After reading the examples, I trust Zuckerberg more than the author of this article. And that's a really low bar. The evidence for Zuckerberg lying here is flimsy at best. It's almost like the author doesn't know what lying even is.
Socialism never took off in America because Americans know that disincentivizing work shrinks the economy and makes everyone poorer.
Your PM most definitely would not tell you to skip a feature that is needed for your emails to be delivered to Gmail accounts. What a preposterous thing to lie about.
Closing a small patch of airspace while military activity is occurring is not authoritarianism. Get a grip you lunatic
Trump needs to be impeached immediately for this. How dare he close airspace and then just lift that closure once the danger has passed.
Google ought to rethink its policy of disclosing government subpoenas to users. Every time this happens, the media uses it to attack Google. They'd be better off leaving users in the dark about these legally required data disclosures. Even if most users don't go crying to the media when it happens, it's still not worth it.
That would solve exactly zero of the complaints surfaced in this lawsuit. Companies still have an incentive to maximize app usage regardless of whether the advertising is personalized.
In fairness, AI-generated CSAM is nowhere near as evil as real CSAM. The reason why possession of CSAM was such a serious crime is because its creation used to necessitate the abuse of a child.
It's pretty obvious the French are deliberately conflating the two to justify attacking a political dissident.
Grok does try to prevent it. They even publicly publish their safety prompt. It clearly shows they have disallowed the system from assisting with queries that create child sexual abuse material.
The fact that users have found ways to hack around this is not evidence of X committing a crime.

Are you illiterate? The comment I was replied to said X should be banned for trying to manipulate public opinion. It said nothing about CSAM.
Every AI system is capable of generating CSAM and deep fakes if requested by a savvy user. The only thing this proves is that you can't upset the French government or they'll go on a fishing expedition through your office praying to find evidence of a crime.
Reddit and BlueSky would be the first to go if that were actually the criteria for banning a platform.
Maybe ten comments below you there is someone stating "environmental regulations are a win."
No qualifiers whatsoever. All environmental regulations are good as far as this person is concerned.
Not sure why the title was editorialized, but this is literally just one person's opinion. The title makes it sound like the legal community universally agrees, which is not true.
$45 pays for the cost of a much more tedious identity verification process.
The author never really argued for anything. He's just whining
No idea why the poster wants to deprive this author of engagement on his post, but here's the original link: https://x.com/karpathy/status/2015883857489522876
Freedom of speech has literally never prevented a private company from controlling the content on its platform.
Nothing. These apps are mental poison. They're designed to be addictive. Healthy adults don't use TikTok or any equivalent.
And you think they won't be used against me if I don't help build them?
Seems unlikely.
If the implication is that the tools won't exist if I don't build them, that's beyond a pipe dream. We'll never get a globe of 8 billion people to agree unanimously on anything. Let alone agreeing not to build something that gives them power over their adversaries.
3.5% forcing their preferences on all the others is obviously anti-democratic.
Unless you don't know what democracy means
Because innocent people are dying and western governments are capable of intervening but choose not to.
Your line of argument is an interesting one though. You're tacitly admitting that western protesters don't actually care about innocent Palestinians. They're just using Palestine as an excuse to undermine their governments.
Nobody in the west actually cares about injustice. They just pretend to care when it's politically convenient.
Unfortunately, ABC and NBC haven't found a way to blame Trump for what's happening in Iran. Highlighting the atrocities perpetuated in the name of Islam is more likely to help Trump than hurt him, so this story must be minimized. It's just good, smart politics.
Europe needs to roll back all of the socialism if it wants to compete with the US and China. European tech is never going to keep pace if the people who build it only work 35 hours a week and take a year of paternity leave every time they have a kid.
Very different phrasing between the headline and the subtitle:
Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked
Microsoft says it will hand those over to the FBI if requested via legal order
Microsoft complying with legal orders is not news. But why hire actual journalists when you can just lie in your headlines and still get clicks?
Talk about a pipe dream. This is a far less significant penalty than what has been applied to Russia and absolutely nothing has happened to Putin.
Europe could apply all the same sanctions to the US that it has applied to Russia and Trump would still serve out his full term.
No, it's pure symbolism. Countries don't purchase US treasuries to be charitable to the US. This hurts Denmark just as much as it hurts the US. And in relative terms, Denmark is going to feel the pain from this way more than the US since the US economy is 70x bigger than Denmark's.
The fact that they don't have an agenda written into their charter doesn't mean they don't have an agenda. Basically every American news organization is an example of this.

You have to love when the media describes something as "shadowy." They're not even trying to hide their bias.
