Government-mandated internet restrictions only make our online lives more dangerous.
The Pornhub Bans Are Not About Keeping Kids Safe
The age-verification laws that prompted Pornhub blockades are part of a movement seeking to return to a time when obscenity laws were thinly veiled curbs on LGBTQ+ rights.

I made a new starter pack for Toronto full service workers. Let me know if you'd like to be added (or removed!) and I'll add as many as I can. I likely missed a lot of people so feel free to suggest folks as well. 😊

GenAI citations (fabricated or not):

-Built on stolen work
-Obliterate human authors/efforts
-Reproduce sameness, exclude difference
-Antithetical to citational justice

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
Hootsuite CEO says ICE contract will stand as long as agency honours terms and conditions

Centered on the experience of a South Carolina woman whose image was ‘undressed,’ xAI faces a new class action lawsuit over Grok generating non-consensual sexual images and publishing them to X. Among its claims, the suit alleges the company abandoned industry safety standards.

New from 404 Media: an app that is supposed to help people quit porn is leaking users' masturbation habits. Incredibly sensitive stuff. “I just can't do this man I honestly don't know what to do know more, such a loser, I need serious help,” one user wrote.

App for Quitting Porn Leaked Users' Masturbation Habits
Hundreds of thousands of users told the app intimate details about their sexual urges, which are now exposed.

I reached out to the sponsors of the Take It Down Act and the Kids Online Safety Act, all of whom maintain a daily active presence on X. I noticed that most of them continue to post on X officially despite getting little to no engagement on their posts.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

twitter was always exactly this. what we're seeing this week is a culmination of years and years of abuse run rampant on the platform, supercharged by a megalomaniac's greed and fantasy www.404media.co/grok-ai-sexu...
Grok's AI Sexual Abuse Didn't Come Out of Nowhere
With xAI's Grok generating endless semi-nude images of women and girls without their contest, it follows a years-long legacy of rampant abuse on the platform.

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.
