weird how it's always like, 0 degrees of separation, between "ai is here to stay" and "i am in bed with the technofash"

@pemensik I’m not saying things don’t need to change, but things like “age control” don’t fix anything.

@pemensik the problem, in my opinion, is on the lack of will of platforms to control sensitive content that give them money.

I have no solution for this, and not enough political power to try to enforce things.

I’ve been a kid (with a computer). I have a teenager son. I know they will find a way to circumvent whatever measure is done.

And most of the solutions is just to take away liability, in the sense of “I did what I was supposed to do, so I can’t be considered guilty.”

@pemensik @system76 @fedora what about fixing the problem, not the victims?

We’re always targeting the symptoms, and that’s a moving target. The target should be platforms.

At the heart of the report is a devastating charge: Israeli prisons &detention centers have been systematically transformed into a network of torture camps...these spaces are characterized by sustained physical &psychological abuse,extreme overcrowding, deliberate starvation,denial of medical care & humiliation of inmates.W/in this system, incarcerated men,women, &children experience violence t crosses the boundary into #torture as defined by int'l law.

Living Hell: Israel’s Prison System as an Instrument of Oppression

In January 2026, the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem published a grim update to its earlier work, titled Living Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps. This report documents the horrific conditions faced by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and detention facilities, revealing structural brutality that must be understood not as isolated injustice but as part of a broader system of violence and exclusion directed against the Palestinian people.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has now passed the 24-hour mark with national connectivity flatlining at 1% of ordinary levels.

The measure limits civic engagement at a key moment for the country's future after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei in US and Israeli airstrikes.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...
