easily find it through the app by adding a few random instances from the instance lists these apps typically include.

       @thor @freemo I don't find that very plausible here. I've tried out some of those apps and didn't notice an instance list for starters, but what are they even linking to? Most servers, particularly Mastodon, seem to lean in the direction of not allowing a lot of controversial content, broader even than "hate speech," rather than towards free speech.

       @airgoa @freemo one of the google play warning screenshots i saw had a specific instance mentioned as being problematic, and it didn't seem to be a particularly prominent instance either, so you do wonder how google came across it.it's possible that federation is what got the apps into trouble.

       @freemo Would be interesting to see, if mastodon would integrate Google Analytics if they would keep it on^^My opinion on this is, they just cannot make any money out of it or their centralized partners.About that hate speech argument. I am just waiting and standing by until Germany will prohibit decentralized services, because of that. We already have a new law enforcing platform owners or providers to take down posts using "hate speech"

       @freemo They should take down twitter and facebook clients too then, certainly the former is so much of speech it is hard to avoid.  By comparison the fediverse is civilised. We are rivals to their data gathering empire,  so we are an easy target / scapegoat.

       @freemo in addition the shit surrounding Husky's dev recently, I think all of those apps have made a point not to block Gab when other fediverse apps started doing this. I guess that may be the initial reason why they got reported or flagged to begin with?Now, while I do think blocking Gab and the such is a good thing, not blocking them should not be a sufficient reason to ban those apps… maybe there's another reason? I do not use these apps, maybe they come with a list of suggested instances or something, and have shitty instances in there?

       @madargon @freemo @khird probably not google's intent. their policies are probably designed to handle the case of browsers, but i am assuming that, unlike browsers, many of these fedi apps provide a list of instances, and as numerous lawsuits have set a precedence for, you're responsible for what you link to. in the case of an in-app list, this can give the appearance that the app maintainer is endorsing all the instances listed.

       @thor @madargon @freemo @khird Most likely by going directly to servers that are majority populated by groups, races, or nationalities of people they don't like. Guilt by association is a big thing at Google. Look at how they censor YouTube. All they believe they need to do to justify unpersoning app creators is attempt to access gab on their apps and if it's possible then they're automatically a #Nazi™ and don't deserve due process or free speech.

By the way, it's not even effective, it's either a FLOSS client and you can remove the block or a proprietary client and you trust it, and it's an open door for shitload of abuses (No way to make sure it won't block other instances on whatever arbitrary criteria they choose, for political reasons, money, or something else… ).@khird

       @kline @freemo   Or, Google has sown and now they will reap.  The Fediverse and its future incarnations, are the future of social networking which has become a huge part of the internet and how people get their news.  With this kind of pressure solutions will be produced.  War time always brings with it great innovations.

       @freemo what's worrisome is that for most people Google Play is the only way they understand to install apps at all.There's no point in making 卐oogle Play 'behave', and it's fine. Their market, their rules. Just make it obsolete.F-Droid is the way to go.You don't want a central party to keep a track on all the apps you install anyway.

       @Minpwr Not sure how it is "old news" just because they banned some unrelated app back in the day for a different social media network. There is some similarity, sure, but there are some significant differences here. The  Gab app was an app for a specific centralized server and directly associated with Gab itself which had moderation control over its content and explicitly and intentionally permitted hate speech.In this case we are talking about an app not associated with any server but rather simply a client for a specific protocol capable of talking to any server, and has no association to the servers it can connect with nor do the people who wrote it have any moderation control over the content.

       @freemo @kline Literally all of that "offensive" content--fedi instances--can be viewed by #Chrome anyways. Unless you're going to ban the #Fediverse from the browser, there isn't any consistent logic here.

       @freemo My take is that if you're supporting google, you're supporting hate. Maybe they should shut themselves down.

       @realcaseyrollins Yea its absurd logic.. the only difference between chrome and a mastodon instance is that chrome gives you access to hate speech servers through http protocol and mastodon client gives you access to hate speech servers through the ActivityPub protocol@kline

       @georgia Anything is possible. But because they got these warnings all on the same day tells me that what probably happened is someone at google got the idea that mastodon was one monolithic social media platform, and when they reviewed the post contents on some random server (not understanding the view from each server to be unique) they saw hate speech.At that point in some unintelligent google employee's mind "mastodon == hate speech", at that point the employee searched for all mastodon apps and took them down on the grounds of hate speech.Just a guess but to me this seems most plausible.

       @freemo Google is an advertising agency.  If you're not blocking them entirely with your ad-blocking software, why do you have such software installed?  Stop using Google.  Stop paying them to hold you hostage.

