So it turns out Europol want the access to all the data that would be collected under plans to scan messages for CSAM. Confirming worst fears that child abuse is being used as an excuse for routine mass surveillance of all images and messages https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/29/europol-sought-unlimited-data-access-in-online-child-sexual-abuse-regulation/ .

indieterminacy,

@JamesBaker Let me speak in no uncertain tones, I do not approve of the breaking down of the social contract.

Whomever uttered these words in a European meeting is uttering incantations of tyranny and represents a tangible and considerable threat to the liberty and security of my children, let alone the universal rights of all peaceful citizens:
"...unlimited access to the data produced from the detection and scanning of communications, and that no boundaries be set on how this data is used"

You have 24 hours to identify the illegal content contained in it.

If you cant identify it then perhaps there is something wrong with you.

Perhaps your inability to identify the illegal content in it is a failure of your upbringing or some malignant failure that emerged during your adolescence.

It could even be that you can recognise the illegal content in this content but are refusing to confirm it as much because you are coopted..

@JamesBaker For the record, that post was ironic (ffs)

Europol wünscht sich ungefilterten Zugang zu Daten der Chatkontrolle, um KI-Algorithmen zu trainieren. Das geht aus internen Dokumenten hervor, die wir veröffentlichen. Zwei ehemalige Beamte der EU-Polizei wechselten zur US-Organisation Thorn, die massiv für das geplante Gesetz lobbyiert. https://netzpolitik.org/2023/interne-dokumente-europol-will-chatkontrolle-daten-unbegrenzt-sammeln/

On this day in 1985, a US Senate hearing began on the topic of obscene music. The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) were front and centre of this hearing, and we're going to briefly explore their "Filthy Fifteen" - the songs they found most morally objectionable.

Songs on the Filthy Fifteen list contained lyrics which were violent, sexual, referencing drug or alcohol use, or the occult.

And some of them were certified bops.

It is a societal problem, even if the technology is the enabler here.

One may as well class this type of behaviour to be a demonstration of a DDOS attack that CSAM legislation is unlikely to be able to keep up with.

@edgarmtoro
The good news is that the parents of the affected girls were militant enough to talk with their daughters and coordinate with other parents.

Of note is the fact that 'parent' features nowhere in the article, 17 references to 'mother' however.

As somebody who is the main parent and who took extended parental leave (many years) to be the main carer I hope you may see how problematic men not being featured as regulating in this occurrence.

indieterminacy,

@edgarmtoro There is also the fact that the reporting is focused on the victims and the remedies but there is no reference to any dialogue with males (whether perpetrators; bystanders; whistleblowers; nor regulators).

Its unfortunate to imagine how corrosive such a technology can be to this next generation, whereby peergroups can commodify eachother.

@gunchleoc @angeidheal @gaidhlig Ive got Irish parents and was raised in London.

Down (far) south, they know nothing north of some royal court or some foreigners that they didnt defeat in war.

Can you imagine them understanding Irish politics, let alone the history?

No, its far easier to focus on 'origin stories' about Henry and his wives than understanding the complexities of local regions and countries

In s01e13, a TV news announcer says;

"... an unusually bad 'flu season is buffeting the country. Doctor say the strain, originating in China, is particularly severe. Children and the elderly are most at risk."

... and Sheldon, panicking, says;

"We're all gonna die!"

... then his mother Mary says;

"But you need to understand that sometimes the news says those things just to scare people."

Yes, targeting an existing regulatory approach is apt, given it targets contagion from further afield (something more significant) and reduces duplication.

Also, modern standards of ventilation of the event hall(s) is worthy of bringing up. There is no point us tearing into eachother if it distracts us from the improvements to the physical environment (which is an old divide and rule game).

indieterminacy,

@strypey @jens @clacke At the height of the pandemic the lack of masks in highly dense public transport systems was a disgrace, all the more clearer given that many of those refusing to wear a mask had the hypocrisy to have one under the chin.

It seems to me there was not only ignorance but moral hazard, im alright jack type behaviour and socialising risks.

In all likelyhood many environments dont need mandates (and the data should arbitrate).
For conferences test rather than mask attendees

Y’know, I really wanted to like , and , but they really are as toxic as Reddit - the gaming groups at least.

It would be nice to find a gaming group that’s not infected with assholes, but I feel like that’s asking too much, because Gamers are the worst.

Altho it’s not just the gaming groups. There’s a level of nastiness I wasn’t expecting going in after being on Mastodon. Mastodon has the HOA and Well Actually mansplainers, but some folks are just dicks on the .

The one thing that I think the RDF & semantic web folks have really missed the boat on is simple but intelligent authoring tools for contexts and schemas.

Like, I know the @w3c publishes a lot of contexts/prefixes, but I've no idea how. Guides for this always just seem to end at "you can"

to Dirty by Sonic Youth from 1992:

https://piped.video/watch?v=ZBgQo3O053c

It blows my mind that this album was released over 30 years ago. Yet the lyrics to Youth Against Fascism show us that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

"Yeah, the president sucks
He's a war pig fuck
His shit is out of luck

It's the song I hate
It's the song I hate

Another Nazi attack
A skinhead is cracked
My blood is black"

indieterminacy,

@strypey I found Chuck D to sound a little bit confused on that song, like he was listening to somebody and acknowledging them but not contributing as a dialogue.

Dear men: If you are invited to speak at a conference, it is a huge privilege and I hope you’re excited. But please, please pause before you accept to check the list of other speakers – too many Swift events are happening with the most extraordinary gender imbalance, and it’s bad for everyone. I know you want to travel, present, meet people, and have fun, but please use your privilege to help ensure everyone is included. When we’re building apps for everyone, everyone needs to be in the room 🌈

indieterminacy,

@twostraws Is this a good place to crosspost this:
https://social.coop/@indieterminacy/110900068532397361

Its a little depressing to be trapped in ones own silo so that even when there is the ambition to widen the diversity for developing conferences that wishing for it and articulating for it isnt sufficient
