Even the "case with the soldier", what someone is fixating on are news headlines. If you read one article, it says "children he knew".

Making a sexual depiction of a particular minor is illegal, yes. This seems very rare, particularly compared to sexual depictions of a fictional minor.

For an issue with such human rights implications, puritanical Bluesky censorship has a remarkable lack of documentation. Perhaps, a project for someone? #FreeSpeech

When Bluesky censors content in a puritanical manner with a paper thin pretext, it's important that people question that. #FreeSpeech

https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2412/04/news200.html In Japan, a conference was held to discuss financial censorship. Lawmakers and a law professor from California spoke there.

"We investigate the balance between regulation and freedom and explore how new forms of resistance and empowerment can emerge in response to increasing attempts to control sexual expression in the digital age."

Other than academics pointing out criminalizing prostitution is bad policy, the War on Prostitution has given us jumpy financial institutions, jumpy tech firms, a contribution to the rise of Q, and so on.

The War on Prostitution in the U.S. is the source of a lot of nonsense.

I'd rather focus on wrongness which creates problems than a wrong take which is technically wrong but I'm not sure has real implications.

On second thought, let's not waste time on bad takes.

It's also a piece of misinfo which has been dead for many years, because it became very clear that it was false.

It's not just a piece of misinfo, it's a particularly stupid piece of misinfo.

I see another got suckered by misinfo #FreeSpeech

There was a case in 2019. It was reported as an "art" case by a new underfunded CSO. It became evident it was about child abuse.

Why do you think the sentence was so harsh? Yeah, it had procedural / due process violations. The Fifth Circuit does weird things. That is problematic in it's own right as due process exists so innocents aren't implicated and defendants might not be sympathetic. However, this doesn't change what the case was about.

From what I can tell, these are scheduled a year in advance (although, what is covered in the conference is decided closer to the date than that).

Two think of the children conferences were held this week. So, watch out for any bad ideas (that might involve surveillance or censorship).

Someone in a film didn't take the idea that there were mole people seriously. We have to take my bizarre hypothetical seriously.

"Okay, even if LLMs can't become sentient. Maybe, we will invent something in the future which will."
🙄

Even if it became practical in the future, it would likely be adopted for very narrow use cases, and there aren't that many. It's not a magical super computer like in the films.
