  • Your quote:

    Channel 13 journalist Zvi Yehezkeli admits Israel purposefully and premeditatedly murdered the family of Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh:

    Is this Zvi fellow saying he himself murdered Dahdouh? If not, then it's not an "admission". It's just a "claim".

  • Python, JavaScript, or (if you have a Mac) maybe Swift.

    (Probably not Java or C++. They're too big.)

    But really it doesn't matter much. CS snobs used to say that "BASIC causes brain damage" but a whole generation of programmers proved that to be wrong. The important part is to keep going and not stop. After you learn one language, learn another. There's no such thing as a good programmer who only knows one language.

  • Deepfakes of an actual child should be considered defamatory use of a person's image; but they aren't evidence of actual abuse the way real CSAM is.

    Remember, the original point of the term "child sexual abuse material" was to distinguish images/video made through the actual abuse of a child, from depictions not involving actual abuse -- such as erotic Harry Potter fanfiction, anime characters, drawings from imagination, and the like.

    Purely fictional depictions, not involving any actual child being abused, are not evidence of a crime. Even deepfake images depicting a real person, but without their actual involvement, are a different sort of problem from actual child abuse. (And should be considered defamatory, same as deepfakes of an adult.)

    But if a picture does not depict a crime of abuse, and does not depict a real person, it is basically an illustration, same as if it was drawn with a pencil.
