| May 14, 2023 at 13:43 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | @ResistanceIsFutile Well, you know what they say. Be gay, do crimes, and don't talk about them on the internet. You're not going to get an official response from Stack Exchange on this matter; and of course, Stack Overflow Inc. will be nothing but cooperative, it's just do you realise how hard it is to remove things from a community-moderated site without permanent deletion, without invoking the Streissand effect? So of course it's going to take some time to respond to a request… | |
| May 14, 2023 at 13:40 | comment | added | Resistance Is Futile | @wizzwizz4 I sure hope so. Anyway, this is not much of a concern on technical sites, but there are some sites in SE network where covered topics and discussions may be of interest for government censorship. EU is already actively restricting access to some content (for instance Russian state related news sites and social media channels) and it is not unimaginable scenario that such practice can spread to other areas and topics. | |
| May 14, 2023 at 12:52 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | @ResistanceIsFutile That seems like a separate issue, and I don't think it's one we need to be terribly concerned about. Stack Overflow has a long and valued history of political activism 1 2 3, and I doubt they'd stand for that. | |
| May 7, 2023 at 6:15 | comment | added | Resistance Is Futile | @wizzwizz4 Besides few incidents that happened during 2019 kerfuffle, which were understandable under the circumstances, I never encountered situation where mods resorted to censorship and even less tyranny. I am not worried about them, I am more worried about opening the doors to government censorship and tyranny. I am not saying that they can do much about it if such situations happen, but there is a huge difference between applying the minimum needed to satisfy such requests and actively enforcing them. | |
| May 6, 2023 at 22:07 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | @ResistanceIsFutile We don't need a policy document for the de facto moderation policy to be "censorship and tyranny". If issues occur in practice, you've still got meta (and, failing that, you can contact a moderator: there's a policy document saying moderators are allowed to raise complaints). | |
| May 6, 2023 at 10:20 | comment | added | Resistance Is Futile | Some countries are hurling straight into censorship and tyranny. Misleading information is extremely broad and can be easily abused. While I am inclined to think that SE will not start broadly censoring content and answers, this is rather slippery slope. | |

| May 4, 2023 at 0:54 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | More of "what do we do when we see child porn, anything more than the most casual of trolling and the most blatant of spam" . Its a matter of focus, and what's my core goals as a moderator. I want a healthy community and my moderation is focused on that as opposed to dealing with content. | |
| May 4, 2023 at 0:49 | comment | added | starball Mod | @wizzwizz4 I've seen diamond mods delete plenty of non-answers on SO though. Doesn't that qualify as content moderation? And doesn't comment flag handling count as content moderation too? | |
| May 4, 2023 at 0:46 | comment | added | wizzwizz4 | @starball Content moderation is for you lot. Except in very early public beta, and things that the community has delegated to moderators, mods mostly stay well clear. See A Theory of Moderation. | |
| May 4, 2023 at 0:20 | comment | added | starball Mod | "In addition, we moderate communities, not content mostly" - wait what? I'd always thought it was either more content moderation (for elected site mods and not Community Moderators), or a mix of both. | |
