Stories of Big Tech censorship are everywhere these days. For a country based on free speech and the ideal that everyone is entitled to their opinion, it seems some opinions and life experiences aren’t wanted. That’s what Pastor Jim Domen says he’s been up against. His organization Church United was kicked off the Vimeo video platform for posting videos about Pastor Jim’s life story and others like him who decided to leave a same-sex lifestyle to pursue their Christian faith.  Pastor Jim is suing Vimeo for discrimination. Domen vs. Vimeo was just shut down by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, but the team is hoping to take this Section 230 challenge to the Supreme Court.  Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act allows social media platforms to remove content they find objectionable and not be held liable.   We’re joined by Pastor Jim and his lead attorney Robert Tyler, president of Advocates for Faith & Freedom.  Watch the full episode on Epoch TV.

The whole “make your face look like a Pixar/Dreamworks animated character” has been quite popular lately. Who hasn’t had at least one sibling or college friend send them images of themselves looking like they stepped out of Inside Out? We’ve seen it on TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Well, now you can take that idea and actually animate it on your desktop, and not just on your mobile device. You can mildly freak out all of your colleagues by animating yourself in a Zoom call with the Snap Camera app.Via Polygon, we’ve learned how you can now do this using Snapchat’s desktop app. The filter turns users into a standard animated version of themselves, with varying degrees of accuracy.
