I wanted to see one of these awful videos for myself, so I went to Google and started typing “Facebook baby in oven” when Google suggested to add “how long” 😂
Google, 30 minutes later: “Wait, you meant baby potatoes, right? RIGHT?”
Make the next video include Donald Trump as the abuser and his own children’s faces as the babies.
Watch how fast that shit gets taken down.
you know how to make them care?
start generating AI videos of rich people roasting in ovens.
“Kinky.”
I’ve already moved off it, Mastodon is a much nicer feel. In fact I try not to use anything Meta including WhatsApp.
I’m trying to cure my immediate peer group by introducing and promoting Signal over Whatsapp. It’s an uphill battle.
how do i promote Signal for a family group without looking like an stupid AD? i hate whatsapp.
My family group decided to move when I spat the dummy after Meta decided to harvest all the contacts for WhatsApp users. Effectively they are the only ones I use messaging with but for getting others on is a long road.
don’t forget threads either. it was ripped entirely off of mastodon.
Always have laughed at Zuck’s claim that Threads had such a large user base just after the launch. By all accounts , anyone with a Meta account became a Threads user.
Nor they care about Brazil, all left-wing accounts getting banned or suspended.
They only care about engagement and growth. Damage to our social fabric, psychological disruption, hardening of positions, suppression of critical thought, encouraging anger … Fuck it!
Really? I’ve reported literal attempts to encourage violence against people, and its NEVER against community standards
Hence why in Australia, going to be super happy if the law passes to allow us to forcefully only show things we’re subscribed to.
There’s going to be so many right wing ragebaiters getting upset
“Meta Is Refusing to Remove AI-Generated Facebook Videos of Graphic Child Abuse, Including a Baby Roasting in an Oven”
The future fucking sucks.
If its any consolation, the past sucked too 🤔
everything sucks.
except for every girlfriend I’ve ever had.
This is the present. The Future will be even worse.
Only if we all believe that - we can work together to create a beautiful future
Yeah, I used to be an optimist.
Yeah, I used to be a pessimist! Have you heard of the Georgia Guidestones? It doesn’t do any good to give into fear, stay informed but protect your energy. We must resist evil!
I identify as a cynic, which I define as: a disappointed optimist.
Let me see if I have my pedo-billionaire glasses tinted correctly:
School shootings are caused by violent video games, teenage depression, and propping doors open. But promoting Nazi-fascist ideology while posting videos that dehumanize others? All good!
Fascist ideology is specifically about dehumanizing others. Its premise is that some humans are persons while others are not.
Its actual premise is that no humans are persons but property is, specifically huge amounts of capital.
But they don’t say it that way, lest their alt-right warboys realize how expendable they are.
Well of.course not! They’re too busy fighting Radical Leftism.
Facebook never cared about actual child abuse and sexual exploitation. why the hell would you expect them to give a fuck about AI generated child abuse.
Name all the ai children Zuckerberg and they’ll start caring.
Obviously this is true when Epstein’s client list couped the government.
Everyone is fine with it
People who use facebook are fucking nuts…
Or, old. I was saved because I chose a small Friendster clone to make my profile and then MySpace became popular and I was too lazy to build it anew. Also Facebook profiles are closed to non-members.
Also Facebook insists on real names and I was raised in the belief an online handle and a meatspace identity are kept separate, and never the twain shall meet.
It means I also dodged the social network game craze. I never clicked a cow or farmed a ville.
However, so many of my peers have Facebook accounts, and may have had to share their Facebook passwords with bosses who didn’t trust them.
I’m going to agree but also point out that this notion that Facebook is somehow the coalescence point for the world’s jackasses is totally delusional.
The world is filled with morons, spend 5 minutes on any platform and you’ll see that.
There is nothing special about the younger generation and the apps they use, they are just as fucking ignorant as the Facebook users. I mean really, spend a few minutes on any social media app and you are bombarded by the pointless thoughts of every jackass who’s ever felt they had some magic idea they just need to share.
Is a video of a baby roasting in an oven even illegal? In general, are videos of violent crime illegal?
This. People reaaaaally don’t like that point, but video/fictional stuff should not be held to the same standard as actual, living people. Otherwise, we can kiss goodbye to 90% of the entertainment business. Movies, books, video games, pictures, all of those should be allowed to depict stuff, if only to criticize it.
Unfortunately, too many people think that if they don’t want to see something, no media of it should exist.
It would be very different if actual people were used, or even just their likeness, because then it actually can cause harm and distress. But this? People wasting their time defending pixels are doing only one thing: not defending actual people.
I don’t think that was the point of the comment you replied to.
The point is that even if it was a real video, it’s not illegal. Just like a video of 9/11 is not a terrorist attack nor is it illegal, it’s just a video of one.
the video of the Christchurch mosque shootings is illegal in NZ and Australia.
A cartoon of Bart and Lisa having sex is classified as child pornography in Australia.
and a zillion other examples
And now we are back on topic!
Like your examples show, some videos of crime are in fact illegal in some places. It is however the videos themselves that are illegal, for any reason, not due to the mere fact that they depict crime.
The Christchurch shooting is a good example, the video had to be banned on its own, showing how such videos are not normally illegal. It had to be banned specifically.
Amen.
Try to make a video of Zuckerberg roasting and see how fast it will be taken down. Double standards much?
That would honestly be hilarious. Would he be trussed and basted?
I’ve never mastered Blender to a degree where I would be able to produce such a video.
Despite my wording it doesn’t mean that you specifically should to produce such a video, it was more of a thought experiment. My take is that if such video were produced and published on any of Meta’s platforms it would remain very little time online, unlike the mentioned roasted baby video FTA.
No but it’s probably against their ToS so I don’t know why an AI generated gore video gets a pass.
The only footage that’s illegal from what I understand are sexual assault videos (including obviously csam) and snuff films (which are different because they are specifically made for distribution and generating revenue compared to “accidental” gore films)
Depends where you are as well and this is mostly from memory.
Legality (or religion etc etc) doesn’t guide my morality, decency, or basic difference between right and wrong.
What does guide your morality? I personally like the idea of virtue ethics, but so far I haven’t had time to properly familiarize myself with the concept. My understanding is that a virtue is a character trait that promotes human flourishing, and actions are good if they align virtues.
i think the point isn’t that they should have to take it down but that they should take it down. not taking it down is a choice.
What? How? I mean… there are quite a lot of violent and graphic movies out there. So this should not be illegal. However, it has to be made sure that those videos cannot be seen by non-adults.
children watched beheading videos all the time and tutned out fine, why would this slop be any different?
Well, I know what you are trying to say, you just put it in a very extreme way. This is like saying that there are smokers who are 90yo, so it must be not affecting your health. A skewed view, because you don’t see the affected people, because they are six feet under. Same with traumatized people, who choose suicide because of all their experiences.
A bit of survivorship bias never hurt anyone that survived
Oh right, that was the term. Thanks for reminding me 😄
hint: is the baby roasting in oven video accompanied by a hasbara/description of “this is what hamas/palestinians do to Israeli babies”?
That would explain a lot.
