WhatsApp Is Walking a Tightrope Between AI Features and Privacy | WIRED

"I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS
I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.
I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

YouTube quietly removed “gender identity” from its hate speech policy, @taylorlorenz.bsky.social reports. This is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety and content moderation — and will harm creators and users alike.

Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

STFUF 👏- the police and ICE are already surveilling and collecting large amounts of data on everyone.
Don’t help them.

Attorneys can argue better. Don’t talk to cops. Everyday is Shut The Fuck Up Friday.

It is not normal for civil rights to be revoked in response to protest. Mahmoud Khalil is the definition of a political prisoner. Also, his wife is 8 months pregnant, and it would be great if she didn't have to give birth without him.

Today, people will demonstrate in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist at Columbia University. DHS has kidnapped him and revoked his green card.
Some demonstrators will be distributing this flier. You can print out copies here yourself:

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for.
And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel.
I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.
