At some point we need to start criminalizing shit like this and actually holding people accountable.

    💯 Big tech companies think they’re above the law.

    Thus far, they’d basically be right. Any fines are simply chocked up to “cost of doing business” expenses and since no one wants to either make solid laws against this stuff OR hold them accountable for current ones, they’ll just keep at it.

    If a law has a fine, it was created to deter poor people.

    That depends on if it is a dayfine or not.

    A fine of €500 for speeding will only really affect poor people, 30 dayfines which value is dictated by the wealth of the individual is a better system.

    This can be hard to implement and avoidable through "creative accounting" (e.g. living off daddy money with no declared income) so as a hybrid/additional solution fines should turn into penalties over repeat offences.

    Some countries use points licensing where your driver's license will simply be taken away if you have too many recent infractions on record.

    Companies should also be prevented from doing certain kinds of business if they repeatedly break the law. We have legal frameworks for this, we are just refusing to apply them due to politics and corruption.

    It’s so much bigger than this. It starts young. iPad kids. Strict gender roles. Sexualization of children. Learning from parents who have been conditioned by capitalism, sexism and more. We got little girls that want skincare products and teens talking about plastic surgery. It’s bad.

    Agreed though. Punish people for ruining society. I think I read a while ago that France had required social media posts to flag when images have been altered. We need more laws like this too.

    As little kids we got like no genderbased education from our parents. When we moved our grandmother got a lot more control and dumped blue boyish stuff on my brother and forbid the girly things. Has never worn a dress since and now is still not willing to wear one

    (it could be that us older sisters influenced that he wants to wear dresses too)

    I need context to understand your story. How old was your brother when you moved? How often was he wearing dresses before the move? How quickly did it stop? And how old is he now?

    • i actually dont know how often, but i would guess as often as we others too. from what i understood he actually liked it so often enough
    • a few weeks or months (was 5 at the time so its mostly something i heard from older siblings & mother)

    And mass sharing of images/videos which has made it so much easier to connect people, specifically in one case I saw today of someone on Telegram sharing child porn. How do you even put the cat back in the box?

    People don’t want to hear it, but AI. Used intelligently and responsibly.

    Unfortunately, the "used intelligently and responsibly" part is why people dislike AI - they don't trust companies or people to use it that way (and for good reason based on the results so far).

    Plus, it's not gonna put everything back into Pandora's Box. What we're in is a societal and cultural arms race where AI is just another escalation that's being used by both sides.

    It’s funny you reference Pandora’s Box. I often use it to refer to the growth of AI and people’s resistance towards it. It’s not going anywhere. It’s not slowing down. We gotta make it work for us.

    It’s hard to say if it’s one of those things that older gens say is different with newer gens even though it the same. I will say though, the convergence of sexualization of children and infantilization of adults have been narrowing the gap and maybe one is winning over the other.
