“A critical service provider has terminated service permanently. Data loss has made it impossible to continue operation,”
in January the German newspaper Der Spiegel said it was able to identify them as a 36-year-old in Toronto who has been working at a hospital for several years.
That’s wonderful, though I do wonder how much of a whackamole taking down deepfake porn is going to be. Deepfake tech is now quite developed.
Sure, it’s probably easy to run the model and make it but if you can’t just look up deep fake porn directly, there’s extra effort for perverts to get it.
It’s a lot harder to humiliate a person if the deepfake porn is highly accessible publicly vs if it exists locally on a machine or with archives. Like, taking down these websites won’t stop blackmail, but at least it can slow down the “development” (ie, worsening) of the phenomena.
The real solution to this cancer is abolishing inheritance and placing the most “red-pilled” of men into re-education camps. Kill misogyny at the root.
fuck inheritance but I missed what it has to do with this.
we could also undermine the abuse by everybody being cool about nudity and not piling on when someone is victimized (but at that point we should just have a society where nobody sets out to make it in the first place)
Inheritance is the original cause of misogyny. Engels wrote a book about this. The short story is that patriarchy arose out of a “need” to know who was the “legitimate” heir who could inherit property (since the mother of the child was always known but the father was more ambigous in matriarchal societies and polygamous societies). This is a bit more obvious if you are from a country where traditional marriage norms have a much stronger hold on society (aka India).
Inheritance also plays the role in developed capitalist economies in terms of creating misogyny, but since the west’s traditional marriage norms were destroyed much earlier, it can be harder to see.
Actually, I’m not sure I understand misogyny in the western context that well. It can be kind of hard (and depressing) to keep up with the red-pill crap, although from what little I have been forced to endure of Andrew tate due to my dastardly cousin, he seems to be largely playing on young men’s economic anxieties about owning status symbols (amongst which women get included because they can produce “heirs”).
Making everyone cool about nudity sounds nice. But this kind of presupposes a non-patriarchal society.
ah yeah, attack the root.
90% of inheritance is spent on gaming rigs with GPUs also capable of producing deepfake videos.
