I still remember when a half-Japanese woman, who grew up in New York, flew to Japan and started writing extremely racist things for the rest of the world.
Very casually and very misleadingly.
@LouisIngenthron Wow, fast progress.
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/jul/26/ghana-abolishes-death-penalty-with-expected-reprieve-for-176-condemned-prisoners Ghana abolishes the death penalty (except for high treason).
When you wake up, look at the Internet, and there are puritans with ridiculous takes, authoritarians with a fetish for State control, someone talking about how wretched, miserable, and worthless their life is and how they want to just end it, and other "delightful" things.

@LouisIngenthron You know how to fly a plane? :o
@portalresearcher@hachyderm.io @tokyo_0 @det Noting that Google's algorithms have been known to misclassify computer generated images.
Also, David is known to not actually look at the matches from that other tool, for legal reasons, which could mean a certain number of false positives.
Either way, the numbers are actually very small, especially compared to mainstream social media.
The main argument he has is that sites don't use one very specific tool, but otherwise seem to take action.
@portalresearcher@hachyderm.io @tokyo_0 @det https://qoto.org/@olives/110779042395621742 I wrote some words about this earlier. I might write some more later.
Quite a few posts trickling in. Yeah, down with KOSA.
This is obviously a pretty big invasion of privacy, and I'm wondering what exactly it is that's spurred this.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/checkpoints/202306/kids-math-and-reading-scores-drop-but-is-it-sgnificant A good new article from Dr. Ferguson about math and reading scores in light of covid-19 and how some reactions to it might be a bit exaggerated.
This sounds like something which calls for Dr. Ferguson. Buster of video game moral panics.

https://www.pcgamer.com/the-esrb-wants-to-start-using-facial-recognition-to-check-peoples-ages/ The ESRB wants to scan your face to guess your age to control what video games minors can play and how much of it they can play.
Ugh, is it another video game related moral panic...?
I don't usually cover these ones, however, since it intersects with the First Amendment and the Internet, I'll give a crack at it.
I think that, yeah, it's a clear 1A violation for a sex offender to be forced to go around social media with a mark of shame.
It's compelled speech. This is ipso facto a First Amendment violation.
Even if it's an awful person, I don't really want to be making exceptions here and there, on principle.
Also, this sounds like a good way to attract harassment and to avoid positive socialization. Their families might also be harassed.
Someone who is up to evil could likely find a way around this. This is going to hit someone acting in good faith, rather than a bad actor.
You also have to consider that some sex crimes are more or less heinous than others. Does it make sense to treat a more minor one the same as the worst of the worst?
Also, some of these were committed as *minors*.
@det Do the posts have mangled URLs and other oddities? We reported some like these outside of the fedi.
