He tweeted once and is therefore canceled because social media doesn’t understand nuance or context

It’s literally a nothing situation that social media, in its drive to find outrage in every single thing, has blown completely out of proportion.

It’s just institutional racism with extra steps

My mom doesn’t seem to know.

She knows where the browser is and how to adjust the volume and is having a great time.

Delete your Meta accounts, ffs

New Nichole just dropped

Social media users love to clutch their pearls.

Treating it like it’s exploitative let’s them get their little dose of outrage, it doesn’t matter if it matches reality or not.

Despite the fact that, as you pointed out, to do so often requires that they assume some pretty offensive things (like, “a 19-20 year old is only good for sex and housework”).

What’s the follow on effect from making generated images illegal?

Do you want your freedom to be at stake where the question before the Jury is “How old is this image of a person (that doesn’t exist?)”. “Is this fake person TOO child-like?”

When that happens, how do you tell which images are AI generated and which are real? How do you know who is peddling real CP and who isn’t if AI-generated CP is legal?

You won’t be able to tell, we can assume that this is a given.

So the real question is:

Who are you trying to arrest and put in jail and how are you going to write that difference into law so that innocent people are not harmed by the justice system?

To me, the evil people are the ones harming actual children. Trying to blur the line between them and people who generate images is a morally confused position.

There’s a clear distinction between the two groups and that distinction is that one group is harming people.

Child Sexual Abuse Material is abhorrent because children were literally abused to create it.

AI generated content, though disgusting, is not even remotely on the same level.

The moral panic around AI that leads to implying that these things are the same thing is absurd.

Go after the people filming themselves literally gang raping toddlers, not the people typing forbidden words into an image generator.

Don’t dilute the horror of the production CSAM by equating it to fake pictures.

If I find out Lemmy.world has a mouse favicon I’m going to be disappointed

It is literally uBlock. It updates with uBlock, uses uBlock filtering, uBlock options, uBlock UI.

The only difference is that it also does ad fuckery and there is a button that you can press to configure the ad fuckery and see a log of the ad fuckery.

Other than that it is exactly uBlock.

Just have everyone agree on a set of fonts to report and report those.

The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.

Sure, it’ll only cost you every bit of your privacy as governments make illegal and eliminate any means for people to communicate without the eye of Big Brother watching.

Every anti-privacy measure that governments put forward is always like "We need to be able to track your location in real time, read all of your text messages and see every picture that your phone ever takes so that we can catch the .001% of people who are child predators. Look at how scary they are!

Why are you arguing against these anti-pedophile laws?! You don’t support child sex predators do you?!"

It’s like being a kid again 🤩

To sanitize the traumatic video as much as possible: A man is driving under an overpass and a brick is dropped through the passenger side window instantly killing his wife. He reacts in horror.

People have other options, but the easiest option is always going to be to let someone else do it. Their price is, almost always, your private data and a subscription.

Or, you can DIY and self-host. Home Assistant is free and supports many different standards so you can use just about any hardware. It runs on your own hardware and doesn’t report to anyone unless you tell it to. It requires more effort than swiping a credit card and installing an app, however.

Using autistic as a derogatory slur is rude for no reason.

It also adds noise to the site metrics and recommendation algorithm making them less valuable overall.

It’s like the application that will watermark images with digital noise designed to throw off AI training that uses that image.

You’re no longer a user who is able to be profiled (because you ‘like’ things completely at random). If everyone was using a plugin like this then advertisers wouldn’t be able to serve targeted content because they wouldn’t know what content types work best for each user because every user clicks ads randomly and so there is no detectable signal, just noise.

You get the same effect, but reduced, if less people are using it.

In addition, if half of the users on a website are using adblockers and suddenly those users start clicking ads, then it costs twice as much to advertise while not providing any additional customers which makes spending money on web advertisement less attractive.

It’s not even practically the same thing, it is exactly the same plugin as uBlock Origin, same UI, blocklists, etc but with added features.

Exactly. You can’t completely avoid being tracked but you can ensure that your profile is just noise without any value to advertisers
