"CENSORSHIP IS A TOOL, BUT ONE THAT IS OFTEN USED INADVERTENTLY TO SILENCE MARGINALISED VOICES," SAYS CREATIVE FOUNDER & PHOTOGRAPHER, RANKIN.

EXHIBITION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH QUANTUS GALLERY JUNE 16TH-24TH FEATURING RANKIN PORTRAITS OF 13 OF THE UNFAIRLY CENSORED COMMUNITY.

RANKIN'S CENSORED PORTRAITS OF THE UNSEEN MADE INTERACTIVE WITH AR EXPERIENCE BY MEDIA.MONKS, USING 8TH WALL.

THE UNSEEN GIVES VOICE TO HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND SMALL BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN UNFAIRLY CENSORED AND SILENCED ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

LONDON, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --RANKIN CREATIVE has launched an online community project spotlighting unfair censorship by using its resources to re-platform those who've been unfairly silenced online. THE UNSEEN is open to anyone who has experienced Content removal, account removal, promotion/ad ban or shadow banning. The project intends to create a positive debate around this topic, to provoke change in attitudes and working practices.

"Censorship is a necessary tool to prevent fake news, protect children and more. But it is often used inadvertently to silence marginalised voices," said Creative Founder & Photographer, Rankin.

THE UNSEEN is specifically highlighting the breadth and severity of unfair censorship in a way that's not been seen before. The statistics of those who have joined the community highlight the core reasons marginalised people feel they are being censored:

FEMALE BODY & SEXISM/MISOGYNY

RELATED EXPERIENCES 29.6%

EXPERIENCES OF HOMO/QUEERPHOBIA 10%

POLITICALLY RELATED EXPERIENCES 7%

FATPHOBIA/PLUS SIZE DISCRIMINATION 5%

ABLEISM EXPERIENCES 4%

RACISM EXPERIENCES 4%

"IT'S A CONTINUOUS, FRUSTRATING GAME OF WHACK-A-MOLE WITH PLATFORMS, SO MUCH SO THAT I'VE ENDED UP BLENDING MY PHD IN THE MODERATION OF ONLINE ABUSE WITH MY EXPERIENCES OF CENSORSHIP," SAYS UNSEEN COMMUNITY MEMBER DR CAROLINA ARE.

The project has generated incredible interest, even at it's early stages, with hundreds of people from all over the world sharing their stories and joining the discussion. The stories shared on THE UNSEEN entry form and the posts that the entrant had censored will all be included on THE UNSEEN website launching on the 15th of June.

Story continues

"We've had an incredible response so far, and we're just getting started," said Rankin. "This is an important issue, and those affected deserve to have a voice in the policies that affect them on the platforms they love and build their businesses on."

To launch the project, RANKIN has partnered with Digital-first Quantus Gallery in Shoreditch, London to hold a public exhibition. The show will feature all the posts and several of the stories submitted by entrants, alongside portraits of 13 of the community photographed by Rankin and made Interactive by the experiential design team at Media.Monks.

"We wanted to put the viewer back in control, and subvert the relationship we have with the images we see online, so working with Media.Monks was ideal. I also think it's important to show how emerging technologies like 8th Wall can be used positively, to make things fairer," said Rankin

"We're thrilled to be launching this project to the public, we hope the simple act of creating a database and awareness of these stories will help make a difference. But we're far from done, we'll be working until the system is fairer." said the creatives driving the project OPALUKE (Opal Turner and Luke Lasenby.)

The website (theunseen.site) and exhibition will launch on the 15th of June at 7pm and be open to the public from the 16th - 24th June at Quantus Gallery 11-29 Fashion Street, London, E1 6PX.

PRESS ONLY - To attend the launch please email your name to rsvp@rankin.co.uk.

Analysis: how both sides used and abused the press during the Civil War shows the importance placed on newspaper coverage

Before and after the outbreak of Civil War in Ireland in June 1922, those opposed to the Anglo Irish Treaty found themselves in control of much of the south and south-west of Ireland. The proliferation of anti-Treatyite areas within the southern province of Munster gave rise to what is now often referred to as the Republic of Munster or Munster republic.

John Horgan tells us that both sides recognised that the newspapers were as important as any territory being fought over, and both sides evolved media management techniques that varied from the persuasive to the intimidatory

The end of the Munster republic was signalled by the anti-Treatyite evacuation of Cork City on August 10th, before which the offices of the citys leading dailies, the Cork Examiner and Cork Constitution, had been destroyed. One of the most invaluable accounts of these turbulent days comes from Frank Geary, then a journalist with the Irish Independent and later its editor, who kept a diary of the hectic final days of this republic.

From RT Brainstorm, how the Civil War split an Irish republican family in two

As anti-Treatyites headed west with the express intention of a commencing a guerrilla conflict, Geary grimly recalled "Elizabeth Fort, off Barrack Street, is in flames. The Bridewell in Cornmarket Street is blazing. Tuckey Street police barracks is a mass of fire. Empress Place Police Barracks way up on Tuckey Hill is belching forth mountains of smoke and, further up, what seems like very hell itself seems on fire. The latter is Victoria Barracks, which is completely in the grip of the flames.

