海外でも利用されているクリスタで、昨日から一部のポーズ・パターン素材などが大量に非公開・削除対応され、波紋が広がっています。直近で特にガイドライン自体の変更があったわけでもなく、周知期間を取らなかった（取れなかった？）ことなどからクレジットカード会社をはじめとして金融的検閲の可能性も。

Holy shit... what the fuck is going on?

@Hotcheesecakes Discord is Israeli spyware.

Discord’s core architecture is built around centralized data collection, permanent message logging, and linking accounts to real-world identities.

They also have an AI scan through ALL of your personal, private messages btw.

"Laws requiring age assurance are expanding all over the world."

Keep in mind our dumbass governments who refuse to listen to the public did this.

We never agreed or voted that. WE DID NOT WANT THAT.

The moment I see that confirm your age pop up on my Discord, this app will be immediately uninstalled.

If you think age verification is what is needed to prevent your kids from being traumatized you might just be a really REALLY shitty and neglectful parent.

This is legitimately what happened in the UK btw like we literally saw it unfold using this EXACT method

Google has been fined €403 million over the way it handled people’s location data.

The case is about how Google collected and used location information through services like Location History and Web & App Activity.

The investigation found problems with how users were informed about their data and how long it was kept.

Google says it has made changes to its privacy settings and given users more control over their location data.

Your location is personal information, so companies should be clear about what they collect and how they use it.

@ChibiReviews Sexism and double standards!

If Rudeus was a female character there would be no controversy around the series

In fact it would be hailed as the best anime to ever exist by the same people that call it a pedo anime

Why do you think that is?

当店も定期的に「謎の大量注文」が来ます。最初は相当に疑いながら、「1000冊まで」いう条件で海外発送してました。誤差1円も無しで1000万以上の売上となります。なタ書程度の個人店でしたら、一ヶ月で一億以上とか容易に可能ですので問題ないのですが、視野を拡げたらどうなるかは全く分かりません。

Discord rolls out age-verification "lite" that sorts people into age groups automatically, no ID required
-----

This is incrementalism.

They've seen too much resistance to age verification that requires an ID, so they need to take a smaller step people won't reject.

That smaller step is to roll out age verification that doesn't require ID (in this case for 90% of users).

If we accept this, they will have established that they can age-categorize the internet.

Apps like Discord are rolling it out as a test right now; if it works, legislation will follow.

The app enables age-categorization of the internet; the legislation codifies the government's authority to require it.

Once they have the authority to age-categorize the internet codified into law, they are that much closer to an ID-based age-gating/verification system that they will push for next.

Or, another incremental strategy is to make it so that 90% of users don't need an ID right now, then move it to 89%, then to 88%, and so on.

This would reduce the number of affected users, so unaffected users are less likely to leave the service in solidarity with those who are affected, ultimately reducing the backlash of rolling out age verification.

Either way, we're that much closer to having to use an ID to get online.

So basically if you're an adult and can't "prove" your age on Discord you will just end up with minors anyway ummmm what the fuck is this shit and hows it exactly gonna work out like that?

🇯🇵 An amazing conversation I had with a leftist Asian-American girl at a bar in Yokohama the other day:

Her: But Japan is pretty racist.
Me: Compared to where?
Her: I went to China and they weren't racist.
Me: Well, because you're Chinese-American, right?
Her: That's not the point.

The leftist mind is truly a marvelous thing.

日本古書が海外へ大量流出。AI企業によるものかは確認する術はありませんが、アンソロピックのプロジェクト・パナマなどAI企業が学習目的のために古書や絶版本を膨大な量購入し、裁断した残骸を廃棄していることは彼らにとっても後ろめたいことのようですが、米国の裁判所ではフェアユースとして認められておりむしろ加速しています。
ネット上には存在しない先人の著作が海外企業の商材・財産の一部となり失われていくことには複雑な思いもあります。少なくとも、どれ位の規模、どういった会社が行なっているのか等一定の透明性は必要では無いでしょうか。
