World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The risk of a Streisand effect here is pretty high. Hope she's thought it through.
Regrettably, were going to see more and more apps and websites that just automate this kind of abuse.
It'll be sold as a new way to watch porn. Just upload a few pics of your crush and check the boxes for which acts you want to see, and boom, you're downloading it.
It's gonna be a wild ride for a while, no pun intended.
Yeah it's pretty messed up, not fair for anyone to experience this whether it's Taylor Swift or this conservative PM.
Fixed that for you. It's important not to normalize fascism by pretending that it's just your usual possibly somewhat benign conservatism.
Alright. Where do you want to draw the line? At the automation? How do you put that into legislation that wouldn't also ban manual editing methods? What if someone just face swapped & edited every single frame manually? Would even provide a much better result than those "AI" algorithms.
This is just media hysteria.
The historical difficulty is enforceability. That made the usual line "no making money on your creepy idiocy", because once money is involved there are levers of enforcement. Advertising support is one form of making money
One difference is that manual editing methods take some amount of skill and time.
Automated removes that barrier and makes it possible for people to make hundreds/millions of images in little time, in bulk and with no effort or skill.
Manual will be more limited in its abundance (and presumably spread) due to those limits.
The difference is kinda the same. You could've paid someone to photoshop shit too, now you pay for some dubious "AI" services instead of setting them up yourself, which is a major difference in difficulty and would quickly take away the illusion of the whole "AI" magic.
Either way, I don't really care. Let them do it. As long as they don't use it to make money or for things like blackmail or harassment it should be up to them what they jerk off to. I doubt the fascist melon experienced much if any actual damage from that. She literally did not give a shit about the depictions of her as a fascist but somehow some bad deepfake porn videos are crossing the line. Yeah... Right...
