Non-consensual synthetic imagery is scaling faster than platform controls.

Recent reporting details how AI tools were used to fabricate explicit deepfakes of a public content creator - then monetize them via impersonation accounts.

Researchers documented millions of sexualized AI-generated images in a short timeframe, prompting regulatory investigations across jurisdictions.

From a security and governance standpoint:
• Identity verification failures
• Monetization platform abuse
• Content moderation lag
• Cross-platform amplification
• Enforcement complexity

This is not only a policy issue - it’s an abuse-of-technology issue.

How should AI providers implement friction without crippling innovation?

NYU psychology professor taken to task for hawking dubious paper about children, screen time and harms

The screen-time moral panic is not yet over, and this guy (thread) is being roasted on bluesky for selecting arbitrary experts, asking them if screen use MAY be correlated with harm, and graphing the results as if causative:

“I need you to roll a 20 to prove that using social media generally causes harm to teens…”

THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.
