PvP has broken the seal on blaming Trump for poorly received media. I am HERE for how stupid this trend can get. I want you to know that any posts of mine you didn’t like are a product of that time.
Meanwhile, I plan to return to PvP (starting today). And since I miss them dearly, I'm going to be returning to "Classic PvP" prior to our recent time jump forward. The time jump was something I did to escape the terrifying reality of the Trump era and the beginning of the pandemic. But I'm feeling more hopeful about things now. I dunno, maybe I just need these guys back in my corner again. Writing and drawing them is a comfort to me (and hopefully, reading them is a comfort to you).

Yes it was scary when Trump was president because of his terrible policy of _______, as opposed to this more hopeful time of Biden's _______ policy

Facebook has launched a new platform that asks people to submit their nude photographs and videos to prevent them from being posted as “revenge porn” on Facebook and Instagram.

I heard about this in 2018, I'm not sure if anything actually happened since then or people just re-discovered it now

So, in order for Facebook to not share stolen nudes and the like, they have to know what that content is. They’re probably not storing the actual content, they’re probably storing a hash and enough data points that AI analysis can identify the images if they’re uploaded again.

There’s a database of hashes of well known child exploitation imagery that they’ll intercept and prevent from transmitting on their network. This is likely intended to be an extension of that.

Facebook desevers quite a lot of suspicion and scorn. This is probably not a cause for either.

i remember when a reverse image search engine got taken down because the canadian police kept uploading child pornography to it then sending in complaints that they'd detected illegal imagery (their own child pornography) on the website's servers

What did I miss, did someone debunk volume 1 of the Mueller report when I wasn't looking? The part that details Russian social media campaigns and hacking operations?

Serious question, do you really think that a 100k spent on Facebook really swung the election?

I think the hacking probably had a greater impact, and that the impact was probably not zero, and that the race in a few key states was very close. I'd put the odds at maybe like, 10% that it swung the election? I'm not really that well calibrated but I do think it clears the bar of "may well have played a role".
