When Censorship Misses the Mark

More about When Censorship Misses the Mark

Zettel’s ongoing battle with Deep Dream Generator (DDG) revolves around the platform’s overzealous censorship policies. As a community that fiercely opposes adult content, Zettel agrees that protecting users from harmful material is essential. However, DDG’s enforcement has become inconsistent and problematic.

While DDG actively censors textual content, they paradoxically let explicit or inappropriate images pass through their filters, an omission that defeats the purpose of moderation. Zettel believes the focus should be on limiting harmful images—images that pose a greater risk—rather than imposing heavy censorship on text that may not even be problematic.

This flawed approach by DDG stifles creativity and meaningful expression, censors harmless discussions, and lets explicit images slip through the cracks. Zettel continues to fight for a fairer, more consistent approach, and urges DDG to focus on the real problem: images, not words.
