If they invented a powersource capable of generating enough energy for all human needs... I have a feeling it would be used to power datacenters instead.

And the right will use this media frenzy to further their anti-immigrant agendas.

What they did in the US is highlight criminals, then use that confusion and outrage to allow them to target all immigrants. So be really careful how you respond to what is being pushed to you about this. If your gut is telling you it doesn't sound right, or it doesn't align with your direct experience, be very careful you are not being used to condemn.

BBC be like "Being blackmailed by a pedophile isn't a sign of wrongdoing"

And if they weren't a victim their faces wouldn't be hidden. Having your arms around a victim in your lap "isn't evidence of wrongdoing"?? Wow and just like that, "fact checking" is back in style.

There is no indication of wrongdoing from the files. The BBC has contacted Ratner's representative for comment.

Really? Why can't we see the faces of these "women" then? Isn't the point of blocking their faces to hide the identity of VICTIMS?

All I'm looking for in life is a little peace to mind

If this means the device is usuable and reasonably secure for 5 years, this is fine.

It precisely means that is not going to be the case.

Shit like this makes me want to move to freezing Minnesota. A generation that actually gets it, and not without good reason. ✊

Again proving they are not after "paid agitators", but people exercising free speech.

I agree. And you know what, Facebook's sponsored algorithm makes more Nazis than Nazis alone. What we need is to be able to subscribe to community notes and misinformation alerts from trusted sources. There is room for everyone, even the fucking Nazis. We just need block lists etc. And before someone cries echo chamber, you know it's kind of up to you to monitor your "trusted" sources over time. Things change and being informed is being informed. Apolitical people or people too thick for ethical decisions just don't need an algorithm pushing political propaganda to their feed every moment of every day.
