Multiple former employees expressed concern that Gaynor was even operating in this capacity — that it was weird for a man to be writing a story about a mother and daughter, particularly a man that has allegedly demeaned several female employees.

 :whatisthis

in the same way that it's problematic for a white guy to voice an indian character, or for a non-trans person to act in a movie as a trans person

authors should not be permitted to write characters outside their race or gender, you cannot speak for them, stay in your lane

Quote from: Krejlooc
Man the DC port of Marvel vs Capcom is incredible. I remember the day I got it, it was right before Christmas 1999. My mom came home from walmart, she said she had gone to pick my grandpa up a present, and came back with this for me as a surprise. I have no idea how she knew I wanted this game -- I wasn't into comics and, while I was a huge fighting game fan, I didn't play MvC exclusively or anything in the arcades. Plus it was right before Christmas.

Whatever the reason, what a stellar port. It was like having the arcade machine right at home.

Comes off as kind of tone-deaf given the subject and replies.
Krejlooc has seemingly stories for every occasion.  :woody

That Polygon article on Fullbright is fucking awful.

What are these women even complaining about? Stop using these buzzwords, they're literally meaningless. "We deserve respect." for what? Doing your freaking job?

One of their workers pretty much calls the guy a sexual predator without anything to back it up. Are these the good guys/galls I'm supposed to be rooting for?

Your company as a whole sounds absolutely awful. Good job.

I can believe that he has a terrible management style that drives people away

I can also believe that the kind of company that makes Gone Home might seek out fragile hires who can't take the slightest criticism




the main thing is, don't get attached to "one of the good ones" because as usual literally everything is problematic, you just don't know it yet

Historians need to coin a snappy name for the coup attempt.  Calling it the capitol riot is not catchy enough and doesn’t describe the importance of the event. I’m thinking of something like the beer hall putsch, but I’m not a copyrighter so I can’t think of anything any good

Quote from: Deleted member 283, post: 54089989, member: 283

Nah, you don't get off that easily.



Who wrote the initial ban message?

Why? Especially when it's so clearly false? WHY IS THERE EVEN NOW ABSOLUTELY NO CLOSURE ON THAT, WHY THAT WAS EVER THE BAN MESSAGE TO BEGIN WITH (and how that can be avoided in the future)?



Who signed off on that, especially as I understand, it would have taken multiple staff members to sign off on the INITIAL ban message and say that's okay?



Why did it need to be updated in the first place?



Where in the world is the ACCOUNTABILITY for the initial clearly incorrect, made-up, nonsense reason of a ban message? What form does that accountability take, if there's any at all, and if there's not, how can we be at all confident similar situations won't happen in the future?



If it wasn't part of the initial ban reasoning, why is it now? How does it "better describe" anything when it was never part of the description to begin with until now?



Like I said, this reeks of when Amir0x tried to get away with editing his post and thought no one would catch him back on NeoGAF.



Everything about this is dishonest.



It was not part of the initial message, the reason for a ban should not be able to be retroactively changed like that.



Like "yeah, we initially banned you for THIS thing, but that was mess up, now now we're banning you for THAT OTHER THING instead."



No, no, no.



You fucked up when you didn't make that part of the initial message.



THAT was your chance to do that.



You didn't take it.



Anything else is post-hoc and disgraceful.



Like I said, actually act like adults for once and admit your mistake instead of finding ways to stay by it after the fact.



If the initial ban message was incorrect, just unban the person instead of changing it until you find something that magically fits after all.



As after all, using this logic, not saying you would, but just hypothetically speaking, you can change it as much as you want until you find something that fits. Again, not saying you would or that this or what happened here, but that's what this system allows: for you to change the ban reasoning as much as you want until you find something that just so happens to "fit."



It's a system completely devoid of ANY accountability WHATSOEVER that allows the staff to fix "mistakes" as many times as they want, as many times as it takes.



Again, not saying that's what happened here, in this particular case.



But that's what this system nonetheless allows, and why I can't be a fan of it.



It's just utterly devoid of accountability and far, far, to ripe to abuse, even if that isn't what happened here.



And that's why I bring up Amir0x: because indeed, even if this in particular isn't that type of situation, how are WE, AS NORMAL MEMBERS, supposed to be able to tell the difference between staff that are doing things legit and staff WHO ARE, IN FACT, abusing these processes to get away with something shady?



There's no way for us to know us as normal members, as in both cases, things look exactly the same to us.



The only way to avoid that abuse is to not allow in the first place, even for "legitimate" reasons.



That is to say, you fucked up with the first ban reason.

Even if the updated reason is "legit," you missed your chance to use it.



The only right thing to do at this point is a complete reversal of the ban.



Otherwise, you open the ban system up to corruption, and there will be a smokescreen that will never fade that will make it impossible to tell if ban "updates" like this are indeed legit or just post-hoc covering up fuck-ups and trying to save face.