       @freemo Thanks, have done part of that, so copied the text then linked to your full post, which has the links to the screenshots,  also added my comment at the bottom (made it clear it is my comment) to say the fediverse works in a different way.The problem is ,lst year Mastodon hit the main news, as lots of people in India moved to the fediverse,   If this story hits the media it will be twisted, journalists will go out and search for this hate content, and say it is easy to find.  To day is that big march in Washington DC. so this could be a convienient time for Google to 'look' like they are doing something.Interestingly Protonmail are on both Gab and mastodon,  which does show that the two are separate networks otherwise there would be less need or they would have to be on ALL the different instance types I guess. Lets see what happens,  we need to remind the world that 18 months ago facebook allowed live streaming of a mass murder terror attack in New Zealand,  and also it is still accused of not dealing with child abuse properly.  More ammo Britain first is still trending in the UK, (has been all day) they are a racist hate group.I wonder if the twitter app will be removed !!!?

       @zleap I have very little faith in the media to present things objectively and accurately. so you could be right. On the other hand they may focus on the anti-trust stuff facebook has been targeted for lately and see mastodon as the downtrodden hero alternative.. who knows.We will have to wait and see.

       @ArdanianRight Perhaps, though I'm not sure that is really the thinking here. Do they control facebook or twitter? I cant think of any way they do, neither platform uses google for analytics or advertisements as far as I know.

       @freemo  Yeah a senator spoke at the rally earlier and even said that the media will most probably just twist his words.   Or was he speaking in the capital building,  not sure, it trended earlier as a powerful speech.  Made a lot of good points,  turning very nasty over in the US by the looks of it too.

       @master @freemo twitter is an interesting example. on the other hand, twitter has, afaik, never officially permitted hate speech. it probably also helps that they're big, and their ToS likely contains a section on hate speech, whereas with fedi, it depends entirely on the instance.

       @jojo As much as I would oppose google or anyone imposing a ban on free speech instances like FSE it seems there is a good chance google demands FSE and servers like it receive a app-level block for any fediverse clients that want into Google Play.This may put a huge huge hurt on FSE and its usebase if none of the clients can be used to login to accounts there in the future.I hope that isnt how it plays out but it seems to be what google is pushing for.@p @sjw

       @koyu Its really hard to say how far they will take this.. It seems like their demands will either be impossible to meet or will be so pervasive it will be crippling to any sane outcome. No matter how you slice it the only sane and workable outcome is for google to change its mind and backpedal, which is not at all characteristic for google.

       @freemo well if people want they can still grab the source code and compile their own app...no one will do this probably which means that we really have to find a new smartphone platform. wish firefox os was still around so we can just use pwas and don't give a damn about policies etc. if it's on the web it's on your phone.

       @zleap i assume this would only filter out spam in notifications. I suspect it would do nothing to effect it in the facebook app itself?

       @louiscouture yeah, but it's entirely different if your whole phone is based around pwas since google can ban more than just mastodon... (and not many developers actually use pwas)

       @okabe_rintarou That was my thinking exactly... if a mastodon client can get banned for accessing a hate speech server through activity pub protocol then shouldn't web browsers be banned for being able to access the same server and content through http? Only real difference is the protocol.

       @grainloom I think the difference isnt so much publicity as it is how they view them.. CMPP they probably view as a private messaging system which is likely treated a lot different than what they see as social media.Not saying i agree with their logic there, but I just feel they look at hate speech as the responsibility of the app owner when its social media more so than when its private messaging.We have to remember they did this to Gab before they switched protocols too, so they do have a habit of doing this to smaller social media networks.Obviously they should be banning facebook and twitter too but I think just popularity alone keeps them safe from that.@Thib

       @louiscouture @freemo yeah and if google states such a thing it would've been against their terms of service as well. i don't know what's up, but google didn't change their tos except for a few tax changes in some american states. so something might have changed internally which is why they're after mastodon apps specifically. google chrome was born also when a few google engineers sat together in the cafeteria complaining about firefox.

       @freemo @louiscouture weird. usually they're doing changes with taxes etc. and they would've notified me via e-mail if there was a bigger change like that since i'm also developing apps for android. maybe i just remove all my android apps and tell google to fuck off. hosting my own f-droid repos are shit as well so i guess i'll be back on feature phones soon. such things just make me agressive.

