The year is 2030. After the AI bot wars, FaceBook and Google have been crippled. They let AI automation control their content and it was deleted after OpenAI GPT10 discovered vulnerabilities in automated copyright strikes. Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining.

With AI exponentially accelerating effects of Dead Internet, I think any social or content-sharing platforms will require some form of Digital ID that can't be easily created/mass-generated (e.g. maybe tie bank account to it?).

That would put real consequences on users misusing platforms. Even a small fee for misbehavior would likely curtail vast swathes of bad actors. It would also make companies be less trigger-happy with their bots if such are allowed to operate in that ID framework (i.e. an identifiable bot being punished would be a fee subtracted from the company that uses it).

I pretty much expect that kind of system in the future, otherwise we will just return back to private networks and private communities.

Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (very) occasionally slip through. So did ChainPatrol have the video taken down for copyright infringement or for "attempting to steal user funds"? Did ChainPatrol have to file an actual DMCA takedown notice to take down 3Blue1Brown's video?…

DMCA’s perjury provision is completely toothless; it might as well not be there. It doesn’t even require you affirm a copyright violation, just that you act on behalf of the rightsholder.

This is a perfect example of how ineffective it is.

Every year it becomes clearer that Idiocracy was indeed a documentary.

Sort of. They got the outcomes pretty close, but the movie was based on a premise of eugenics and equating poverty with low intelligence.

Weird, when I saw it, it was equating poverty with low access to education and corresponding outcomes.

Probably not. Youtube has their own system which is not DMCA claim based.

I noticed `ChainPatrol` has a Github: https://github.com/chainpatrol There's a `report abuse` button on the right of that page. I used it. (Category: Bullying and Harassment)

I'm flagging this comment for bullying. OK, I'm not but you get the point, right?

I do not claim this is a general, or perfect solution. I don't think there is one. I'm doing what I can, which is a good enough move, given the details of the situation.

I mean, we already have YouTube channels and tiktok content that are about the same as the TV show "ass" shown in the movie.

"America's funniest home videos" got dumbed down to "AFV" and the content was mostly "ow, my balls!". They even added a warning to the viewers to submit "wows, not ows". Although to be fair,some of that happened before Idiocracy came out. With the public money used for sports stadiums, that element of the movie to have government sports teams is slowly coming true also.

If you search YouTube for "fail army" there is clearly a whole ad supported business model for revenue from something that is about the same as "ow, my balls!"

Surely YouTube making a knowingly false allegation of tortfeasance against someone is libel. That should be actionable, possibly in a group action? Continued libel that inhibits the democratic exercise of free speech seems like something the government should act on?

It is common for racketeers to steal revenue from a popular video until YT sorts out the legal ownership a few weeks later. It is a known con... one often not worth the $50k to extradite and haul them in front of a judge to recover your losses. =3

its crazy that those funds arent held in escrow until the video publisher gets to respond/the dispute is resolved