"No words can adequately picture such weird and horrifying scenes. I have had experience now of four of them; I have seen them in Belfast, Dublin, Limerick and now Cork, and God knows, I dont want to see any more of them. One does not get accustomed to this kind of thing. It is the end. Cork has fallen."

The division surrounding the terms of the Treaty were expressed very early in Cork via suppressive action and press manipulation. Professor Alfred O'Rahilly from UCC had his pamphlet, 'The Case for the Treaty,' seized by armed censors in late December 1921 while the Treaty Debates were ongoing. Following the 64-57 vote in favour of the Treaty by members of Dil ireann on January 7th 1922, a proclamation highlighting the shortcomings of the Treaty terms were published in the Cork Examiner under duress; more specifically at the designation of Tom Barry, the prominent anti-Treaty IRA leader in Cork.

From RT Radio 1's Today With Claire Byrne, historian and author Diarmaid Ferriter on his book Between Two Hells: The Irish Civil War

Days after this incident, B.J. Long, the editor of Clonmel newspaper the Nationalist, was accosted by volunteers who served him with an order from the Acting Adjutant, 3rd Tipperary Brigade. Having refused to publish an article submitted to him previously, Long was warned that failure to comply in the future would result in suppression. Copies of the paper were confiscated from newsboys soon after. That night, the newspaper itself was raided with 'expert' damage being wrought on printing presses, linotype machines and gas engines.

The anti-Treatyites perceived ascendancy in the south was challenged by Commandant General Piaras Basla in his new role as Army Publicity Director, which made him Chief Press Censor for the Free State forces. Baslas censorship came in for intense criticism from anti-Treatyites with Poblacht na h-ireann claiming that everybody realises by now, we hope, that the Irish daily press, always bitterly anti-national, is now, under Free State censorship, simply war propaganda for the Anglo-Free State Alliance.

Basla was massively assisted in his endeavours by the widespread co-operation of the press in applying his directives. A system of prior scrutiny existed under his watch, whereby newspapers had to be submitted for approval to him and his team before being permitted to circulate.

From RT Archives, Piaras Basla remembers 1916

The censors also addressed wires being sent to the international press, newspapers entering the country from abroad and pictures and films relating to the situation in Ireland. They also issued official bulletins from general headquarters of the National Army to the press and liaising with the Government Publicity Department. Under this system, newspapers were required to obtain permits for their journalists to report from areas of conflict.

Destruction of rail tracks meant other papers could not get into Munster, meaning anti-Treaty rhetoric in the Constitution and Examiner went unchallenged. While opposition propaganda could not penetrate the Republic, attempts to disseminate information had mixed results. In Ernie O'Malleys Civil War correspondence, there were suggestions that the Examiner should be sold around the country as a means of counter-acting the decidedly pro-Treaty stance of national dailies like the Irish Times, Irish Independent and Freeman's Journal.

Press control during and after the reign of the Munster republic exemplifies the importance the belligerents placed on the press at this time, along with the potential for suppression that this turbulent time facilitated. While intimidation of the press was not a Munster phenomenon during the war, the energy with which it was carried out appears to correlate to a certain extent to the manner in which the war was fought in the province more broadly.

While both sides of the conflict pursued censorship and suppression with a previously unseen commitment, it would take a seemingly interminable number of months for the conflict as a whole to burn out while the contrasting smell of newspaper ink and petrol persisted.

The Irish Civil War National Conference takes place at UCC from June 15 to 18. Proceedings will be open to the public and will be streamed by RT History

Fit to print: press censorship & propaganda during the Civil War - RTE.ie

The Lady of Heaven is a new historical epic, portraying the life of Fatima, a child of the Prophet Muhammad. Yasser Al-Habib, the Shia Muslim cleric who wrote the screenplay, claims the film conveys a message of love and peace.

Not all agree, it seems. Since the films release on Friday, groups of Muslim protesters across England have been protesting outside cinemas, claiming The Lady of Heaven hurts the feelings and the sentiments of a billion people around the world. Now, citing the protests, Cineworld has pulled the film from all of its cinemas nationwide, while Vue has pulled it from some of its branches. This is a shocking, illiberal and profoundly worrying development.

The protesters claim to be outraged, above all, by the fact that the film depicts Muhammad on screen (using computer-generated imagery rather than a single actor). This, they say, is forbidden by Islamic law.

Fundamentalist Muslims are calling the film blasphemous and demanding its censorship. An online petition, organised by the group 5Pillars and signed by over 100,000 people, says the film directly disrespects Prophet Muhammad [which is] deeply shocking and disrespectful to the best of creation. The petition adds that it is also a deeply racist film.

