I’m not sure if there are protests specific to each of these companies, but if you’re near one of them, it may be worth trying to start something local.

I’ve mostly been attending the protests run by Palestinian Youth Movement Toronto who had a hand in writing these reports. https://linktr.ee/pymtoronto also check out https://www.findaprotest.info/

The latest report names these companies for using the loophole to route parts through the US.

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Good call, I’ll mention Patreon in my future emails.

Yup, that’s why I’m asking them to use the alternative as a secondary, not a primary platform. I just want the option for now, we’ll have to see how things shake out in terms of monetization a few years from now.

It’s fine to call this out, but please consider judging the article on its content. Here’s an archive link: https://archive.is/2NfW7

People who care about privacy, myself included, should not shy away from the real consequences of the technology, especially when the profit motives of big tech are involved. I’d recommend listening to the podcast series in my other comment. I think there’s a lot that can be done to hold SnapChat and Meta accountable for their lax protection systems that do not require draconian anti-privacy laws. So if you care about privacy, you should at least support that approach to reducing real and devastating harm.

Related: TVO did an excellent six-episode podcast series featuring CCCP’s “Project Arachnid” software which scans the web for CSAM. It’s a tough subject, but really good journalism: https://www.tvo.org/podcasts/arachnid-hunting-the-webs-darkest-secrets

There ought to be a legal fund for these deepfake lawsuits so we can sue every one of these scummy companies out of existence. I’d donate to it.

left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.

what the fuck?

I’d like the bubble to be true so that we can move past this nonsense phase, and it may well be true, but I could also see it being extended for years potentially, since there’s so much money being pumped into it, and governments are also buying into the hype.

Just Uncomplicated Socialist Tech

Yes, probably, but you know what, even if the DEI was performative, it had a real positive impact for tens of thousands of employees and the culture set by the media empire they control, and now we don’t even have that.

Reminder that Disney owns a metric ton of entertainment and media: https://www.titlemax.com/media/every-company-disney-owns-13_pageversion.jpg

What really gets me about this news is that the article lists initiatives they supported in previous years under DEI, and they’re the most reasonable good things for a company to do, for example:

• Executive incubator program and creative talent development program designed to engage the next generation of creative executives from underrepresented backgrounds
• Heroes Work Here, an initiative to hire, train and support U.S. military veterans
• Over 100 employee-led groups, which represent and support the diverse communities that make up our global workforce
• Innovative learning opportunities, which spark dialogue among employees, leaders, Disney talent and external experts
• The Disney Look appearance guidelines, which were updated to cultivate a more inclusive environment that encourages and celebrates authentic expressions of belonging among employees
• Established six pillars that serve as the foundation for our D&I commitments — transparency, accountability, representation, content, community, and culture

This feels a lot like US border patrol intimidation. Sad to see it in Canada

You and I are not at odds, friend. I think you’re assuming I want to ban the technology out right. It’s possible to call out the issues with something without being wholly against it. I’m sure you would want to prevent these deaths as well.

A friendly human spell checked me and probably used less than a peanut worth of energy.
