Well, privacy laws usually have a few more moving parts than just their service provider, for instance, someone could opt out of a data broker.
The cases I've seen tend to be more about service providers so that comes to mind.
Someone said that opting their data out of something like ChatGPT after the fact might lead to resource intensive retraining.
Keep in mind though that that particular model likely has to be retrained every now and then to stay current anyway.
@wildebest I like Signal as far as privacy is concerned but it has quite a few flaws, such as the phone number requirement.
In theory, the Signal protocol is a separate thing from Signal the app / service, although it's not federated.
And yeah, I would be wary of centralizing so much on one particular "instance", as it were.
@freezenet Another likely problem would probably be if the algorithm thinks someone's name is indecent. Dunno if it applies to airlines though, it has appeared elsewhere.
@SirTapTap For whatever reason, your old avatar still appears over here on this instance. Oh well. Have you seen the Yugioh parody?
@freezenet Wait until they encounter their first vampire, lol. Someone could probably make that a joke in a book.

https://www.theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/28/uk-prisoner-jailed-for-23-months-killed-himself-after-being-held-for-17-years What do you think of this? I think it makes sense for "23 months" to mean no longer than 23 months. #HumanRights

Since you appear to be having difficulty following U.S. porn Laws, maybe these rationales as to how they come to decisions might help (also, science / takes about how porn isn't bad):

For what it's worth, someone could probably pass a law restricting a company from using their customer's data without their consent. I'm thinking of the case where the ISP wanted to strike down the law preventing them from selling user data here.
@SirTapTap Peach can be pretty cool. I remember one game with a shadow princess. The name of it escapes me.
@SirTapTap Super Princess Peach? The mushroom eating plumber was replaced? Lol.
I thought of writing "Californian idea" but that would have made it harder to do the hashtag.

https://reason.com/2024/04/24/tennessee-gov-bill-lee-quietly-kills-clemency-initiative-for-drug-free-school-zone-offenders/
"Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has quietly ended a fast-track clemency process for drug-free school zone offenders who were serving outdated sentences."
"The Tennessee Legislature passed a bill in 2020 reducing the size of these zones to 500 feet and requiring that the mandatory minimums be applied only if a defendant's conduct actually endangered children. But the new law was not retroactive, so hundreds of offenders were left to serve the remainder of their sentences."

It is also worth considering whether what someone has a problem with is a particular form of content, or some other conduct which can be independently punished (and often, one doesn't presume the other, and consequently, could be bad for due process and lead to innocent people being punished for the behaviors of other people).
I covered each point to get the gist of the law across (because I've seen quite a bit of nonsense in that area), not to make a point about the frequency of each particular point. Or relevance to any particular site / person.
"fictional children"
If I've said this once, I've said it a thousand times. If it's porn involving someone who "doesn't exist" (i.e. a fictional character), then it is generally protected by the First Amendment (there is also no scientific basis for prohibitions as I establish there, * also applies).
Typically, the law here follows the doctrine of the "fruit of the poisonous tree", so one theory for prohibiting "actual child porn" involves an actual minor actually being abused to produce it.
There is also a privacy like theory where if something deliberately looks like an actual minor, then that is grounds for someone being held personally liable.
The doctrine of the "fruit of the poisonous fruit" also applies to searches under the Fourth Amendment where if evidence originates from an illegal search then the evidence itself is considered tainted.
Also, keep in mind, that concepts like "child-like" can be notoriously fuzzy, and it's not in anyone's best interests for such a subjective call to be made.
Ugh... There's more puritanical nonsense, so it looks like I have to debunk that again... First off, even if online porn "might" be "problematic" t...
