Wife is leaving tonight on a 15-day EU trip with our 17YO granddaughter...UK, France, Sicily and Austria. This will be here sixth trip over there, and considering the mess we have here in the U.S., I do hope she comes back.

My main task for a couple weeks is keeping her plants alive. And me from 30 years ago would have already ordered the kegs of beer and pole dancers.

Current me might just catch up on my reading.

n disrelated systems, people are treated as roles rather than selves.Roles are #predictable, #compliant, and easier for the system to control.

This is a perfect demonstration of two different issues that @lauren talks about.

First, the post itself:

A simple, everyday action that predictably occurs in the real world, because #people are messy and imperfect and make mistakes and bad decisions. A 14-year-old boy does something stupid related to hormones: boy, that's never happened before! Why would we expect that?

Google's #algorithms detect it as CSAM or similar - you can argue this is a false detection or not. Predictable and predicted.

#Google immediately locks not just the account that the kid was using, but every other account that uses the same device. Call it what you will - collateral damage. The whole family loses #access to everything - photos, business stuff, website, email, and more. Again, #predictable and #predicted.

The users find themselves trying to #appeal to recover their access, and Google's systems make it impossible. You can't contact a human. There is no #escalation from the machine's judgment. If you don't know someone inside Google and can't get your story on the front pages, you're just #boned. Lauren *rails* against this dereliction by Google, demonstrated time and time again.

Then, the thread of replies is chock-full of presumably-technophile people laughing at the #victims and saying "You had backups, right? Ahahaha" and "Why would you give all that info to Google, stupid?" and similar. Near- #sociopathic lack of #concern for others. Lauren's right here, too.

We must do better.

White folks who try to say POC are mentally unwell when we stand up for ourselves are one of the first to be fucking nuked. They pull this shit a lot. It's super predictable, after we call their asses out in public.

You're the mentally unwell ones who lack fucking empathy for POC who have dealt with far too much unnecessary racial violence from your shithead white friends. You're the ones truly fucked in the head.