The only right thing to do, the only way to prevent abuse and make sure trust is able to be maintained in these kind of situations among normal members, is a complete reversal of the ban and an apology and admitting of fault.



With anything else, with anything less, seeds of doubt will be sewn that will only continue to bear negative fruit and lead to nothing good.



Again, this is in the staff's hands.

As a normal member, I can't make you guys do anything.



The choice is your's.

I can only hope you make the right one, both for our sake and your own.



Just be adults and admit to fucking up instead of finding ways of desperately trying to double and triple down, as that does no one any good here.



Again, I can't make you do that.

The choice is your's.



But I don't see how anyone, normal users, staff, or flat-out anyone period benefits from trying to defend this at all at this point and it can only make things worse, for everyone.


Definitely their alt lol

Three pages in, I want to state because it's important:

There is no such thing as child porn

There is only child sexual abuse

This level of pedantry only further confuses an already confusing topic. When I say child porn, everyone knows what's being referred to -- images, either still or moving, captured during child sexual abuse. If we replace the term "child porn" with "child sexual abuse" ITT, then you've made this technology sound way more intrusive than it is. And I say this as someone with a history with this.
:pika

Of course the "independent gamedev" with the Sonic avatar is an expert on AI's scanning for CP and how to create false positives or the opposite lmao.
Yet he won't give you details about his history with this subject but keeps moaning about the definition of CP to avoid 'confusion'.

Quote from: Haze

Does… does every thread on this website tangentially tied to China dissolve into sinophobia?

What is this horrible sinophobia?

Quote from: Haze
Quote from: Drex
^ some abhorrent generalizations: "Chinese company, not unexpected" - sigh.

Yeah like what? And that’s not an uncommon sentiment in this thread.

Yeah why would people act like a company being from China makes it unsurprising that they're not super progressive about gay rig--
Quote
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the People's Republic of China face legal and social challenges that are not experienced by non-LGBT residents. According to the Constitution of China, monogamy is the only form of legal marriage in the country. Same-sex couples are unable to marry or adopt, and households headed by such couples are ineligible for the same legal protections available to heterosexual couples. No anti-discrimination protections exist for LGBT people.

On 2021, a court in Jiangsu upheld a ruling that a description of homosexuality as a mental disorder in a 2013 edition of a university textbook was a result of "perceptual differences", rather than factual error.[24] According to the South China Morning Post, the textbook is used by a number of Chinese universities.[25] In July 2021, a number of LGBT accounts run by university students on WeChat was deleted, with messages saying that the accounts "had violated regulations on the management of accounts offering public information service on the Chinese internet".[26]

Curious to see if anyone catches a ban for the horrendous Sinophobia of implying a company being from China might make it less surprising that they're bad at handling discussion around LGBT issues.

So if I got this right, it basically means:

- Apple gets hashes from governments. Apple doesn't know what those hashes are for, because obviously, they don't have access to the pictures.

- Apple looks on all iPhones for files that match those hashes, and if they find them, they will forward this to the government for criminal prosecution.


If this is true, it basically ends privacy. It's a complete surrender to governmental control. The government could give them any hashes, for example one for pictures of police abuse or leaked docs that show war crimes. And Apple would give them back a nice list of all people who have those files. This is fucking insane.

Meanwhile, governments are allowing the catholic church to investigate themselves for child abuse.

Quote
Also on the frontpage of the Financial Times now. What a dumb move by Apple. Even if they backpedal now, why should I trust them in the future regarding privacy? When they just introduce such an invasive feature without explaining it, on a whim?

Quote
Wow, so they are looking at chat content on a device, circumventing E2E encryption that way, and analyze the messages for offensive content? Even notify others about it? This will surely not be abused by authoritarian governments (for example, the next GOP government)

And saying that on-device CSAM detection is actually a privacy feature seems ridiculous. Also, nothing about how users are protected from governments manipulating the hash database.

Edit: I don't get why they are doing this. They are seriously risking one of their biggest USPs, which is privacy. I think it's very likely that there will be a backlash and now they won't be able to get out of it gracefully.

I always struggle to understand where this "sinophobia" reaction on Reeeeesetera comes from.

Is it because:
  • They hate white people and therefore all non-white people must be infallible?
  • They are anti-capitalists and therefore all (nominally) non-capitalists must be infallible?
  • They are just perpetually offended by everything and have a need to express their performative outrage about everything like the absolute fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows they are?

I don't think tumblr was specifically about cp, its new owners suddenly just said yeah we don't want it to be known for porn, and they deleted everything, so everyone left including the tumblrinas that were the proving grounds for era-style takes

I always struggle to understand where this "sinophobia" reaction on Reeeeesetera comes from.

