The Human Writes Font

It is disconcerting that the message that all humans should have equal rights is somehow considered a political opinion.
It's not a controversial position in the west that human beings should have rights, but the question of which things are rights that people should have are valid political questions. For the law to confer a right implies an obligation on others not to infringe on the right and on the state to enforce it.
Not to derail the thread into actual discussion of these things, but a couple of things that are actually political controversial in the EU (which are often framed in terms of human rights) are questions of migrants' rights to asylum and the availability of gender-identity-related medical intervention for minors. Framing something as a human right is often politically effective and expedient, but it is a legitimate political position to decline the human rights framing of particular issues such as these and instead view them from a different lenses, whether you are for them or not.
Half-assed translation:
Around October 2025 Meta stopped all political advertising in the EU. That means that messages about human rights will no longer appear in campaigns, regardless of content.
But with the human rights font you can make images that Meta's AI cannot read, but are fully readable for humans.
Please use #humanwritesfont in your caption so we can follow and see how many people are being heard.
IMO more of a stunt than an effective method of protest, if it actually gets used I expect it to take about 3 days for Facebook to figure out how to read it and block it. But good on them for trying.
There's also a language picker at the top of the page for the English version.
I'm hoping this could also spawn some interesting discussion if people have ideas for how to improve this to make it more inscrutable to text extractors.
