Yes, but the perp showed the images to a minor.

You consider it a heinous crime to draw a picture and keep it to yourself?

Uh… I’ll try.

Society can’t be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

No.

If we could implement maturity and so on, ease of access to the tools would be a non-issue. And the tools would be as legal as crayons or pencils, and the “material” as legal as any cartoon. But I agree with you that this is a super real practical problem, because we can’t.

We really don’t have any solution to this yet.

We do, and always have, but good luck with implementation. Humanity hates acting like an adult.

1. Critical thinking: society knows to a certainty deepfakes exist and hence should be intrinsically skeptical of any image they see, demanding the image’s source establish some reason to trust the image. We could be less blindly trusting.
2. Body acceptance: for 0 seconds of humanity’s history has it made credible sense to shame someone over having seen them naked. We could choose not to.
3. Competence: Appeasing these people only encourages them. If people would just understand that giving your blackmailer what they want is always strictly worse than not doing so, it would remove the incentive to blackmail. Why would you trust your blackmailer to keep your secret? Makes no sense.

This thread is a garbage fire - a bunch of people who didn’t look anything up (or if they did, they cite no sources, so there’s no evidence they did) spouting a bunch of mutually contradictory shit, all of it upvoted. I will never understand why anyone engages with Lemmy this way.

Here is the list of US charges against Assange, from the actual paperwork charging him.

As you can see here, each of the first 17 charges has a maximum penalty of 10 years (not including fines).

Charge 18 is messier. Under USC 371 the max is 5 years. I believe USC 1030 is also capped at 5 years.

So roughly a 175 year sentence, at cap.

There was no security breach. Did you even read the summary, let alone the article? There wasn’t even an attempted breach.

Yes, but also no - and be careful, you’re asking this around people who absolutely do hold manufacturers morally responsible for what people do with products bought from them. See e.g. any discussion of gun control on here.

If you want to draw an analogy between traffic and the internet, the ISP is your provider of roads; your PC+router+modem is your car. So this is much, much closer to suing the state for building and maintaining the road the getaway car used.

Also, there’s no cleanly analogous crime - “getaway car” sounds like a comparison to robbery, but no-one here was robbed. Sony’s argument for damages would have been based on theoretical sales it didn’t make, arguing that its government-issued monopoly on its IP automatically implies anyone pirating content would have paid them for it.

So here’s an even closer analogy: you sell marijuana in a state with a fixed number of dispensary licenses, and you are the only person in your neighborhood with a license. You set up shop. Someone else shows up in a van and gives away pot for free; your sales go down. You sue the state for providing the road the van used to do this.

It’s 4chan. It’s been the worst place on the internet for decades. It just can’t be topped.

Did you report the CP to the police?

Why are there so many news articles that don’t understand the basic grammar of the word “from”? This article should have started with the word “starting”, although “as of” would also be acceptable.

Didn’t he win the vote? Trump lost the vote. He won the election because the American system is designed to sometimes hand victory to the loser - Trump was the 5th or 6th example to date.

I am very skeptical that’s even what happened, but I can’t find any articles frankly explaining what happened. For one thing, three board members were replaced. How? I mean that very literally. If the three who left simply resigned, some mechanism must have been employed to select and empower the replacements. And yet the article I just linked doesn’t explain the machanism in any way.

The article I linked makes it clear at least one of the three, Sutskever, didn’t sinply resign. He was removed. How was he removed? It is a mystery.

All I want is for someone to lay out what happened. I doubt I will get what I want.

Those investors are morons if they think they’re entitled to an opinion. OpenAI already has their money.

What were the customers expecting when they paid for health insurance?

Did he not watch the latest season? Fuck, one episode was literally devoid of scifi entirely. Latest season only had one good ep in it.

Armored bulldozers with grenade launchers have seen much use in Israel, but I don’t know of any other comparable examples.

Well, I’ll be getting $0 since I just heard about this. Guess they couldn’t be bothered reaching out to Facebook users.