In a nominally free, democratic and tolerant society like ours, being offended by a film should never be a justification for its censorship or cancellation. But as weve seen all too often recently, freedom and tolerance are all too often trumped by a supposed right not to be offended. Our institutions are quick to cave in to intolerant mobs whenever they claim that their feelings have been hurt by this or that film or artwork. Those who have been protesting against The Lady of Heaven, in places like Bradford, Sheffield and Bolton, know this. In one video posted online, a protester at a Cineworld in Bradford can be seen declaring, We have a right not to be insulted.

Tragically, these tactics work. The manager of a Sheffield branch of Cineworld not only unilaterally cancelled The Lady of Heaven he also apologised to a crowd of protesters, telling them that it wasnt our decision to show this film, it came from above. We totally agree with what youre saying and were not prepared at this cinema to show this film. This was met with shouts of Allahu Akbar.

The illiberalism of the protesters is shocking and ought to worry anyone concerned about freedom of speech today. Yet just as worrying is the deafening silence from our cultural and political elites. Cinemas are cancelling a film because a section of society claims it is offensive, and politicians, for the most part, are saying nothing.

Given that even in Europe challenging Islamist intolerance can sometimes lead to people being intimidated, attacked and sometimes murdered, ordinary peoples fear of criticising religious fanaticism is perhaps understandable. But the cowardice of our cultural and political leaders in the face of this Islamist intolerance is not. Their unwillingness to stand up for freedom of expression and tolerance is shameful and it is empowering the fanatics.

Part of the problem here is that our political and cultural elites are so beholden to the politics of identity and victimhood that they actually think the Muslim protesters have a point. They seem to think that being offended really is sufficient grounds for the cancellation of a film. After all, as they see it, why shouldnt Muslims be protected from offence? Why shouldnt they be spared the trauma of criticism?

This elite self-flagellation and cowardice is empowering intolerant mobs. It empowered the Islamists who protested outside Batley Grammar School last year, after a teacher showed a cartoon of Muhammad as part of a lesson on free speech and blasphemy. And it is empowering those now protesting outside cinemas because The Lady of Heaven features a CGI Muhammad.

This is a deeply troubling moment for freedom of speech and tolerance in Britain. If our cultural and political leaders cannot be bothered to stand up for these fundamental values, then it is all too likely they will wither away. We cant let this happen.

Social media sensation Libs of TikTok was locked out of its Twitter account on Wednesday for a tweet about kids at drag shows that was deemed to be "abuse and harassment."

Only after losing an appeal and deleting the offending tweet was Libs of TikTok allowed to tweet again. "Twitter thinks its abuse to document drag shows. I think its abuse for drag shows to be taking place in front of kids," Libs of TikTok wrote in an update on their Substack about the ordeal, which included the news that the tweet was banned in Germany.

On Wednesday night Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon reported, "BREAKING: Twitter just locked out @libsoftiktok for posting a thread about several recent drag shows for kids. The thread allegedly violates Twitter's rules against abuse and harassment. You know what's actually abusive? Drag shows for kids."

According to screenshots, the specific tweet flagged by Twitter read, "~MEGA DRAG THREAD~ They say its innocent. They say its just about inclusion and acceptance. They say no one is trying to confuse, corrupt, or sexualize kids. They lie." It was originally posted on May 30.

"You can promote drag shows for kids on Twitter. That's fine. You can even share videos of yourself performing in them. The only thing you can't do is criticize them," Dillon tweeted. "Somehow the feelings of a few drag queens matter more to Twitter than the corruption of a generation of children."

In an update on Thursday morning, Dillon also announced that Twitter denied Libs of TikToks appeal to overturn the violation.

"Twitter has denied Libs of TikTok's appeal," Dillon tweeted with an image reading that Twitter determined "a violation did take place" of their "rules against abusive behavior" with the tweet.

Libs of TikTok tweeted later on Thursday afternoon, confirming that the account was reopened. The offending tweet has been replaced with the message "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules. Learn more."

"Im back! Apparently posting videos and flyers of drag events is abusive but the actual events are just innocent family friendly entertainment," the accounted tweeted.

Dillon previously reported shortly after Libs of TikToks original tweet in May that the account was banned from participating in Twitter ads, though the notification did not specify the reason.

"Libs of TikTok has been banned from running ads on Twitter. A notification of ineligibility was sent out that failed to offer a specific reason," Dillon tweeted at the time.

In May, Libs of TikTok was also suspended from Instagram over the claim that the account violated the platforms Community Guidelines but it was not specified how. Instagram later restored the account over twelve hours later claiming that Libs of TikTok was "disabled by mistake."

The Libs of TikTok account usually shares videos of left-wing individuals openly expressing their social and political views on social media. It has been suspended from Twitter twice so far, once only hours it had been reinstated.

The recent moves by Twitter follow years of conservative users complaining that social media is attempting to censor their views. Dillons own company Babylon Bee was locked out its Twitter account back in March.