Is it because:
  • They hate white people and therefore all non-white people must be infallible?
  • They are anti-capitalists and therefore all (nominally) non-capitalists must be infallible?
  • They are just perpetually offended by everything and have a need to express their performative outrage about everything like the absolute fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows they are?

it's because of #StopAsianHate, random hate crimes on the street similar to middle eastern hate crimes post-911, and things like the guy who killed a bunch of asian people with the excuse they were so hot they were driving him to sin

The Pornhub purge was mostly about copyrighted materials and content already caught up in pending lawsuits.
Payment providers basically forced them to verify all uploads, studios and models. It was never about a specific type of content.

Tumblr destroyed themselves it wasn't just porn that they banned or walled off but in the process a ton of other content as well.
They ruined the search to a point that you didn't even bother using it anymore and it became impossible to find new Tumblrs.

I’m pretty sure that tumblr used CP as one of the reasons why they killed porn in general (doing the minimum necessary to appease Apple). And the porn hub fiasco started because an article of New York Times (lawsuits aside, the credit card companies used it as a perfect excuse to abandon ship).

Again, you realize that a half assed implementation of this could affect a lot of people? That this happened before?

this has already been happening for years from Youtube, Google and Microsoft

 :lol

The same YouTube that got hyper strict and blamed the pedos in random videos? The same YouTube that is currently a nightmare to use for content creators for false positives in copy strikes?

lol proved my point.

So if I got this right, it basically means:

- Apple gets hashes from governments. Apple doesn't know what those hashes are for, because obviously, they don't have access to the pictures.

- Apple looks on all iPhones for files that match those hashes, and if they find them, they will forward this to the government for criminal prosecution.


If this is true, it basically ends privacy. It's a complete surrender to governmental control. The government could give them any hashes, for example one for pictures of police abuse or leaked docs that show war crimes. And Apple would give them back a nice list of all people who have those files. This is fucking insane.

Meanwhile, governments are allowing the catholic church to investigate themselves for child abuse.

Also on the frontpage of the Financial Times now. What a dumb move by Apple. Even if they backpedal now, why should I trust them in the future regarding privacy? When they just introduce such an invasive feature without explaining it, on a whim?

Quote
Wow, so they are looking at chat content on a device, circumventing E2E encryption that way, and analyze the messages for offensive content? Even notify others about it? This will surely not be abused by authoritarian governments (for example, the next GOP government)

And saying that on-device CSAM detection is actually a privacy feature seems ridiculous. Also, nothing about how users are protected from governments manipulating the hash database.

Edit: I don't get why they are doing this. They are seriously risking one of their biggest USPs, which is privacy. I think it's very likely that there will be a backlash and now they won't be able to get out of it gracefully.

 the "what, you're against this massive breach of privacy, that means you must be for child porn!!!!" might be the most distinguished mentally-challenged argument i've ever heard since nep nep let us know that it's ok because they only wanted to kill white babbies  :lol

Mildly surprised that the ResetERA.com thread is promoting the EFF* so much considering their staff and prominent members stance on the ACLU. The EFF is nowhere near as, let's say, progressive as the ACLU.

*Disclosure: I generally give all my Humble money to them.

The public perception was very clearly about that, dude.
Nobody in the world gives a shit about "copyrighted material" uploaded on porn sites, that's why they pushed the CP angle.

The fight about privacy is one that's already lost anyway, even without these goofy methods, people are more than happy to give away their privacy willingly in the name of convenience, strangers' approval, etc.
Or they wouldn't be posting every detail of their lives on social media 24/7.

I am curious to see when/if they'll extend this to more generic "hateful material" like PayPal is hinting at, that could bite a lot of people in the ass, but it'd be funny to see.  :doge

Why are they so obsessed with "Republican Anti-Vaxxers" when the variant was discovered in Peru? And poor countries unable to vaccinate millions, are probably more of a problem than a tiny percentage of conspiracy nuts in developed countries, anyway?

Sssh don't spoil the plot for season 5.


They haven't figured out yet that a lot of minorities don't trust their governments either (or they've decided to ignore all the evidence) and poor migrants on the run from South America or refugees fleeing Erdogan's camps certainly didn't get vaccinated.
If those German and French laws that essentially ban the unvaccinated from society come into effect it'll get very ugly very soon.

In the US too, already cities in Texas have declared an 'emergency' because illegal unvaccinated migrants have been let into their cities.
I thought the global power structures couldn't get any dumber but here we are.

Hell I'm seeing it around here too, I pretty much have to take every package delivered in this building because most people refuse to open the door for the arab that delivers them because he never used masks or anything.
It's a powder keg and politicians are about to light the fuse.

Peru uses the Sinopharm vaccine and their vaccination rates just aren’t great.  I can’t imagine a vaccine dodging variant would emerge from a country that has less than 25% of its eligible population with 1 dose and even if it did it doesn’t mean it reduces the effectiveness of all vaccines.  Not sure why they had to close the topic though.
