Flipboard Tech Desk<p>President Trump signed the Take It Down Act into law, enacting a bill that will criminalize the distribution of nonconsensual intimate images — including AI deepfakes — and require social media platforms to promptly remove them when notified.

Ei sillä varsinaisesti naisia haluta suojella, vaan se on ase, jota voidaan hyödyntää alustoihin, joissa on yleisön tuottamaa sisältöä. Ei tietenkään T:n kavereiden alustoihin. Tai ehkä Metakin voisi hyödyntää sitä vaikka ryhmissä, joissa puhutaan vääristä asioista, mistä minä tiedän. Aloite voi kuitenkin uhata Wikipediaa, jos vaikka botit alkaisivat tuottaa sinne sisältöä, jota yhteisö ei ehtisi käsitellä riittävän nopeasti. Tai jos botit pistetään tekemään miljoonittain ilmoituksia laittomasta sisällöstä, jotka pitää käsitellä 48 tunnissa.</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/policy/624974/take-it-down-act-deepfakes-nonconsensual-pornography-trump-constitutional-crisis" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/policy/624974/tak</span><span class="invisible">e-it-down-act-deepfakes-nonconsensual-pornography-trump-constitutional-crisis</span></a></p>
