Thread 7758593

Will this finally be the end of posting art “anonymously”? Privacy on the internet is slowly dying.

>>7758593 (OP)
Oh no, we are defeated... there is simply no possible, specifically obvious, way to get around this. Darn it all. I'm throwing out my pens and paper immediately.

99% of artists already display which country they are from

I can't pretend to be Chinese anymore? Gonna be really awkward for an art account of ~25k followers with a 5-hanzi name to have a Brazilian flag alongside it.

>>7758593 (OP)
I cant believe THIS is the ONE thing that is going to push me to learn how to set up a VPN. I cant allow people to know where Im from.

I hope you were posting with a VPN since the creation of your account

>they're going to show the country of accounts
You know exactly why that is being done and it has nothing to do with art.

It's because of politics and shills.

>>7758606
>99% of artists already display which country
Doubt that, cause a good chunk of people are lying about which country they are from, especially those that lie to fit a narrative/agenda. Hell, even anons said they lied about being asian or Japanese just so they can get followers.

Most aren’t going to/don’t know on how to set a vpn and they might block it anyway.

If he was from a country where fictional characters with flat chests are banned I could see why he'd want to hide it since it'd give people an easy target if they ever decided to fuck with him

>opt out/hiding will be possible
Oh no. Anyway

obviously made to help dox right wingers in first world countries where criticizing israel is illegal

It's always the politic obsessed retards ruining it for everyone. Musk needs to fuck off.

this
the twenties will probably be the last decade of the internet being somewhat anonymous

if elon was politically obsessed he wouldn't have a leftist communist jew dictating policy meant to dox right wingers, you're just mad about this specifically because you're indian.

When will this start? Ive been looking for an excuse to nuke my account and this seems to be it.
Will making a new account under a VPN work?

>>7758816
Since when is Nikita a leftist?

He's always been a libertarian techbro

>>7758808
Don't be silly, this isn't a political move. Twitter is a money sink that's dwindling in relevance and he wants to use it to sell personal data under the guise of tracking bots. Hence why it's so painfully easy to circumvent. No one cares if you use a VPN, they just want to bank off of normies who don't know any better or just don't give a shit.

>>7758593 (OP)
You guys are retarded.
All big sites really hate vpn.
Seriously try to make a new account on twitter, facebook, etc. with well-known vpn like mullvad, express, etc.

>>7758846
Even when it's a dedicated IP vpn?

If my country flag was posted alongside my art I'd stop posting my art online altogether

>>7758593 (OP)
I've been larping as Japanese. I may unironically need to kms.

>>7758593 (OP)

>>7758741

there's that, but there's also that malaysian that was making huge money with bbc 3d animations and had to delete everything when people figured it out after he gave himself away when he posted his brown skin in some assmad anti-white tirade cause he'd get beheaded or something

>>7759046
already existing accounts are fucked, but won't this create a black market where people create and sell accounts from specific countries?

SEAnigger here. Porn is illegal. Government is corrupt. There are a lot of local gangsters. I don't want to attract attention of the authorities and mafia that will extort me or worse for drawing boobs.

FUCK NIKITA BIER.

Good, eat shit, you were undercutting my commission rates

>>7759060
>>7758846
I doubt it's gonna be just the creation ip, it's be stupidly easy to circumvent. In Europe I could literally just get in a car and make 5 different origin country accounts, you could get anyone on discord or wherever you hang out to make a different country account, you could just make an account while on vacation, etc etc.
It basically only filters Americans and third world slum dwellers, and even then if they have no friends online, abroad etc

>>7758687
>Sets vpn to japan

>>7759060
Since the concern are for politically-motivated tweets, twitter is on the surface trying to fight goverment-level entities. These people obviously will have ways to circumvent this.

For normal people, in my experience, making an account with vpn attracts a lot of scrutiny from the system. More easily banned, more phone number etc. verification, more shadowbans. I don't recommend it. You may lose your username or worse.

>>7759070
>twitter is on the surface trying to fight goverment-level entities
Uh no, no they're trying to fight the engagement baiting white supremacist jeets with marble statue avatars

>>7758593 (OP)
Its really funny that the only people against this have been larpers trying to pretend to be someone they're not

Years ago anon would call you a faggot for trying to defend these normalnigger platforms, now you're worried these cucked faggots are cucking out twice as much?

It will only get worse, all because everyone never says anything against.

>>7758593 (OP)
I can already closely tell someones nationality from their art style desu

If its good looking anime it's probably Japan, if it's OTT tacky looking anime it's China, if it's got pride flags and fat black people everywhere it's American, if it's South America It's Goku on the side of a crumbling Tacquiera, and if it's the worst anatomy you've ever seen with child sacrifice depicted it's Jewish

>>7758593 (OP)
There will be a bunch of honor killing of sluts.

>>7758593 (OP)
This just sounds like a way to make propaganda more palatable to retards who don't know how technology works.

>>7759103
How? Isn't this to fight pajeets pretending as non-pajeets while posting political BS?

>>7759096
Give an example of "over the top tacky looking" anime from China

>>7758593 (OP)
Personally I think these changes are fine, but in the current political climate and context, it is quite worrying.

