Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes

1d 3h ago by slrpnk.net/u/silence7 in politics from www.nbcnews.com

Were the senators themselves the victims of these deepfakes?

Also, they're the legislative branch. Why don't they just create a law to prohibit sexual deepfakes and assess penalties from the companies with tolerance/ambivalence/apathy toward sexual deepfakes?

That would require them to actually do their fucking jobs. Congress nowadays just takes orders from the dictator in office.

Are you under the impression that the senators calling for this have any power whatsoever to enact laws? John Thune runs the Senate schedule and he’s a loyalist.

I don’t have faith that such a law could get passed in a timely manner, if at all, with the current leadership. Especially if it would basically single out two of their biggest darlings- AI and Elon.

Omg. We need to start generating sexual images of all the leaders in the government branches. Clarence blowing Donald while he eats Mike's ass. 

That's how we get them to regulate this shit.

That way if the Epstein files are ever released everyone in incriminating photos can just say it's far left deepfakes?

I've pretty convinced this is what they're stalling for, and are generating the materials themselves.

You know that's already what they're doing. And anything that comes out and anything that has come out they've already been stating that it's AI or deep fake or photoshop I mean hell we had Photoshop way way before any sort of aid fake that's just the latest buzzword being used.

Because Epstein’s bestie wouldn’t sign it.

Were the senators themselves the victims of these deepfakes?

Easily done, but ick.

Their response:

Urged? Why not threaten?

"We will arrest your CEO and board of directors if you do not comply within 24 hours"

Because the minority party doesnt have the power to do that

And wouldn't if they did. They're beholden to Apple and Google in exchange for legal bribes themselves.

You have no basis whatsoever for believing this. All you’re doing is weakening the opposition and demoralizing the left. You may as well be working for MAGA.

First of all, yes I do.

Second of all, the DNC is a sorry excuse for a supposed opposition and they're certainly not the Left.

Third of all, people like you reflexively vilifying everyone who criticize the corruption and ineptitude of the DNC leadership are who may as well be working for MAGA, as you're keeping them in power by shielding the ones who lose eminently winnable elections to them from accountability.

Which. Fucking. Senators.

three Democratic senators

So nobody, nothing. The Dems have no power, let alone are mostly pussies or complacent.

Sensationalist nothingburger headlines.

You know who has no power? The barely-ran green party who holds no seats, and the thrown-away votes that were so edgily withheld.

Think about how much different our world would be if they had decided all those years ago that platforms are liable for the content they host.

@Kalon @silence7 "too big to fail" -> banking crisis. "too big to moderate" -> culture crisis.
