Those rare persons who follow the WNBA are advised to watch what they say:

The league announced a new initiative titled “No Space for Hate”…

“As part of the comprehensive plan, the WNBA is rolling out an AI-powered technology solution to monitor social media activity, in partnership with players and teams, to help protect the community from online hate speech and harassment,” the announcement read.

“Hate speech and harassment” are comprised of communication favored groups choose to be offended by.

A revised WNBA fan code of conduct includes regulations for fans on social media, and threats of sanctioning those fans from official content if they are violated. The new policy lists racist, homophobic, sexist, sexual, threatening or libelous content as “subject to blocking or deletion.”

“Repeat violations of these guidelines may result in the violator no longer being able to follow our news, comment on our posts or send us messages,” the policy reads.

When similar people achieve control of the Internet, similar systems will be applied to all online speech.
