Good. I also read a bit more into it and while I’m not located in the UK apparently there is a specific extension to the law that also includes drawings and “collage” type edits. It doesn’t mention AI yet but surely this should count.
RIP my search history. But I’m glad we don’t need to wait for the law to catch up (in some places). Now all we have to do is scream from the rooftops that the laws need to be applied. Or even better: sue someone.
The thing is though… is it actually CSM according to the law if there is no real child involved along the way? At least some countries might need a law change first before tackling this.
Edit: I checked the local law where I’m located and it’s “images or videos depicting a minor during a sexual act”. I’d argue these AI generated images aren’t of minors because they don’t exist. We probably need new laws first unless it’s provable that the images represent a specific real life minor.
The combination of shadow banning on Reddit and the Reddit right wing platform wide rule enforcement shift that happened about a year and a bit ago.
They already made a bunch of decisions earlier that I also really disagreed with, but at some point it was just too much. I still miss the super niche crafting communities. There aren’t enough crafters on Lemmy to go full niche like that, even if I made them myself.
Interesting. I deleted my account fully about 2 years ago at this point. I wonder if they still had enough of my data around to be in the breach
