I'm watching Gladiator tonight for the first time in 20 years. It's hardly new but so painful to watch again through the lens of the current state of America. It went from ominous historical warning 25 years ago of power, weakness and how men act in opportune moments to a primer on current affairs.

Many don't have the capacity left to make conscious decisions about these things - either they are already living paycheck to paycheck or it is too abstract for them to realize it might bite them and everyone else on a future date. Even if i have ideas for the first group that I have no power to make reality, I don't have a solution for the second group either.

Still not a good idea, discord and Reddit has sold out its users to ICE, and both train AI on your data.
Palantir will profile you and we will be living in a hellscape if it's left unchecked.

Fucking never. Never ever. I'd sooner cut myself off from all technology and live in the woods than willingly give those creepy fucks my middle goddamn name. There is absolutely nothing good that will come from this company. The people at that company literally fucking movie villains. It's fucking crazy that absolutely anyone works with them, let alone world governments.
These large scale surveillance companies like Palantir, like Flock, they shouldn't exist. They should be outlawed. Our government needs probable cause and a warrant to surveil a suspect. If a normal civilian followed you around and filmed you, kept track of you at all times, they'd be arrested for stalking. But for some reason private companies can just watch every man, woman, and child in public and online, catalog all our movements, where we went, how we went there, who was with us, track what we do, what we read, who we know, how we spend our time, what we say, etc., and then permanently log all of that, use it to form dociers on us, predict our behaviors, or desires, ways to manipulate us, and then turn around and sell that data to governments, other companies and private parties. How the fuck is that legal.
Why in the fuck would you ever allow a private, profit-driven company to have that kind of power over your nation, let alone reward it with federal dollars, long term contracts and access to our law enforcement and military data and systems?
Worse, the founders and CEO are unhinged wannabe dictators trying to form their own sovereign techno-states. They're not even secretive about that. And our goverment is fucking funding these nuts and giving them every detail of the lives of our citizenry, our goverment officials, our military... how fucking stupid do we have to be, guys? I wish I could say it's just Trump but it's not. It's mind boggling.

If people cared about "the children" they wouldn't let them on the Internet until they were 21.
If people cared about humanity they wouldn't allow "the algorithms" to exist or let social media or news media exist they way it does now.
oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 53 pts · 182d
I don’t think that’s the solution though, kids (including teens to some extent) can be on the internet but it requires better parenting. It’s better to monitor what they are doing online until they are like 15 or 16, maybe 17 if you have a really good reason too. Limit screen time, be around to answer questions your kid has about what they might see.
Little kids though? Absolutely should be off the internet. Anyone under 10 shouldn’t be on the internet period in my opinion. 10-12 is kinda a gray zone to me where it’s definitely up to the parents and if they think their child is ready.
oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 28 pts · 182d
Also since they weren’t allowed on the internet till they were 21, those 21 year olds won’t know how to act on the internet. So now there’s 21 year olds roaming around who will need to figure all that shit out. They might get other aspects of being an adult but the internet will be completely alien.
It’s like when I saw people saying kids shouldn’t be allowed into the grocery store because someone was annoyed that kids didn’t know how to behave there yet. You just create a new and larger problem where adults don’t know how to act.
partofthevoice@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 182d
The internet has been out for less time than some people have been alive. Are we sure we, as a species, know how to be an adult on the internet yet?

Free speech has been out for as long as humanity has existed, and every attempt at limiting it has ended badly.
partofthevoice@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 182d
Not really. Free speech is a cultural construct. It doesn’t exist without a huge swath of pre-agreed norms regarding rights, speech, freedom, … I’ll have you know, there are modern philosophers who argue against human rights. They would say human rights language pretends to be objective and universal, but it floats without a metaphysical anchor (unlike in the past) and in practice they only exist if a sovereign power recognizes them.

My nephew has a new baby. Her parents are constantly waving their phones in her face; sending pics back and forth; generally doing 'millenial things' with their phones when not actively attending the baby. Then proceed to get all freaked out when the baby expresses interest or curiosity in the phone.
Kids mimic their parents behavior and interests. If you want kids with healthy internet use, you have to have parents model healthy internet use.
Akh@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 182d
It is far more complicated. The brain develops slowly while social media provides constant dopamine hits leading to doom scrolling and the part of the brain that is tasked with hitting the brakes is just not there
oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 182d
Yes social media is a problem, however that alone does not justify banning everyone under 21 from using the entire internet. As the person who I replied to said they wanted.
Social media is its own problem that’s needs regulations to come under control.

People 18 and over are adults. I know the US somehow forbids adults from drinking but I don't think more countries should dilute people's rights.
Virtvirt588@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 181d
Even if op's case was satirical, it is quite ageist honestly. It is the difference between freedom and submission. Such outdated statements about increasing the common age is just a fascist disguise - minors which includes teens have less and less rights just because the belief that children shall be protected by bans is acceptable.
Virtvirt588@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 181d
Yeah, that's only for the people that think they care, but are actually ageist and discriminate.
Protecting children comes in hand with protecting humanity. The sole existence of predatory algorithms, and other shit makes age meaningless.
Imaginary_Stand4909@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 181d
That mentality is why teenage pregnancies happen. "Oh, just don't do it kids! Sex is bad! Sex is only for adults!"
Schools and parent HAVE to do a better job about teaching kids how to actually be safe on the internet and how to interact with content on the internet. Keeping children uneducated only makes uneducated adults.
Plus there are so many children who need the internet for both learning purposes, and safety purposes. And also how the fuck would 18-20 year olds be able to do daily life things like have a job, have a bank account, and access government services without the internet.
Keep people educated, stop hiding them from uncomfortable and "dangerous" topics. Silence and ignorance is what governments and companies want.
We have kids protesting ICE on Roblox. Gen Z rebeled in Nepal with social media. Young people deserve freedom too.

