It’s a design feature of the fediverse that larger instances are better. Bluesky goes a long way towards solving these issues. So there’s no point in complaining about people not making sacrifices.


The quote is from New Mexico AG Torrez.

Ok. I’m sure AGI-1 and AGI-2 weren’t real AGI. What number is the real AGI? Is it AGI-3?


Someone who uses the /s is no better than an emoji user.


But the parents are doing it wrong! Most don’t even disown their kids when they come out as gay or trans; which is the fault of social media anyway.


ARC-AGI-3
What happened to ARC-AGI-1 and -2?


Yes, but everyone on Lemmy knows that the law only applies to the bad guys.


Yes, of course. Bluesky is also social media and so the precedent set by these cases will apply to it. Besides, knowledge of a subject does tend to affect your judgment.


The New Mexico court heard how Meta’s 2023 decision to encrypt Facebook Messenger – its direct messaging platform, which predators have used as a tool to groom minors and exchange child abuse imagery – blocked access to crucial evidence of these crimes.
Encryption! These monsters!
In the next phase of the legal proceedings, due to begin on 4 May, the attorney general’s office will seek additional financial penalties and court-mandated changes to Meta’s platforms that “offer stronger protections for children”, said Torrez.
The design feature changes the state is seeking include “enacting effective age verification, removing predators from the platform, and protecting minors from encrypted communications that shield bad actors”.
And when that happens, the headline lemmings here will call it enshittification and call for even harsher rules.


Yeah, so I’m holding off celebrating this “historic win” for protecting the children.


By the by, anyone know what Daryl Bem is up to these days?


At this point, I’d be surprised if clairvoyance wasn’t a taken as a serious explanation/defense in some quarters.


Since the (source) FT article is paywalled:


Best guess about the downvotes: UK lawmakers have already discussed VPN crackdowns. Not sure at what stage the proposals are. So it’s not a slippery slope argument. Such laws are part of what builds a Great Firewall.


Why the downvotes?


Even if you only get your news from here, you can’t possibly have missed that AI companies are getting sued…


What is it about AI that these daylight robberies are celebrated when that’s involved? Maybe it’s just that a bigger cash grab can pay for more bots?
That pitch is not gonna work here. The local hive mind already believes that knowledge is a proprietary asset.
Really? How does that work? Like, in what way are the ml?
Just surprised and curious.
