We interrupt the Silence for a short Public Service Announcement:

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos...
The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.
EU politicians exempt themselves from this surveillance under "professional secrecy" rules. They get privacy.
You and your family do not.

Demand fairness., the link above helps you write to all your representatives at once.

"Unpopular opinion but the reason being a teenager sucks is less to do with hormones and social cliques and more to do with the fact adults fucking hate teenagers. The fact that adults expect teenagers to be able to take on adult responsibilities yet don't deserve rights of an adult. They don't see teenagers as human beings and they aren't prepared to see kids with their own formed identities and humanity.

Teenagers are so sexualized and seen as needing to take on more and more adult responsibilities. Yet when they want rights and humanity they are denied. The years your brain spends wanting nothing more than to form an identity are being taken away from you.

Teenagers are essentially being kicked out of social spaces unless they have an extra 40 dollars lying around anytime they want to go out. Teenagers being kicked out of the mall just for existing or groomed into the school to prison pipeline. And now creating legislation to keep them off the Internet.

Our society hates teenagers. And does everything we can to hurt them. The fact that anyone makes it out of their teenage years without trauma is a fucking miracle frankly."

#AI #socialmedia

Some people online are talking about this, I want to bring this to everyone's attention: YouTube Shorts are almost certainly being AI upscaled.

To make it more explicit, Google is not so subtly trying to make it impossible for us to decipher if a clip is real or not.

Why are they doing it? We can't say for sure. But my guess is, it is to be able to make us get used to it. When they degrade all content to look as if it is AI generated, then viewers can no longer discern between what is real and what is AI generated. They’re training us, the audience, to get used to the AI look and eventually view it as normal. Because Google is heavily invested in AI.

This, if true, which it looks like it is, is almost definitely part of what I have termed the mind shredder before.
