Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Honestly one of the most terrifying things I’ve read in a long time - how often is this happening and decisions being made on the basis of AI hallucinated information??

Sharing, or threatening to share, a deepfake intimate image without consent is a criminal offence.
This offence, created by the Data Act last year, will be brought into force this week, and I will make it a priority offence in the Online Safety Act too.

I absolutely welcome the govt's new law making it illegal to create non-consensual intimate images - and I also recognise that legislation is only as good as its enforcement.
We must ensure Ofcom's investigation is conducted swiftly; justice for victims cannot wait.