You could piss off the admins big time and they'll ban and suspend all your accounts using advanced methods to connect them across different emails or even if you signed up anonymously, and not a single thing you ever wrote on there will ever be visible to the world again. Ask me how I know.
turboSnail@piefed.europe.pub · 10 pts · 182d
Alternatively, sell your account to spammers, and they'll get your account banned in no time. Your comments get deleted, you'll get paid for it, and Reddit becomes worse for everyone. I see no downsides in this arrangement.

circuscritic@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 182d
There's violentmonkey scripts that overwrite and delete them, and they stay gone. I've been using one for years.
They might still be in some AI training data sets, but they're not on my profile.
The only PITA thing is that you get rate limited, so doing your initial batch of deletions could a while, then just run it semi-regularly.
db2@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 182d
I used a script too, scrubbed years of stuff. It's all back.
circuscritic@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 182d
You might have just let it run past the rate limit.
After it limits you, the script looks like it's still running, but if you hit refresh, you'll see your timed out, and nothing past when you're actually limited, got deleted. It'll be several minutes before you can start running it again.
I've done this for many hundreds of comments.
Every once in awhile, I've had a few batches of comments reappear that I can't associate with a rate limiting error, but I have yet to find comments that come back a third time.
I guess YMMV, but that's what my experience has been.
db2@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 182d
No, it was gone. The only thing that was left were relatively recent critiques I was commenting before I left. They took the time to fish my stuff out of old backups. Last I looked the critiques were there too so it wasn't just a blanket restoration either.
I'd be flattered if it weren't so fucking creepy.

How do they permaban you? By IP address? I can't see how they could verify a new user being the same person as a old one. Email address is trivial to get around too.
pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 181d
I got permabanned a while ago. In the time since, I’ve moved to a new country and gotten all new devices. Made a new account with a new email address to try to join local subs in the new area.
That account was banned a couple hours later for ban evasion. I had made zero comments or posts and hadn’t joined any of my old subs. After that, I assumed they just have an AI that auto bans a chunk of new accounts “just in case”, because I genuinely have no idea what they could have done to connect the two accounts to each other.

I was just permabanned on 3 accounts for anti-ice/trump/pedo comments. 2 existing accounts were 10 years old. One was pretty much just for NSFW/NSFL stuff and I rarely commented on anything with.
One new one I made afterwards was permabanned within 5 hours for ban evasion.
Somehow I forgot I’d made one with “sign in with Apple” a while back and it was on my iPad. That account still works fine.
It’s weird.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 180d
All of my accounts got permabanned on Reddit for calling someone "A piece of fucking human garbage" for saying that only vulnerable and old people died from Covid and how Covid wasn't a big deal. I lost friends in their 20s to it.
Apparently what I said was inciting hatred and violence. But saying a deadly pandemic that killed millions "wasn't a big deal", and "Your friends were probably going to die anyway" is perfectly okay to Reddit Admins.
Safetyshaft@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 180d
Sorry if you did end up reading the comment I deleted. I misread your comment and thought you were denying COVID. I’m over here flighting off the flu (even though I got flu shot) and not thinking clearly.
I once got a sub ban for speaking the truth about Lauren Bobert. Called her a “dumb cunt”, which is 100% true.
Permabanned from the sub.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 180d
All good. Thanks for the correction I appreciate it. Yeah I was defending people who died and buddy was saying that only vulnerable or old people were dying so it's "not a big deal".
I knew people who died who were healthy and young. The entire idea that anyone dying from a global pandemic is "not a big deal, they would die anyway" can eat the biggest bag of dicks.

Yeah, or even maybe something more... Decisive...

Those are weird places to mine data... are they specifically targeting young people?

Normalise it while they're young, so they fight it less when they grow up

Once governments realise it exists, they will look to start blocking it.

I gotta say, a lot of the compulsion seems to be around "adult content" which is fairly easy to avoid in most cases.
I would be more interested in how these rules tend to target LGBTQ+ groups for censorship than how they slap a "teenagers" tag on anyone who isn't feeding them biometric data. This feels like another edition of "straight is normal, gay is sex" Christian orthodoxy being codified into the digital landscape.

This compels me to learn deepfakes, which seems not too hard as long as you have sufficient hardware... Or if not then those Death Stranding like methods might still work :AyameHmm:

It's quite doable. If you have pretty much any not-prehistoric GPU, you can run quantized Z-Image turbo. If it's a not-ancient Nvidia GPU, you can run a 4-bit SVDquant version extremely quickly.
There may even be versions runnable on Intel IGPs or beefy CPUs these days, though I have not personally investigated this.
Or you can just use the Artbot through the AI Horde for a deepfake, with no corporate servers involved. It's crowdsourced inference, basically the equivalent of the Fediverse.

I tried convincing my friends to leave discord, and only 2 people attempted, but I kind of fucked up by enabling message encryption.
But now that this bullshit is here, I wonder if I should try again? I might go the VPS route and call it a day, but I really want to have it locally hosted so I don't have yet another thing to pay monthly.

They are trying to make it seem like they care about kids at the same time they released the Epstein files... While Trump is lying saying he is not guilty / not in them. They are trying to rile up their base even more and encite violence towards their political enemies. People have been calling for violence on Twitter and ramping it up. I am sick of leftist platforms censoring so much because its very scary.

Complete anecdote, but without exception, every non-corporate Discord community I am a member of is evaluating something like Zulip or Element right now with the majority of the users ready to jump ship.

They seem pretty reticent about pursuing white collar crimes, particularly when they intersect with sex trafficking of under-aged girls.
There's going to be many pictures of Sam Bridges in the Palantir biometrics catalog.
