China is eager to show the world that it can lead in generative AI technology. But one of its first challenges is chillingly unique - how to make its chat bots speak like the Communist Party.

War in Ukraine: Peace on Russian terms will not mean an end to human suffering, Estonian Prime Minister says

  • @Venus You may have missed some points when reading, so here are a few quotes.

    The national internet regulator [Cyberspace Administration of China] on Tuesday launched a month-long public consultation on the proposals.

    Proposals unveiled by the Cyberspace Administration of China on Tuesday ...

    Phone and app developers who want to continue operating in China will have to play by the new rules - or be culled from app stores, said a software engineer who wanted to stay anonymous.

    (Emphasis mine.)

    I agree with you in that it paves the way further to George Orwell's 1984.

  • A new report by human rights activists reveals further violations of law by the Russian government.

    The report noted that forcibly deported children were placed in an unfamiliar environment far removed from Ukrainian language, culture, customs, and religion. It also found that many such children were exposed to military training and “to pro-Russian information campaigns often amounting to targeted reeducation.”

    Russia seems to be creating obstacles for reunification. Russia has no centralized list of transferred children. Additionally, the children are repeatedly moved from place to place, and sometimes referred to by Russian, not Ukrainian, names. Even if Ukrainian families manage to locate a child, they encounter numerous logistical and financial difficulties in returning that child to Ukraine.

    A summary of the report can be read here, the report as pdf is here.

    This is really disgusting.

  • That's not specifically an issue for the Fediverse but your entire online life. You may consider a service like Keyoxide.

    Edit for an addition: I just noticed that this doesn't answer the question. Keyoxide helps to protect against impersonation, not how to find out whether that already happens. I don't know of an easy way to do that, though. You'd probably need to do a lot of research across the web I guess?

  • that's how the justice system works.

    After more than a year in detention, the charges are still unclear. This appears to be another trial behind closed doors, which means that not even his laywer will know what exactly the charges are. It's hard to defend oneself if you don't know what you are accused of.
