#Musk Pledged to Cleanse #Twitter of Child Abuse Content. Is It Working?

Child sexual abuse imagery spreads on Twitter even after the company is notified: One video drew 120,000 views. “Sewer rats,” as one regulator described bad actors, remain.

Video: Del. Danica Roem Powerfully Demolishes Far-Right-Extremist Del. Dave LaRock’s Bill For “forcibly outing kids regardless of the safety of their home” ("You have no idea what you're doing.

Twitter suspended 400K for child abuse content but only reported 8K to police https://arstechnica.com/?p=1915357

Can you imagine the outrage from MAGA if the Pentagon shot down the balloon over Montana and the debris killed a ranch family?

Why didn’t Trump shoot down the Chinese balloons that flew over Texas and Florida during his administration?

An outlandish figure who derailed racial justice protests in Denver was actually an FBI informant with a sex crime conviction.

Mickey Windecker sowed distrust between activist factions and pushed a man into an illegal gun buy. For his work, the FBI paid Windecker tens of thousands of dollars *that we know of*: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-an-fbi-informant-derailed-denvers-blm-movement

Police forensics is already plagued by human biases. Experts say AI will make it even worse.

Motherboard spoke to multiple voice actors and advocacy organizations, some of which said contracts including language around synthetic voices are now very prevalent. “I can only hope that synthetic voices just go away entirely, but at the very least, act

Disney's strategy to win its battle with DeSantis is to just wait until he runs for president, says a top Florida Democrat

Worth reading this post on a right wing publication in which they -- like their favorite person, Christopher Rufo and their favorite white nationalist-seeming governor, Ron DeSantis -- give away the game, Scooby Doo Villain style: they want to take over universities across the station, and strip them of the dreaded "diversity, equity and inclusion" that they straight-up label as "anti-white." Welcome to 14-words conservatism.

I've seen and heard a few comments saying Brazil's situation "resembles” the U.S. January 6 attack. It's worse than that.

It was inspired by and consciously modeled on the American insurrection. The GOP is no longer a pro-democracy party. They have been for years trying to destroy faith in our democracy and those around the world, undermine our institutions, and gain power to end our democracy.

They are a clear and present danger to our way of life, liberty, freedoms, and rights.

Many Americans used to believe our country was a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. Republicans turned us into a beacon of how to stage a coup.

All of us need to come to grips with this. We need to act. We need to work to stop them. We need to organize at all levels. This certainly won’t be the last they have inspired. #Bolsonaro #Brazil

@chancerydaily I think I’ve sorted out why Elon erect a financial barrier to Twitter’s API. I suspect the NYT had to use Twitter’s API to run the program they used for this story. This seems like a very Elon way to discourage evaluation of Twitter through controlling access to the tools.
