ggivesomefucks replylemmy.worldNo... The first amendment protects against censorship by the American government, ideally at least. Private companies can and do censor shit constantly, and that is definitely censorship. You've just seen people repeat it about the first amendment, didn't understand it, and are attempting and failing to regurgitate it And if people see you using it wrong, they'll start off from an even worse position. All you're doing is exacerbating the problem you think your fixing.29

So they won’t mind if we start calling it “NoPilot” then?
I also like FauxPilot.
faux - adj - artificial or imitation; fake.

They’re within their rights and it’s definitely not something they want to have take off, whether it’s accurate or not.
But apparently their brand management doesn’t know who Barbara Streisand is.
The homeowner?
No, that's MechaStriesand.
It’s "brand management"
Microsoft will have plenty more missteps as they continue to fall from relevance.
Censorship is not censorship -- says Microslop.
Lol microshit
Microslop.
"After carefully considering the matter, we have determined that we have done nothing wrong."

they are right. it's their discord and so they make the rules. it's not censorship.

It's still censorship. Self imposed censorship is still censorship.
Cry harder, Microslop
Maybe they'd prefer "Macroslop"?
That's just going to cause people to invent an even more insulting word.
Well, here they are right. Censorship is an action by a government, not by a company.
This does not change the fact that the Streisand effect for this stupid move is well deserved.
