After reading about this on hacker news, I get why they do it. Its to make people upload identification documents, to get them prepped to authenticate for using the internet. Now the world makes sense again. I was wondering why they would do something positive. But now I get it.
online was one of the first positive queer places i had since i didn’t have anything irl; stef sanjati was also the first out trans person who made me realise i could do this.
which i suspect is the entire reasoning for the ban.
Probably bigger than that - they want to make all of us feel watched. But yeah, its worse if you are in a group the US government is currently oppressing. The way things are going, I guess we all will be in some kind of a group like that sooner or later. Like “social media terrorist” for having negative opinions about the US online.
