found that Instagram has been running paid adverts promoting child sexual abuse material
Uh oh… hopefully somebody goes to jail for that.
They can promise to form a group of engineers that will work to fix the issue and then a year or so afterwards they will just fire those engineers… Like they did the last time something like this happened.
Why tf do they need to order that?! Meta should fucking remove it immideatly themselves!
And the Suck should go to prison and be stripped of all his belongings.
Starting with his head.
Money. It’s always about money and the creeps who worship it.
It’s really interesting. The old web was the wild west, and back then you really had to know where to look for shady stuff (except the morons who put it on the open web and were sacked by the respective authorities). Nowadays this shit is commercialized and running ads on social media - as if protecting children does not actually have anything to do with privacy violations, age verification, ALPRs or preventing teens from using social media, but rather actual police work that doesn’t create a population that is naked to the eye of the state.
Everyone who goes for backdooring encryption and ID verification just wants to automate the punishment of dissidents who want something different than the ruling class.
Yeah, I quite “love” this BS.
On one hand, these tech megacorps are pushing for privacy violating measures to “protect the children”
On the other hand they’re literally profiting off child abuse and refuse to stop it. See e.g. Roblox refusing to deal with paedos because they were the highest paying customers…
Roblox is the worst of the bunch, exploiting unpaid child work and doing nothing against the real predators.
Man I really don’t like Roblox anymore… I used to play it a lot with the kids in extended family. I was the “funcle” so to speak.
I tried to log in one day and found my password and email address has been changed. Clearly it got hacked, dunno how, since it was a very strong password manager password. Probably a data breach or something.
Anyway, I recover the account, and I’m horrified. Some weirdo has been impersonating me and speaking to the young members of our extended family. Nothing serious yet thank God, I caught it early. But really weird stuff like asking what clothes they’re wearing. I contacted Roblox support but they didn’t give a shit. I told the family, but I don’t think they really understood what I was saying or why it’s serious.
I deleted my account to remove that attack vector because that’s just terrifying. Worse than those baby monitors security.
Holy shit that is so unfathomably horrifying. My skin is crawling.
zuckerburg and his shitty company explicitly allow this shit because it makes them money, and only ever remove it, feigning ignorance, once their actions are condemned by a government. profiting off of child sex abuse.
zuckerburg profited off child sexual abuse.
The longer I stay sober, witnessing events like this, the less willing I am to subdue my ever-strengthening desire to burn shit down
“We can’t talk about life because we must appease the advertisers.”
The advertisers.
Like what the fuck?! Who on earth needs to be told to do this ?? Just don’t fucking do it in the first place !
Bad (but tolerated by Google/Facebook) side-effect of Programmatic Advertising (automated auction of ad spaces) is, that malvertising and crap gets in.
Oh no! How is META gonna make its’ money now?!
