Bluesky Deletes AI Protest Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual Explicit Material'
-
Amazed people saying it is correct decision! This is two public figures and doing art or any form of expression material with their image should be protected under freedom of speech.
-
Nobody's going to mistake that stick figure for the real me, though.
-
so is that the key differentiating issue here? whether someone can mistake it for a real photo?
what if I'm a really talented artist and make a drawing of you posing in a sexually suggestive way. Should that be criminalized?
if I put a watermark "AI generated" in the AI porn, does that make it OK?
-
I think the important point in this case is not that the content is acceptable, but that it is newsworthy.
If somebody made the video and posted it, I could see it being permanently taken down. And it was at first, per the letter of their policy.
But the fact that government employees had it playing on government property inside government facilities, to protest some extreme and historical stuff going on, means it should be recorded for the public and for history.
I look at it much the same way as the photos of upside down American flags that various government employees put up. Just posting an upside down flag and saying how America is wrong is an opinion like any other that would get lost in the noise. But when it’s people inside the government intending it as a sign of distress, very much more newsworthy and important to record.

On Lemmy??? Blasphemy!

I guess "obviously Elon Musk would never go for a guy like me" would be the wrong answer
-
I made account on bluesky to post drawings and no seeing AI slop. I hate Elon Musk, but I don't consider seeing AI generated lemon party as funny thing. It's one of the reason why I don't use Twitter anymore.
-
That sounds fair, though I could still see an argument to be made for not always protecting the rich fucks the same way. Either way, we know that anything that comes out that's too incriminating would be declared AI-generated anyway, lol
Though mentioning the utopia... having porn of anyone anywhere might be some people's idea of a utopia! Haha

In case of Trump it's orange party

Yep, elitism is a huge problem. It's usually the best for newcomers to refer them to only certain subsections of the wider community (for example Linux Mint forums) who you know to be very friendly and humane. Many other places are a cesspit, and don't you dare criticize something technical. You'll get at least 30% answers trying to shut you up.

In terms of the wider Fediverse, people seem unable to understand how many people won't even know you can use third-party software with certain services so not finding a native, official "Lemmy" app in the app store is a dealbreaker for them. Hell, our digital education and modern mobile devices are so bad & manipulative at times people don't even know that "gmail" and "email" are the same… but of course that'll be blamed on literally everyone else. Can't be that that FOSS Bros are out of touch or something. Contributing to a social & economical solution is hard, let's go back to our code cave.

This is no different than a really well drawn political cartoon.
Politicians shouldn't have the power to control the kinds of things you say about politicians.
-
Yeah guys, fuck bluesky.
Already showing its true colors of "We'll abuse our power when we want to and only reneg if there's sufficient backlash."
Recommend MASTODON, NOT BLUESKY.
-
please stop being weird and gross
also please no more 'look bad person do gay' content
-
A perfect breeding ground for growing localized power structures that aren't bound to anything holding them back.
A power vacuum will always fill itself. To gain control over it as a society (i.e. democracy) is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. We have to keep improving it (by reforming how economical powers can or can not exercise power or grow), not moving to something that's so obviously disregarding how power structures form and behave in human societies. -
porn
Oh, saving the children are you.
Its a picture of trump sucking elons toes. Conflating that with the idea of "porn" is a bit of an overreach in light of how rare toe fetish people are. I imagine you can find a tiny popyulation of people who consider anything erotic. Wearing cotton. Having a roastbeef sandwhich in your hand. Styling hair a certain way. Being an asian female.
Want to ban all of that too?
-
If you allow it for people you don't like, where the bar for others.
-
Yeah I hate Musk and Trump for lots of things. I don't think using "haha they might be kissing each other! Musk sucks Trumps dick!" is somehow effective criticism of actual fascists in office.
Maybe we can criticize and protest and organize without using shit rooted in queerphobia. Might as well just say "Well Trump probably cross dresses, that shows him!"
-
Yeah. The means must absolutely align with the ends, and this video reeks of privileged white guy mad that he got his cushy desk job in DC ripped out from under him.
Whoever made this shit is no comrade and I'm sick of liberals sharing this everywhere
-
Here's my take on it:
- I don't care about AI being used on public figures, if you won't want people to use you, don't be in public, or ruin the government. No one has made AI featuring me.
- This is no different than a political cartoon, the only difference is no one made it directly by hand.
- Bluesky doesn't have to host it, but I also would want it applied equally. If this was perma-removed, all AI or all political shit would be. I don't like it, but selective moderating is what got us Trump in the first place with Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.
- I don't like queerphobic shit being used to call out Trump and Musk. Use their actual actions and words, not "haha they gay". It's just wild how certain kinds of informal bigtry are okay when you use them on people who are evil. Like the people who constantly insult Trump's weight because he's evil. Maybe he's just evil and happens to be fat.
- And let's not pretend Jack Dorsey is somehow a saint when he only removed Trump from twitter after Jan 6. Nothing before despite how horrid Trump was. I credit Jack Dorsey to enabling Trump, and it's why I refuse to join "Twitter 2 made by the guy who enabled Twitter to be the shit place it was".

Not a fan of the AI video but this kind of thinking is very very stupid. Take that cop out of your head.