       No one supports free speech. Free speech is always selective. Communists enjoy free speech while nazis do not.Free speech is an unrealistic, autistic, unattainable fantasy. Power structures are unavoidable and will capitulate to the inevitable demands by the powerful to silence those without power. This is immutable human nature and cannot be altered. Free speech has never existed and will never exist, except for those brief twinklings where it is inaugerated from above by the powerful, until they die and power accedes to the next generation.@AtlasFreeman @freemo

       @CreamSeparatist Well depends on how you define or apply free speech.. some people use it to mean you can say anything at anytime with no consequences.. strictly the definition of it is that you are free to voice any opinions specifically, but not neccesarly the right to say anything you want (which could exclude a lot of hate speech and still meet the definition). It also means very different things if we talk about it as a legal principle as opposed to a personal ethical principle.@AtlasFreeman

       @freemoLooking forward to Google banning Gmail app because it allows you to subscribe to an alt-right mailing list. This is probably the closest analogy you can build to explain what's wrong with Google's action in the traditional Internet terms, because SMTP has been federated like forever.

       @CreamSeparatist I said nothing about what I believe in. I am only saying that is one such interpretation.I think its pretty obvious hateful speech exists. Whether it is protected by free speech or not depends entierly on the definition of free speech employed is all.

       Hurt feelings do not trump free speech.Or rather, they do trump it, because free speech is a myth and democracy should be annihilated as a horrendous scam. No one who thinks hurt feelings can be a valid argument against speech should be considered even 1/10th my civic value, let alone my equal. Democracy and the lie of liberty must be abolished and replaced.@freemo @AtlasFreeman

       @CreamSeparatist I tend to agree, but again depends on what is defined as free speech. If the line is drawn at hurt feelings, for example, then you may find it acceptable to suppress speech which causes physical or financial harm, such as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, or libel/slander.@AtlasFreeman

       Free speech can have no limitations. There is no gray area. There either is free speech for everyone or there is free speech for no one. No line can be drawn at hurt feelings or shouting fire in a crowded theatre; an argument which was, in fact, being used in a judgment passed down against political activists distributing fliers urging those who were drafted to resist their involuntary enslavement.Just more proof of the lie of liberty and the bankrupt nature of these cynical appeals to inexistent freedoms.@freemo @AtlasFreemanimage.png

       @CreamSeparatist so if im under oath in a court case I can lie and say I saw you murder the guy and I am completely protected because of free speech even if it can be shown I intentionally lied?Sorry but in the case where free speech has no line of any kind in even the most extreme examples we have a situation where the harm quickly outweighs the benefit of free speech. @AtlasFreeman

       It clearly can't. Free speech either authorizes the violations of liberty which have been endemic from its outset, or it has been powerless to protect those who were victimized for their legitimate political speech.The internal contradictions of your nonsensical liberal beliefs in inexistent freedoms is a problem for you to wrestle with, not me. I am for the abolishment of all liberal institutions such as free speech and democracy, so I don't have to wrestle with it.You can't give Julian Assange the last 10 years of his life back with handwringing about "where we should draw the line" of free speech.Fuck liberalism, libertarianism, and so on.

       @freemo : "google is apparently taking down all/most fediverse apps from google play on the grounds that that some servers in the fediverse engage in hate speech."About time to #degoogle if you haven't already done so.

       @freemo I tend to not like broad conspiracy claims, so I say this with a some hesitation, but I believe its true. The censorship of "alt-tech"" is just getting started. Most of us saw it happening, but because it was only directed at people with extreme political views, we ignored it. Now its moving toward the center. I believe before its over, we will see Silicon Valley, with the help of hard Left Government push for the end of, or the complete marginalization of ALL platforms they cant control

       @SecondJon @freemo I use #Husky and when I installed #fdroid it recognised that I had the app installed. Hopefully it will update the app when the developer releases updates for it.

       @Korsier @SecondJon @freemo AFAICT, #fdroid guys compile their own version directly from upstream source. Therefore, there is a chance that a possible update will fail because of different signatures.Your best bet would be to remove Husky from #googleplay  and install it from fdroid instead. You'll surely lose all your #husky settings in the process, so be sure to save them / note them down.

       @CreamSeparatist @freemo @AtlasFreeman"Free speech" doesn't have to apply to every channel, only some channels. A court case as well as other government avenues like a citizenship application can be a restricted channel. Likewise calling 911 or, by yelling fire in a crowded theater, effectively broadcasting on an emergency channel.It doesn't even have to apply on google or facebook or whatever, because when it doesn't people can just make a competing google and facebook or whatever. The problem is that when antifa notices all their thoughtslaves abandoning their platform for the competing google/facebook, they kamikaze it with forced victimhood and lawfare until they shut it down.Censoring their own channels isn't the problem. Invading other channels to censor them is the problem. Luckily, it appears to be a self-correcting problem. Qoto, for example, pretends to stand for free speech then casually throws out the "OBVIOUSLY, no sexism or racism is ever acceptable." Idk how it possibly happened that such a cucked stance considers itself a paragon of free speech but I think it's a wonderful development.From each according to their ability!To each according to their need!Accelerate!freeze-peach.pngcancel.webp

