Imagine sending 4k emails to a company of only a few hundred employees

Imagine 4k people sending 4k emails to 6 employees

They, understandably, don’t list their emails but I doubt they’re impossible to find

The “Movement Director” posted her email address on this public Instagram reel as melinda@tankerdreist.com

Is it doxxing to post contact information for a public company? If so mods I’m sorry please don’t ban me

What are they going to do next? Stop high class escorts from doing their job?

Why talk to them at all? They don’t give a shit, “Jesus” “told them” to do what they’re doing
dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Because talking is legal.
You shouldn’t bombard those people with emails or phone calls or order pizza without toppings/cheese. Don’t harass them and make their life miserable, don’t ruin something they enjoy. Don’t use OSINT to find more about them and certainly don’t ask “where is your god now?” when they break down crying. Don’t clog their systems with trashdata. Just don’t raid them.
Talk with them in a civilized manner. Look at human history and you will see that every conflict can be settled if you are just willing to use words and nothing else.

Just register their contact information to spam services, like any sane person would do.

Why do payment processors have to be concerned with age ratings at all?
Soapbox@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
They probably are worried about litigation, and shareholder profits. It’s always about shareholder profits.
shalafi@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nah, neither take works for 'em. Litigation? Being neutral bypasses all threats of bias. Profits? Porn is the only reason the internet took off as a profitable venture.
I’d bet some top dogs bowed to a little pressure for fear of bad publicity. That’s how these tiny religious groups threaten. That’s all the juice they got. And who’s going to stand up and say, “Nah. Fuck yourself. We want our porn.”
Well, I guess we all did stand up! (Do I still need to make calls, or is this thing done?)
cley_faye@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Because THEY decided that THEIR opinions are better than everyone else’s, so YOU have to listen to THEM, willingly or not.
Something something free speech and all that jazz.
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Because nobody will ban that legally, and people paying for adult stuff themselves naturally have made a decision.
So these people (the Russian word is pidor) are trying to sneak a block someplace else.

Collective Shout, the anti-p*rnography pressure group
Did they seriously censor their own article, on their own website
shalafi@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yeah, hate it, but that sort of censorship is to bypass filters. Am old, used to use pr0n.

Censrship gne t** f*cking far.
That article is shit to read. What’s the point in censoring words?
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Because it’s bad words, sniff.
Cypher@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Likely search engine ranking. The internet is getting worse every fucking day.
shalafi@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Surfing porn on Google vs. Bing is an eye opening experience.
Google: “Fuck it all up. We don’t want to be seen as a porn engine.”
Microsoft: “How do we beat Google in search?!”
“Make porn pics and images easy?”
Worked!
But then you get weird shit. One day searching “tiny titties” gets you no NSFW results, the next it’s flooded with 9yo Russian kids. “Flat chested”? Meh, one day it’s “flats”, the shoes, the next, 9yo Russian kids again. Fuck me. I like little titties, OK?! I just want to see them on women. Preferably “asian amateur lesbian cosplay tiny titty white lingerie face sitting lesdom wedding dress” kinda women. Is that too much to ask?! I was told this was the future. :(
hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Do search engines not want articles about porn or do they just don’t like the word? Because substituting one letter doesn’t do shit if you want to obscure what you’re talking about.
chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Steam doesn’t have to, you fuckwits. Collectively shouting your beliefs across the world and forcing others to bend to your religion isn’t worth a response. Go fuck yourselves.
