I'm reading crazy nonsense conflating teenagers viewing porn with them being "abused" and teens making jokes about sex (or whatever) to each other with them being groomed.
I don't even know how to comment on this. It's too crazy for me. #ukpol
More nonsense for me to read, and maybe comment on.
@ThinkingSapien When a character stops time for five seconds, spends a minute talking, and then jumps over to do whatever they're going to do before time runs out.
@ThinkingSapien I usually just read the books, then maybe I'll put the anime for it on for fun.

More than half the world now faces a freedom of expression crisis.
“At no point in the last 20 years have so many people been denied the benefits of open societies,” says our executive director, Quinn MCKew

Palestine. Where someone who might be against hate speech prohibitions suddenly decides they like them when it comes to opposing Israel.

https://www.defendonlineprivacy.com/ca/action.php You really should take the time to oppose the #California "#AgeVerification" bill which for some inexplicable reason has a lot of support in the Assembly.
There are #privacy implications, there are security implications, it impedes speech, and might make some sites inaccessible entirely (#FreeSpeech). It also violates the #FirstAmendment.
@Tupp_ed https://qoto.org/@olives/112483833316074543 I tore apart "age verification" (and censorship) in my new porn science piece here. It's not written specifically for Ireland.
I am actually kind of surprised that Ireland would be one of the first to push "age verification".
It appears that modifying a video to make it appear that he committed a crime was defamatory.

"Carlos Edmilson da Silva had already served three years in prison for a crime he had not committed when he was arrested in the Brazilian city of Barueri and accused of a string of horrific rapes.
His face was plastered across newspapers and TV reports, where he was dubbed the “maniac of Castello Branco”, after the highway where 12 women had been raped over two years.
At the age of 24, he was convicted in the first of the 12 cases. By the end of the trials, he had been sentenced to a total of 170 years in jail, where he spent 12 years – before DNA tests revealed that another man had been responsible for the crimes."
"Da Silva’s convictions were all based on photo recognition, in which victims were shown his mugshot and asked whether they believed he was the perpetrator."
"But the rapist’s “characteristics” were just that he was a “medium-height Black man”, said Rahal."

Out of fear of misguided #DSA / #DigitalServicesAct takes, I refer to my new porn science post (actually a repost of it) where I'm not fond of censorship or "age verification".

"A jury has awarded more than $1.1m to an #Idaho drag performer who accused a far-right blogger of defaming him when she falsely claimed that he exposed himself to a crowd, including children, during a Pride event in June 2022."

FIRE came up with a model bill (a proposal) which compels the U.S. Government to be more transparent about the content moderation requests which they make. What do you think? #FreeSpeech
