Here is my post on #CARA a new artists app. https://cara.app/post/8cf9055f-12ec-46ba-a78c-3edb81ddf1dc Hello everyone, I know this platform is primarily for sharing art and portfolios, but I want to engage the community in a discussion about censorship affecting artists. Recently, I've faced significant challenges with censorship on other platforms. Over the past months, more than 100 of my YouTube videos, where I demonstrate my art through speed painting, have been deleted. If you visit my page here, you'll see that I specialize in creating political cartoons that engage with current events and mainstream news sources. I'm here to ask: do you think it's fair, in America or any democratic society, for artists to face such censorship, regardless of their political stance? These deleted videos were unique; they showcased my artistic process and offered a window into how I bring my ideas to life. As an artist who has dedicated myself to creating political cartoons for three election seasons now, I find it troubling that this censorship seems to intensify particularly in the lead-up to elections. In recent weeks, the situation has escalated dramatically. I'm now seeing two or three of my videos removed every week, despite appealing each deletion and consistently being denied. This pattern not only affects my ability to share my creative process but also undermines the freedom of artistic expression that is fundamental to our society. I invite you to share your thoughts and experiences on this matter. Have you encountered similar challenges? How do you believe artists should navigate these issues moving forward? Let's open up a dialogue about the implications of censorship on creativity and free speech in our community and beyond. Thank you for your attention and support. #cara #censorship #youtube #artists #cartoonists #politics #donaldtrump
