I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

Any other product that called itself “MechaHitler” and produced CSAM would be immediately withdrawn from the market, discontinued, and its creators facing legal consequences.
But for some reason, the guy who gave the president a quarter of a billion dollars is not worried.

A study shows Montanans are growing more tolerant of wolves, with tolerance levels jumping from 41% in 2012 to 74% in 2023.
They found that people’s tolerance for wolves grows through their experiences- positive encounters or not seeing a wolf at all boosts acceptance.
