This is about muddying the water.

Allowing fakes like this to circulate helps support doubt about evidence and credible accusations against abusers. In the post Epstein era the diddler class has adapted to flooding the internet with bullshit rather than just trying to cover everything up.

Misuse/abuse of AI tools helps them sow doubt and mistrust. The ready availability and general subsidy of AI forgeries is hugely beneficial to authoritarianism in general.

    Nah. The data centers just amplify what was already there. About a third of society is a bigoted, uneducated, narcissistic mess that only looks out for themselves.

    Also more people have been rallying against the government whenever and wherever there is one since "they took back the power which is different from winning the elections", according to the current vice-president.

    But how many more? (Tl in alt text)

    "A bit more" said by 300's Leonidas in an ironic/sarcastic tone, implying far more.

    Amusing how the only news I've come across the Brazilian presidential election in the threadiverse, twice from different sources, is from the accusation against Meta. Meanwhile, corruption scandals against the current government keep pilling up.

    The problem with the light is, it's incredibly small and dim, so is very easy to miss. Plus, people aren't aware of what to look for yet because they're not used to being around this "perv-vision".

    I saw a guy at a sandwich shop with them and he was loud and bragging about them which was the only reason I knew he had them.

    I'm honestly shocked they're allowed in Illinois being there's the "all party consent" law still in effect where any audio surveillance or recording needs to make all parties aware they're being recorded. Then add in the BIPA (biometric information privacy act) where you KNOW Meta is going to use face ID or facial recognition to tag or show the owner who's who.

    In a bizarre case of digital censorship, Meta’s content moderation system stepped in to stop a local theatre in Barcelona from promoting a stage adaptation on the grounds that it violated a rule on promoting “social topics,” per the Guardian.

    So the social media giant doesn't want people talking about social topics? So why should they exist?

    Nope.

    The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones to allow users to speak to the company’s AI chatbot and its recently-released AI assistant, called Muse. They’ll presumably pick up audio from users’ environments as well, where bystanders may not be aware of the eavesdropping.
