Prince Harry virtue signals by attending "think of the children" event. I mean, let's face it, does anyone get any value whatsoever from having him turn up?
"think of the children" is a whole other problem.
Prince Harry of all people plans to show up to tell people to "think of the children".
Re-reading a study can take a while (there might be dozens of pages to go through) so that is one reason why it might take a while for me to post an update for the science post. It's not the only reason.
@glynmoody Weren't Texas trying to force Facebook to host Nazi speech not that long ago?
@thenewoil It is *not* CSAM, that is sensationalistic nonsense from someone with a beef with "AI".

"Digital Fairness Act"
"addictive design"
How much is the "right amount" of use? Do you want the State dictating that? Also, do you want States going out of their way to make products harder (or more unpleasant) to use in an attempt to make them less "addictive"?

While I'd like to supplement it further, my current science post is already very good.
Lol, a random old post of mine appeared in the home feed.

@glynmoody artificial "intelligence"
@Kostyatine @gerrymcgovern In the case of science, it doesn't even really have anything to do with the middleman.
Scientists produce the science. Scientists review each others work. The middleman provides a platform and takes a hefty cut for it. A lot of this science is also publicly funded, and I think that if something is publicly funded, then it's only fair for the public to have access to it.
As pointed out in this post to debunk porn being spooky (which taps into various scientific studies), kinkshaming is also harmful. Can we not point at people as if they're freaks? #AI #HumanRights
@ulidig @404mediaco While I agree with that, the article is also ridiculously sensationalistic about a fantasy which crops up a lot these days and where the sky doesn't fall.
@404mediaco Kinkshaming is wrong. Who really cares what someone does with a bot?
The theory as to why it is called "child abuse material" (as I've covered before, it's actually an Australian phrase) is that it is supposed to involve someone being abused.
If you apply it to everything, then that dilutes it (a tactic which a few far right extremists with an agenda use to confuse people). That is just kinkshaming. We have seen you reference an associate of a far right grifter before (that is where they get their nonsense from).

Taboo fantasies are also fairly common, and the science does not point to engaging in a fantasy being bad (if there isn't a victim).
The privacy / security issue is concerning though.

@GrahamDowns @404mediaco One study put it at around about 20% of the population. Another put it at around 10%. I suppose at that point, the number doesn't really matter.
