It's the power of defaults.

1 person will hate the change but 100 others will be affected by the default and not care. The net result is more as revenue even if the first user cancels their account.

Exactly this.

You're not the customer. Google is an advertising company, their customers are people who buy ads.

People who watch shorts watch more videos so there are more slots to put ads in. So, you're going to watch shorts.

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.

Congress is just letting the Executive Branch complete usurp it's power because they value party above country.

Give it a few days

It's not unfair to say, given recent events, that Israel has an unusual amount of influence over Western countries.

Nothing antisemitic about it. Israel has the means and capabilities of running influence operations in a way that Palestine doesn't.

"Jewish bankers", however, is a pretty common antisemitic trope so I don't think you're wrong about this specific commenter

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?!"

Nuance is dead on social media.

It isn't that bad, yet, on Lemmy but it gets to the point where people just scream past each other and because of things like default ranking comments by vote instead of a timeline whoever can get/bot the most votes wins and the other person is cast into the oblivion of "Click here to see more comments".

On social media?...

It's like being a kid again 🤩

It's diffeRent

Basically every subreddit on the front page is botted hard with political posts pushing far-right content.

I used Reddit when it was a tiny backwater site (Digg was the place to be, everyone knew that).

Sure, the comments could get a bit out of hand but nothing on this level. This is industrial levels of bad faith trolls and bots manipulating the conversations so only the most outrageous takes are visible.

It's a joke to make fun of how moderation heavy r/conservative is. That kind of social media manipulation seems quaint now. That's one just a person, or a few people trying to engineer a filter bubble.

The operation(s) taking over social media are huge numbers of people augmented with vote manipulation bots and LLMs so that they dominate the algorithms with their brand of content and so they get to influence what millions of people read all day and thus what and how they think.

Canada it's driving a specific message, in GCJ it'll have a different topic but the same tactics.

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.

Straight to Salvadorian jail

Just install protonup-qt. Gives you an easy, UI based, way to install GE-Proton without messing around copying files manually.

Dude acts like he's never heard of the Federalist society who make up most of the Supreme Court
