If that’s what he’s doing, he still wont sink money into Twitter forever.

I hear the whispers of !bandnames@lemmy.world call me, do you?

Jokes necessarily often leave behind details to work.

Here the whole joke is pointing out similarities we see are forced.

And besides, it’s obvious the author was intentionally being “wrong”, otherwise we’d be suggesting the author assumed the thought-experiment was monkeys who knew language, intentionally typing out great works. That’s a pretty useless situation to make up, it doesn’t suggest anything interesting.

You’re right, but it isnt trying to actually argue that, its a joke.

Yes a fair comparison.

Doesn’t necessarily have to do with conservatism. Not everyone wants to be randomly flashed without consent.

Here’s a related, interesting example for BlueSky, on generating disguised links and preview cards (with content the url doesn’t actually contain) for anyone curious: https://github.com/qwell/bsky-exploits

The article mentions there are aleady a few issues, some quite old. The article is useful for raising awareness and hopefully getting the fix prioratized higher.

They really shouldn’t have omitted in the title that it’s rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.

Reading the sources you’ll see they pushed to ban sexual depictions of minors and rape on one website, and changing the names of such tags on the other two.

How puritanical banning child porn.

This doesn’t deserve sympathy and isnt comparable to not providing payment services to sex workers.

I recoginze pixiv from them hosting one the largest mastodon instance, pawoo. Which is widely blocked for child porn.

Wasn’t surprised reading the article on pixiv’s policy change:

The prohibited content includes (but is not limited to): “Sexual exploitation of a minor, incest, bestiality, rape (or any other non-consensual sexual behavior),” and “non-consensual mutilation of a person or body part.”

Oh the horror.

If you look at the other replies, you’ll see people politely explaining. You didnt have to make these rude replies.

Deepfakes are being used to personalize political messages in India, here’s a fun article on it which also points out an instance all the way back from 2020: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/20/deepfake-democracy-behind-the-ai-trickery-shaping-indias-2024-elections

It also mentions using deepfakes to target constituencies speaking different languages, to defame opposing parties, and even creating deepfakes to cast doubt on legitimate videos:

Ahead of the state election in November, the caller requested that Jadoun alter a problematic but authentic video of their candidate – ​​whose party he did not disclose – to make a realistic deepfake. The aim: to claim that the original was a deepfake, and the deepfake the original.

I’ve a few times shared personal information to people I am friendly with in public chats, accidentally or while not putting much thought into it. I imagine there are others like me who wouldn’t want to be doxxed.

Whatsapp is E2E encrypted isn’t it.

I can’t imagine how bad things must be for amateurish mistakes like that to have gotten through to the actual app.

Backyard to die for.

War crimes in a civil war and immigration issues involving Russian tourists. They seem a tad bit unrelated :P

The link to an article from 1999 refers to an entirely different case where a woman was executed during the previous rule of Afganistan by the Taliban. It isnt being used as evidence for this event.

I’m not sure why you dismiss the Independent but here’s the AP reporting the same: https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-taliban-public-execution-stadium-73a175aef085f26bd6b574465be34c6f
