banning all Anthropic employees

The dating app A4A Radar (Adam4Adam) IMO wrongfully suspends my account. Before that, they IMO wrongfully accused me of being spammer, censored all my messaging and then stopped censoring me again before IMO wrongfully suspending me altogether.

IMO The app is bullying me by groundlessly and abusively suspending my account, without me violating any conditions, which ruins my romantic and dating life and causes toxic loneliness which, according to research, has as bad health effect as smoking 18 cigarettes a day. I was communicating respectfully and didn’t send any sexual pictures. Before, the app IMO bullied and harrassed me by wrongful blocking and accusations: I don’t spam and just write introductory messages about my interests (nothing sexual, no sexual pictures) and suddenly a red banner appears at the top of the screen falsely accusing me “Error: you are marked a spammer” and messages stop working, I can’t even read incoming messages (censorship) or communicate with other people. The app is IMO hypocritical because it’s the app which is IMO spamming with adverts, not me.

I’ve Been Banned From Almost Every Dating App

It was probably “weaponized reporting” from a scorned date, and it's almost impossible to fix.

I was pissed off, but being as well-behaved as an outraged 13 yr old can be.

Told my parents that evening.

Next morning they told me to go ahead and check out A Tale of Two Cities from the school library.

(Yes, I've always read, a lot. Book fiend. Bookish. Whatever. That's not the point here.)

Don't be telling people what they can and cannot read.
Book banning is stupid.
Stupid people ban books because they're stupid people.

#Books #Banning #StupidPeople

When I was in Grade 7 (13yrs old), I tried to check out Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities from the school library.
A very stupid teacher (I still remember his name) informed me that it wasn't allowed. It was too much for me. (At the time I was reading Dickens' entire ouvre for my own fun)

Tried logic with him, it's available to me at the public library. No go.

I wasn't used to being told I was too stupid for any book.

Time-Wasting, Truth-Wasting Exercises | Los Angeles Review of Books

Samuel Cohen’s anthology on book banning diagnoses a recent swell in censorship that’s problematic for more reasons than you’d think.
