I remember the reaction when they did it to Taylor Swift and thinking - this is the most famous and powerful woman in the world with an army of lawyers. What happens when you're not her and it's done to you? What power do you have? None. Because they won't stop.

6) Regulation of social media is *hard*, but we're reaching a position where it is necessary.
7) The 'new' model of this regulation (as in the Digital Services Act in the EU, and the Online Safety Acts in the UK and Australia) relies on honest and cooperative platforms. It is unlikely to work.

In Korea, the creation and/or distribution of nonconsensual sexual deepfakes carries mandatory prison time, up to 7 years per image.
Please, someone convince Elon to set foot here for just one second. If he's held accountable for all Grok images posted while he's here, he'll never be able to leave.

Husband back at office for the first time this year and it meant this evening the bedroom was deliciously cold and in the warm bed I drifted away for an hour and would have slept all night had he not woken me coming home. Love cold bedrooms🥰

This isn’t just Apple’s responsibility basically any country on earth could put pressure on them. They have a pedophile robot. Every nation on earth is complicit at this point. Nobody wants to do anything.

Politics is about how we want to organise our world.
How on earth are topics like whether or not we should have Party loyal warbands roaming the country with weapons and harassing the public NOT political?
They're so concerned with Party Politics, they're abandoning their humanity.

Wow. A labour politician not liking m replies she receives turns them off, doubles down and removes quote option. Showing how absolutely not to listen to the populace and that the thin skinned inciting and divide feeling lives in many camps.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social We are rejecting the evidence of eyes and ears - there is no way any British media or politician can maintain presence on X with it creating pornographic images without consent of women and children

The USA is scarier than the U.K. to me right now, and that isn’t a dunk or a brag. It’s a warning sign, a great big glaring red flag that we in the U.K. need to change direction before we follow them back down that path that we’ve only recently left.

Warning - my posts will be even less literate than usual today. Very tired combined with significant executive dysfunction and compromised vision don't make for clarity.

I am staggered how some callers to @lbc are justifying the shooting. I think to these people if a brown person had been in the same position as the ice agent the killing would be seen very differently .

💯 Mesmerized by this elegant Viking Sun Chariot made in the Early Bronze Age around 1400 BC (!).
It was found in 1902 when the former bog Trundholm Mose in northwestern Zealand in Denmark was ploughed for the first time.

Shocking night, only 4 hrs, but full of night terrors based on world events.
And a very disturbing nightmare where I was dating musk . Not violent but at least as bad as the violent ones last night.
Dogtor stayed glued to me all night and woke me up twice .
