i'm genuinely curious about some alternatives to this sort of surveillance to solve issues like CSAM etc., which aren't "it's the parents responsibility". section 230 reform? links to further reading appreciated.

i found this to be an interesting talk by a specialist on the way risks from these things are ranked and where the state of currect research is: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=vocvz6N6faI

the important takeaway for me was that "micro"plastics aren't exactly microscopic

these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day

youtube suggestions are genuinely terrible for the individual and humanity as a whole

i agree. some values are universal, like what should be considered cruel, but slaughtering pigs is pretty cruel too (i eat them anyways!). to me, what's funny here is how privileged first world people just hate to see how the hot dog is made, so to speak.

it's like privileged people hating to simply see homeless people in cities even though the system that makes people homeless is necessary to keep the high property values that they benefit from. the mere witness of the cruelty we benefit from in modern society makes the privileged one feel like a victim.