       @search_social @AtlasFreeman @freemo I'm a national socialist I don't care about free speech. It has never been extended to me. If I don't have the right to speak freely on twitter in the public square then I couldn't care less about your autistic hand wringing about "what-is-and-where-are the limits of this imaginary thing called free speech?" Not at all. People like you who are racially demented should be deported at best or simply killed if no other option can be found. Just for your demented and mentally ill speech alone.

       @search_social @alcade @CreamSeparatist @freemo Can we not have a fairly simple distinction between speech that is an idea, and speech that is an action?Lying is an action. "North korea is best korea" is an idea. "fire!" in a crowded theater is an action of intent to harm. It's not the idea coming out your mouth, it's a noise made with intent to harmThat "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" is an idea.Can it not be that simple?

       @AtlasFreeman @alcade @CreamSeparatist @freemo>speech that is an actionThe dichotomy that free Speech is based on is that Speech IS NOT Action.Actions have consequences. Bad Actions have bad consequences.Sad. Bad. Bad. Sad.How fix?We have to theorize about Actions without doing them.This theorizing, which in one person is called “Thought”,And between several persons is called “Speech”,DOES NOT have consequences,therefore we can use this playground to formulate the correct Actions.Good Actions have good consequences.Happy. Good. Good. Happy.There are a few no-brainers that one can do to keep free Speech sane.Keep certain channels e.g. legal accusations, emergency claims, spaces with children; restricted i.e. not free Speech.Guarantee all humans basic physical rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinessBut these are still, fundamentally, restrictions on Actions, not Speech.>Lying is an action.That’s an instant loser. Now instead of people being able to talk freely to reason through their Actions, anyone that talks will instantly be labeled a criminal for lying. Now no one can talk, so everyone must Act without talking and without thinking.Speech, which before was a tool for reasoning about Actions, now becomes nothing but a game for excusing violent repression of others and for desperately dodging violent repression in return. For example, the word “nazi”. In a world where the word is immune from prosecution, people can freely admit to being one or partially one, and have no incentivize to falsely accuse others of being one. In a world where the word is a blank check to violently repress someone, no one can admit to it, and everyone must accuse their enemies of being one. The word loses all meaning and becomes a literal synonym for “I want to impose the consequences of being labeled a “X” upon you.”Of course in reality what all such restrictions on “lying” or “hate” or other nonsense are is the assertion that Some People are More Equaler than other people. These Some People are More Smarter and More Moraler and More Qualifieder to Judge(TM) who is allowed to speak and who is not.Now I’m not saying this is wrong, not at all. Obviously some people are more fit to rule than others. Just one question - who?Quis-custodiet-ipsos-custodes.jpg

       Fire in a crowded theater was a meme made up in a SCOTUS decision meant to imprison people for saying that people who are drafted should not willingly accept their enslavement. They were imprisoned as "spies" for their legitimate political actions. The fact that so many imbeciles latched onto muh fire in a crowded theater is proof that free speech has never existed and will never exist. I'd have onerous regulations on fire safety in that crowded theater way before I'd even consider any curtailment of speech. Why is the theater so crowded? Why aren't there fire exits? We have fire alarms now so why is this a reason why we should sacrifice speech?Fuck you. Free speech is a meme and you have autism.@AtlasFreeman @search_social @alcade @freemo

       I'm right all of the time that I actually have a strong opinion about something. You just have yet to realize it. Especially about hating dogs. Think about how many times your life has been negatively impacted by neighbors with barking dogs. They're a massive source of domestic strife between neighbors for no good reason, and require endless food resources to keep millions of dogs around when they could be white kids growing up instead. Furbabies are a problem and if you think rationally about it you will have to agree.@Ricotta @alcade @AtlasFreeman @ChristiJunior @freemo @search_social

       @freemoImagine what would happen if EARN IT & LAED were to be passed in the US... An absolute raging dumpster fire.On a separate but related note, this change at Google seems to be lead by the same neoliberal sheeple who erroneously believe that the best way to be "woke" & contribute to society is to ban terms like blacklist/whitelist or "master"/"slave" devices from their technical training guides m.

       @doktorzhivago yea when the appstore alternatives first came out as a check on tyranny it sounded absurd... but now im glad they exist.Odd to call them "progressive" though, I assume you dont mean in the political sense?
