  Why is it important that people use X? Try answering that again, Elon. You fumbled the last time.

    Possibly for the same reason they were (are) trying to ban e2ee

      Nah, they’re not trying to ban end to end encryption because of AI deepfakes and (unofficially) for being a cesspool of barely regulated pro-fascist disinformation.

      They’re trying to ban e2ee to return to the old world (as in before the widespread adoption of the internet) order of them being able to monitor and control every second of every aspect of every citizen’s life.

      The UK government has never been very keen on privacy, except when it comes to their own financial corruption and grift.

  Elon: my child porn generator counts as free speech

  False advertising. Free speech is not what artificially amplified fake news is.

    They sometimes coincide though.

    E.g. nostr offers free speech but has such a small user base it’s easy for fake news to use manipulative tactics for artificial amplification

  He could disable ‘spicy’ mode at any time if he wanted to, so the free speech he is talking about is definitely CSAM and not politics.

  We do want to prevent free speech.

  We also have good reason to block far right US psy ops from operating in the UK.

  Both of these things can be true.

    But then wouldn’t you do that instead of targeting an image generator?

      It seems we lack the courage for number 2 on its own merit.

      Maybe when Greenland is invaded…

  Classic idiots caring more about pedo stuff than literal matters of life or death

  No response when chat bots kill people, only when they make “the wrong kind of” porn

  • apotheotic@beehaw.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    There’s no such thing as child porn, only child sexual abuse material.

    But yes, its fucked up that nothing is done when chatbots are causes of death. That should absolutely also be a catalyst for change.

  I don’t think it’s exactly because of free speech, why didn’t they ban 4chan then

  True but also fuck off.
