• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I read a newspaper article some months ago. I think google image cannot be used for this goal. I am not sure why but it seems to be not accurate enough.

Such a technology can easily be misused. And it is likely that some companies know that but don't intervene. They rather want to make profits over ethics.

In my country (and I think in the EU) certain companies violate privacy regulations with this technology. Such technology can easily be used by governments to monitor the citizens. Also in brutal regimes for example during protests.

The main usage of it is clear. A tool to search for porn. Often even reveng porn. Certain companies even used this as marketing trick. When confronted with it they changed their strategy.

So I think this could mean a lot of problerms in the future. Especially for women. The mixture of deep fake porn and face search engines like that can have devastating consequences. Though also for men this can result in problems.


I don't want to scare people. Either we get used to it or there will be regulations and stricter laws. I assume the latter one.

for something to be even dangerous in this world, there'd have to be safety.

There is no safety. There never have been any.

The whole universe is a race to destruction. The more you destroy, the higher your chances of survival.

so anyway I don't think face recognition is the problem here.

I agree with Insomniac. What is the society looking to do with such technology? I doubt that there is a dangerous bug in the software...