>>7758593 (OP)
On one hand, good for some of those shitheads pretending to be people they aren't (aka faggots larping as Japanese), but on other hand fuck off I don't want people to know where I'm from. So I vote for absolutely NO because fuck it it's not worth to exposing larpers just for you to not able to have your own privacy

>>7759166
It’s not for you to vote or decide.

>>7759166
pretty much this fr fr, i plan on creating nsfw stuff soon and i don't wanna people knowing i'm latinx

Why is Elon trying to turn twitter into pol?

>>7759367
pajeets got access to the internet

I just don't want people to know I'm a SEAmonkey

>>7759096
baited no one award

So now normies are going to be enlightend to the harsh reality that most of the good art online is made by non white people? Fuck yes.

>>7759367
twitter has always been pol since Arab spring days or homo marriage rights in 2012.After the jeetoid flood in 2016 twitter is unusable, jeet variety engagement farmers will be hit hard with this move.

>>7759407
I think everyone already knew the best art was made by east asians

>>7759419
post the image

>Musk needs to get the fuck off /pol/.
To those saying use VPN, I don't think its a connection thing. It'll probably be the Country you set for the account in settings. Worst case, its the country you set the account up in - if they store that information, which Im sure they do.

>>7759093
You'd think speaking up would make a difference, wouldn't you?
If ever there was a time to believe in conspiracies, this is it.

If you know what tpot is then you understand that basically all of twitter's changes are based on this small assortment of poasters, they literally never think about the art side of twitter. You guys are crying like they're intentionally targeting you but in reality this is pretty much solely because of Indian scam spam.

>>7759493
this is the face of the bong (((right))) and avatar of the fight against illegal (and only illegal) immigrants

If it's allowing him to live off of his art, maybe we all should be a little retarded

Seriously though, what get clicks is this kind of bullshit. Making some comic about how hard drawing/being an artist is or how you don't use AI

>>7758593 (OP)
Just implement the ID requirement you trucking faggot
Force people to leave twitter

>>7759067
>it can detect that you're using a VPN

I don't see how this would change anything, most are already saying where they're from or mentioned it in replies.
If there are third worlders that are terrified of this and stop drawing because of it then maybe commission prices will finally normalize.

>>7762577
>If there are third worlders that are terrified of this
it's mostly thirdies, cause they are the bulk of the bot twitter blue grifting account spam.

I just want to draw sick gods and demons but I've seen artists get taken away for "promoting witchcraft".
(Meanwhile actual sorcerer charlatans run late-night channels on TV)
Fuck this shit man, I'm deleting my account it's not worth the risk.

Twitter has always given me dogshit engagement and this is the final straw. At least on Pixiv I get people replying and commenting.

i dont want my stupid ass azn country to show up on my account
fuck this

Indonesian here, people have been reported for posting nude anatomy sketches. Not even porn. Fuck this gay earth.

>>7762577
>>7762580
Basically this.
I don't care about using ID to access social media platforms since i don't give a shit about 3rd world minors and pajeets spamming porn slop on there.

>>7765298
>but I've seen artists get taken away for "promoting witchcraft"
I need you to leave the 18th century, brother

Is it necessary to have twitter?

>>7767492
It's not.
Only people wanting everyone to have twitter are fame starved kiddies since if there are no real people on there, all their botted numbers mean less than shit.

>>7758593 (OP)
If they allow me to blacklist countries and VPNs I'll finally fucking join social media.

>>7767492
no

>>7767484
how does that happen before this system is implemented?

Maybe if you never posted stupid shit
We wouldn't be having our anonymity taken away

>>7758762
they always start it that way. Were you born yesterday?

>>7769481
get real, these corps only care about spying for money

i thought people said having flags would improve this site across the board

>>7759460
/pol/ getting psyopped into turning a blind eye towards conspiracies if they go against the image of their god emperor will always be the funniest shit

unbelievably based, no more indonesian scammers or israeli trolls.

>>7758593 (OP)
>xitter getting flags
desu probably will be a net positive for the """news"""/political side of that shithole, but i'm sure the monkey paw will furl in some fashion. always does.
otherwise, i fail to see how this is art related, since i really don't think this will change things much
>privacy on the internet is slowly dying
depending on where you draw the line, it's been dead for years

>>7769862

it's art related because people want to hide their smut drawings behind alt-accounts, or change their usernames when they get into a tracing/AI/raysism controversy which twitter is very prone to.

that said, i'm surprised that the jannyfags haven't taken this post down. they're pretty ban-heavy on /v/ and /tg/

>>7769637
Obviously. /int/, /sp/, /pol/. Best boards of 4chan.

>>7758824
It's a cult for retards and third worlders

>>7758593 (OP)
I read that you can opt out of it though

>>7758593 (OP)
kek is this just because Elon was sick of all the SAVE EVROPA accounts run by pajeets?

This is because of pajeets LARPing as people from other countries (it's not just rightwingers, it's everything from anime zoomers to vegans) to try to engagement farm, as well as to make it more obvious when someone is impersonating an account or got phished and converted into a scam page.

I don't have a twitter page so as someone who just browses it on occasion this is funny to me.

>>7759061
Your county is why card companies in my country want to ban porn.

>>7769873
Jannies are not board-specific and I'd guess none are artists. There are some who actively browse other boards and squat in threads as participants, and end up deleting anything that displeases them. Anything on this shithole of a board has to be reported and then a jannie has to actually go and check it to do his job.
