“Getting the deepfakes removed is only the beginning of regaining control,” she said. “Work doesn’t stop when the report is made. Allowing women the space to process what happened and to speak freely is just as, if not more, important.”
Women suffer most from deepfake abuses, and as cases rise, victims need better ways to regain control
Being deepfaked can feel like sexual assault, stripping victims of control, identity, and dignity. With the rise of AI-generated content, experts tell CNA Women that digital sexual violence against wo...

So Rushdie's Satanic Verses wasn't technically banned in India, only its import was. But because Penguin India refused to print it, it was defacto banned. Which, ironically, was why you could always pick up a pirated edition at, say, Hyderabad's Sunday book bazaar at Abids.
But now there's a twist.

“Sometimes the world reads like a Salman Rushdie novel. The fact that a ban [on the Satanic Verses] is reversed because they couldn’t find the original document banning it — it’s beautiful.”

Bad that the president is turning the White House into a personal palace while keeping the government closed so that he can deny people healthcare and take away SNAP. He's doing this while his administration serves as a jobs program for goons and criminals, and the military kills civilians for him

This is Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and architect of the Holocaust. That symbol on his cap is the totenkopf. This isn't just a nazi symbol, it was the symbol of SS guards who mass murdered millions.
Just to be clear, no one who gets this as a tattoo should ever be elected.

Don’t forget that this desecration is happening with funding from OpenAI, Google and other tech giants.
According to US historical architects & other experts in historical buildings, damages done to the WH's East Wing are now irreversible. They are requesting to put a stop to it & recommand consultations, before starting the construction of Dump's "bribe room". No plans have yet be submitted.
