Even if you can somehow get past the absolutely horrendous privacy implications, how the fuck is this even supposed to work? They want to prevent “digital flashing” (eg, dick pics), but how the fuck is any system supposed to be able to tell the difference between consensual and non-consensual content? What if someone wants to see a picture of someone’s dick? Even assuming you can create a computer model that can accurately identify a dick pic every single time (you can’t), it would also have to be able to infer context to a level that would require effectively human level intelligence and the ability to make judgements across the entirety of a person’s communications. This is so far beyond impossible, from a purely technical standpoint, that I cannot begin to imagine how it was ever allowed to become law.
Dick or hot dog.
I wonder how this will affect projects like Simplex
That’s disgusting.
Why is the government obsessed with scanning people’s privates?
Sex is a scapegoat for implementing surveillance and discrimination systems. The same as every “think of the children” law ever passed.
It’s not about the children, it’s about making it impossible for opponents to justify in the 10 second sound bite that the media allows with no further context whatsoever. And that’s all of the media that 90% of people consume.
It is not the goal just a step to the end goal.
they should just do preemptive scanning of everything you see at this point./s
That’s pretty much the endgame here.
