Even if they are caught and it’s illegal, as long as the fine for it is less than the roi of running them the companies will not stop.

#132If any of us did that clearly we’d be in jail for several years and put on the sex offenders register but when Meta appear to be hugely responsible for increases in teen suicide or crimes like these we get nothing. If corporations want the rights of individuals they equally should shoulder our shared societal responsibilities as well. I honestly don’t get how they can just pretend they aren’t responsible somehow beca…
>If any of us did that... You don't have Metas legal team nor does the power structure find your valuable to have helping them out nor can you harm them if you don't like them. There was, quite famously, a man who got away with these sorts of things for quite some time. He owned an island. I can't recall his name....
Oh yeah — you’re thinking of Sergey Brin’s buddy. They were neighbors for a while, they used to go kite surfing together. Great guy.

#133I'm wondering what people expect these companies to do? Human moderators? Sure, but Meta products have approximately half the worlds population using them. At this scale it's pretty mind bogglingly difficult to moderate down everything. The ads/posts served per second is an astronomical number. This truly is a case where AI is the solution. There's no way to automate this at scale with humans. As AI gets better hopef…
Think of it as an individual and instead of social property real property. If a person is stealing retail goods every day, no one asks "what should he do?" what he "should do" is face consequences until he is not a person who steals every day.
Just because the social property giant corporations steal is somewhat abstract doesn't change any of the fundamentals of right and wrong. I'm so tired of this ultra-capitalist "right to be massive" assumption which places the value of unhinged monopolistic growth over maintaining social commons. What these companies "should do" is face penalties until they can safely manage their scale, or scope their scale to a level they can maintain safely.

#13436 million CSAM media removed in 2025? Why aren't millions of people in jail? Wtf?
In most western countrys, is often more than 50% from CSAM from underaged teenagers, like selfies etc. And then are cases like some overmotivated parents post nude baby pictures. I guess such pictures also get flaged. But even if its just 50%, 18 million, your point still standes. Why are not more people in jail.
Because the point of power and wealth is to avoid accountability for harm.
That is literally what "freedom" means in the US. It's not the pursuit of happiness, it's the pursuit of immorality without consequences.
If this isn't obvious - how many people mentioned in the Epstein files have been arrested?
Re: Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery
#135I've noticed on YouTube I see a lot of adult sexual ads. Things like home cleaning ads that have an unmistakable wood-grain image of fellatio. I've always wondered "how are these getting past the moderators?". I guess the answer is the obvious one: no one is moderating anything.
Google Play Store showed my child an ad of a bloody body on a bed for a murder mystery game. The game was rated 18+ and the account had my daughter’s correct single digit age.
I reported the ad and a week later it was still there. I switched to Apple.
Re: Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery
#136What's crazy is how long it takes to report something like this to a big company and actually have them take action on it. I remember 10 years ago I reported a Giphy ad for the same thing, and it took them months to take action.
Step 1: establish a process and business unit to "address the problem"
Step 2: wait for it to get out of the news cycle.
Step 3: donate heavily via lobbyists to the opponents of the politicians who called you out
Step 4: de-fund the unit down until just barely enough that you're not lying when you say you "have a team working very hard on the problem." A dozen people in some third world country you pay a dollar a month each, for example.

> 36 million CSAM media removed in 2025? No, not at all. "removing over 36 million pieces of child sexual exploitation content last year" Not CSAM.
Doesn’t the M stand for Material? What are you saying the difference is? Their quote just sounds like another phrasing

Well that means don't do the thing that you can't control, or they shouldn't be legally allowed to do the thing they can't control.
Additionally, for one of the biggest companies in the planet, that has done mind bogglingly difficult things in order to make profit, that's the lamest excuse ever.
Fine them out of existence.

#140Earlier quoted context omitted.
> But they couldn't possibly do it at that the scale they're operating at. They couldn't hire enough people in the countries they operate, or know the language, or trust that who they do hire aren't corrupt or working against their interest. And they can't manually approve every ad, or make sure targeting isn't illegal or otherwise harmful. you say sarcasm, but i think this is literally true. this isn't a defense of…
The point I'm making is they're not entitled to scale a business if they can't scale responsibly
i agree with that, and said the very same thing in my comment
