What makes you say it is silenced by HN?

This seems like it should be on the HN front page. And yesterday.

Surely it us missing just because many have flagged it. But that's far short of silencing it.

"We the people" in agregate. "Many individuals" != democratic majority. To argue otherwise is to claim that the ~1% of the population who are into this are going to sway the governments or the people they represent.

If we're talking about undressing, there is no aggregate. Some people want something; others want them not to have it. Simple. What the former want is not illegal. So the fact they are a minority is irrelevent. Minorites have rights too. If we're talking about genuine CSAM, that very different and not even limited to undressing.

Why would you think I was talking about anything else?

Also, "subset" != "very different"

This is newsworthy because non-consensual undressing of images of a minor, even by an AI, already passes the requisite threshold in law and by broad social agreement.

This is not a protected minority.

I imagine—but then that is just the HN community silencing it. Maybe flagging should have some different kind of weighting?

It is not silenced.

What's amazing to me is that this is silenced by HN. It should be a major topic of discussion here.

This was in fact flagged (though no indication on the title) yesterday, approximately 2 hours after it was on the second page.

I think discussions should be made immune from users flagging them if they have more than a certain amount of comments (50? 100?). If it's a problematic topic, then the administrator(s) should be able to flag it if they deem it necessary.

That would surely suffer the cobra effect.

It makes sexual images of real people without their consent. That's what's breaking the law.

Is an image of someone wearing only a bikini seriously claimed to be sexual here? Not by this article, for sure. "The service prohibits pornography involving real people’s likenesses and sexual content involving minors, which is illegal to create or distribute. Still, users have prompted Grok to digitally remove clothing from photos — mostly of women — so the subjects appeared to be wearing only underwear or bikinis.…

Try doing that to your coworker and report back on how HR describes it in your offboarding meeting.

It got upvoted quite quickly, then flagged. The way the algorithm works, if a hot topic is flagged for some time, the story will never show up on the front page.

The question is about an image not an action.
