alias due_to_local_laws -> twitter_content_restriction

BUR #45022 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias due_to_local_laws -> twitter_content_restriction

Artists are taking the piss at the new content restriction by using it as a censor (but not always), adding this as an alias since this is what I figure most people would be initially searching for when tagging.

Perhaps these should both get meme qualifiers?

Yeah, the name seems a bit ambiguous on its own. I'd also recommend adding a wiki.

The bulk update request #45022 (forum #374404) has been approved by @evazion.

BUR #45047 is pending approval.

create alias twitter_content_restriction -> uk_online_safety_act

It's not just about twitter, the tag name should reflect that.

AFAIK Twitter enabled censorship for both UK and EU (maybe with exception for some old accounts?), even though only UK law forces them currently (EU law is in development), while most other sites only censored or banned UK.

Example tweet saying they see this text in northern EU: https://x.com/madyaxx/status/1948904105793257611
Another one mentioning EU: https://x.com/AyasAnalytics/status/1949572265223577712

And some artists also complain about losing EU users: post #9705849

So maybe tag name shouldn't be UK-specific?

They're also reviving KOSA to try and bring something similar to the US. 🙄 If it's being enforced in the EU seems like the one remaining programmer at twitter is simply trying their best and was overly broad.

Every meme art tweet has at least one Euro complaining about being lumped in with the Brits. Not that it matters, since the EU has age verification blueprints being drafted as part of the Digital Services Act. Twitter is just ahead of the curve.

Then maybe some generic tag for this kind of government-mandated censorship? Because post #9696792 is not about twitter.

How about reversing the first alias in this topic?
due_to_local_laws sounds fine for generic tag, apart from being literal starting words in the text that Twitter currently used.
If more memes will appear about censorship on different platforms and in different countries, in a sense they all would be about "censorship due to local laws", right?

BTW I managed to see twitter censorship by using EU IP, and "learn more" links to https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/age-assurance , which starts with:

We are required by regulations including the UK's Online Safety Act, the Irish Online Safety Code and the European Union Digital Services Act, to verify your age for access to certain types of content.

BUR #45243 is pending approval.

Proposing a reversal then
