Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

That's all I have for now. Will likely come back with more because I have a lot of obscure games to try, and looking to get more. Here's what I picked up so far used online or back when the 360 store was still up. Never owned a 360 so I'm excited to get into the dark corners of it's catalog.

The gamerculturification of the American right has made it so that a federal agent can kill a queer woman while calling her a fucking bitch and antisocial, angry streamers and politicians will unanimously agree she deserved to die because of pronouns and nose rings and being a woman.

A ream of norms are being shattered daily, but as a tech expert this one really shocks me. For a generation CSAM has been *THE* flaming red line for a tech platform. If they spent money on ANYTHING, it was moderating it miles away. To even have the whiff of it was a Federal kiss of death. Now? 🤷‍♂️
I want to highlight this important story by my friends @nbcnews.com - www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne... "The Internet Watch Foundation said it found topless images of girls that dark web forum users attributed to xAI’s Grok Imagine." <-- the AI generated CSAM / NCII immediately escapes containment
Dark web users cite Grok as tool for making 'criminal imagery' of kids, U.K. watchdog says

The double whammy of Discord moving towards an IPO and sending out a survey to see what sort of AI garbage they could get away with sends a pretty clear message about where they want to go.

they announced this just to capitalize on the love from the black side of the marvel fandom after Black Panther but got nervous once they realized that Blade would actually have to not be family friendly to be authentic & now that cooperate diversity isn't the meta anymore they just killed the film
