Protest on them trying to enact age consent laws.

By showing the message rather than Pornhub’s vast library of adult content, Aylo “is communicating directly with the French people to tell them how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is”, Solomon Friedman of Aylo’s owner, Ethical Capital Partners, told reporters in a video call on Tuesday.

Paris has this year gradually introduced requirements for all adult websites to have users confirm their age with details like a credit card or ID document.

In a bid to preserve privacy, operators must offer a third-party “double-blind” option that would keep the platforms themselves from seeing users’ identifying information.

Edit - the sauce - Pornhub, YouPorn owner suspends access to French users over age verification law

There’s also AI generated CSAM now, and can be generated via prompt loopholes. Still fucking sick if you ask me…

To the surprise of nobody… 😆

They were doing a business.

We’re aimed at achieving a new level of employee empowerment, enhancing both our team’s performance and the customer experience.

To use an ancient acronym:

ROFLMAO

They will probably use the YouTube model - “you’re wrong and that’s it”.

Last update 2010. Makes me sad. Good times using IRC, I should find a modern program and get back on there.

DuckDuckGo has made A.I. results optional, which is a good move.

Companies that are making it fixed can go swimming in lava for all I care (looking at you Google).

What I find insidious is that they sell us this evil technology via funny little trends.

Fair point.

Nick Clegg is not “legendary” in the slightest.

What do you expect from a company that removed independent fact-checkers, wanted to add AI profiles as users, amongst other things? I think they relish bots and the engagement they bring to the platform, completely blind-sided by how bad it looks for them long-term.

Assuming we had friends in the first place - something I haven’t had for about 25-odd years now…

If this were really true, why is there the existence of link rot and a large volume of online lost media?

I think the proper way to say this is that “if you post it on the internet, you should consider it being there forever”.

For example - a personal one. I did a short ambient music podcast series highlighting artists who release music via Creative Commons (a new thing at the time). It was only 5 episodes, and I have the first one archived. The other four are now completely lost to time, despite being put out on the internet back then. It’s not there forever.

In terms of social media, it’s harder to not be forever, but even that’s down to the same issues - has someone else archived it, screenshotted, especially in the case of a site ceasing to function? Internet Archive doesn’t preserve everything either. Plenty of archived pages missing images or files that enable true functionality to view everything as it was.

Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg…

Now let me stop you right there. The answer is no. It’s always no when Zuck is involved.

I love the fact that the information they can provide is basically a couple of reference points that takes up a quarter of a page 🤣
