This sure riled people up.

People really have become a bit paranoid about bots. It’s sad what AI has done to assumptions.

I’m not sure how to articulate it, really.

I’m hopeful too. We need things like this to start moving in the opposite direction.

The internet and surveillance capitalism have allowed for hyper optimized psychological manipulation. It’s long past time for regulations to catch up.

I dunno, it the it just reads like a reddit comment to me. 🤣

This interview with Palmer Luckey about the news is wild to listen to, if that’s your thing.

The EU executive said TikTok has failed to comply with the Digital Services Act’s obligation to publish an advertisement repository which allows researchers and users to detect scam advertisements.

The DSA requires online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content as well as provide information on advertisements.
