I saw it this past weekend... the worst boat name ever. I'm sure you've seen the clichés, like Sea-renity, or the scatological, like Passing Wind, but aside from being overdone, they're okay. This one, though:
Pounder Hard
The toxic machismo expressed in boat names bragging about one's sexual prowess is already awful, but this one's doesn't even make any sense! It's not a pun or play on words, so, just, why?

“The BBC has announced that it has ‘no plans’ to restore to its iPlayer platform the documentary on the struggle faced by Gaza’s children under Israel’s genocide that it deleted last week under pressure from the Israeli embassy and UK Israel lobby.” – Skwawkbox

Shameful of #BBC to pull a quality documentary because a child - a child - is involved whose parent works providing food in the government.
How many BBC documentaries involve NI Republican family members?
utterly disgusting. I've been watching this unfold via Novara Media, and it's utterly horrendous.
The same thing is happening here in Aus, too. Capitulation to the Israeli lobby

Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone (720p)
Following the lives of four young people trying to survive the Israel-Hamas war as they hope for a ceasefire - a vivid and unflinching view of life in a warzone.Israel does not allow foreign journalists to report independently in Gaza. To make this film, two producers based in London remotely directed two cameramen on the ground in Gaza over nine months, gaining access to key locations out of reach to foreign press.
The dramatic documentary sheds new light on life inside Gaza’s humanitarian ‘safe zone’ – showing everyday life with ongoing airstrikes and efforts to keep people alive in its only functioning permanent hospital, Al-Aqsa.

@fisherking apropos David Collier, a pro-Israel apologist and Islamophobe who self-describes as an investigative journalist...
projectnemesis.net/david-colli…
It's enough to see who is he associated with to understand his neither (both are pro-Israel clearly, CAMERA has notriously used similiar disinformation tactics as he does).
In 2017, he was named by the Algemeiner as one of the 'top 100 people positively influencing Jewish life'34.
In 2022, he received a 'Portrait of Courage' award from the media watchdog CAMERA34.
Wikipedia: Critics of CAMERA claim that it is an ‘extreme Israel advocacy group’, aligned with hawkish rightwing viewpoints; that it pays stipended fellows to write anti-Palestinian articles; and that it employs smear and intimidation tactics, routinely targeting media and journalists critical of Israel and pro-Palestinian activists on campuses.
About Algemeiner: In 2020, it published an op-ed by a fabricated author, which made unsubstantiated claims about Palestinian activists. Its strong pro-Israel stance has sometimes placed it outside mainstream Jewish opinion, particularly on issues related to Israeli settlements.
Comment on the steaming channel points out that:
"the [narrator] boy’s father served as Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Gaza. Dr. Ayman al-Yazouri has a PhD in environmental chemistry from Huddersfield University in England.
The man is not Hamas but someone who worked in a government functioning in a besieged territory. Agriculture is his specialty.
Second and more important, the documentary shows people who, as they run away from the invading israeli forces, curse Hamas and curse Sinwar.

I don't have links to the actual laws, but there are multiple sources documenting it. Here's a few I grabbed with a quick search. I'm sure you can get specifics if you take the time to search particular states listed here.

If we go with the stuff that is very well documented:
* the Ford Werke gave Hitler's birthday present 1939.
* the Ford Werke produced about one third of the critical important trucks for the Nazi Army.
* Ford get the highest award Nazi Germany gave to foreigners.
* Ford even was mentioned positively in Mein Kampf.
* Ford was raging antisemitic.

Unknown parent • • •@DrALJONES @su_liam that would be straight up moderation. Blocking, defederating, etc are not shadow-banning. User-side tools like word filters and silencing or blocking wouldn't fit either even on the loosest definition of a shadow-ban.
The second paragraph of the linked wikipedia page acknowledges the definition I was thinking about as an evolution of the term, and I think it's the one that applies more often on modern social networks. The "algorithm hell" is definitely the most commonly used definition I've seen.
Regardless of the definition you like the most, on the fediverse you can't just get hidden from the masses, without knowing it, for talking about sensitive topics. You can be moderated, but if you don't like your instance or it's defederated you can just migrate to a more visible one.
