There are plenty of laws that require platforms to police publically accessible content. From SMS filters, ISPs are required to have, to CSAM reporting chat platforms like Discord have to do.

Government can't read or police E2EE messages, even if they want to. Telegram just doesn't care about that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

The comparison was uncalled-for, but Telegram earned its reputation by conscious action and not inaction. If they wanted to avoid all of this mess, they could have easily done that by enable E2EE by default. Policing Telegram's public groups is no different from Discord servers or other centralized non-encrypted platforms.

On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.

I'm someone who generally is against slapping "AI" on everything just to cash in on the hype bubble, but this is a great example of access providing something good that wouldn't exist otherwise.

The whole ethical "AI" discussion has its place, but nobody who is objective can't deny that more creative tools is a good thing. In the same way, as moving from paper to digital tools was a great thing which made it more accessible to more people and fostered creativity.

Bought and paid for establishment politicians will lean full authoritarian before they allow leftist party at the table. They don't care about democracy.

Anything "AI" is controversial, from what I have seen. But people probably expressed their opinions so many times already that they are just voting and moving on now.

It's engagement either way. And people are welcome to dislike the article or the company. E.g.

Full Self-Driving (FSD) advanced driver-assist system

So which is it? Is it a driver assist or full self-driving? It should be illegal to market false features.

Well damn, NY Times airing that IDF killed their own hostages is something I didn't expect. Props to Riley Mellen, Neil Collier, Natalie Reneau and Alexander Cardia for doing actual journalism.

I really like Perfumer. Perfumer talent + La Pluma is a great combo. But it's easily beat by other healers on the top end.

I'm open to more people joining the mod team, my messages are always open, and I mention that in the community sidebar.

Instance admins also actively resolve reports and do monthly update posts where they note abandoned communities that people are welcome to take over. E.g. September post https://lemmy.zip/post/22004722

I don't like the community consolidation happening on lemmy.world due to its size, so when possible I try to create alternatives elsewhere. lemmy.zip is an established instance with multiple admins, transparent finances and reasonable defederation policy.
