[The following blogpost is one of a series of subjects originally published mid 2021 under the website section:
On the flip side of maintaining & promoting transparency, Universal Asylum holds a strong anti-censorship stance.
Whilst there will always be conduct that should perhaps be discouraged, in most cases censorship is not the answer & in many ways has become a dangerous aspects of contemporary society. The recklessly dangerous censorship sold as "community standards" that prevent adults from having adult conversations about adult subjects - needs to stop. Such sencorship is outright dangerous & has the potential to cost lives, thus warrants further discussion & advocacy on a community level.
​
In addition to it's more direct dangers, censorship is also problematic in terms of inhibiting the development of a healthier & more fluently adaptive universal culture that embraces diversity in a an open-minded & compassionate manner in endeavouring to minimise the prevalence of binary divisions & problems associated with these.
​
Another significant aspect of Universal Asylums proposed automated information technology systems is components or features similar to that of social media platforms yet tied in with a broad range of other features capable of accumulating complex combinations of information for the purpose of efficiently & accurately informing social policy & the distribution of resources between services, etc. For this to work the general public needs to be able to speak freely & openly in language variations used across all demographics. At Universal Asylum we understand that many people say words like shit, fuck & cunt, & that's ok & whilst we also strongly encourage people not to be fucken shit cunts we are also realistic that people are likely to at times fall short of such ideals.
