The false positive rate combined with scanning millions of pictures might make the chance of arresting the wrong person really high.

Before the misuse, there is opportunity to predict that misuse is certain to occur.

How about just bailing and having people falling of planes? Why would there need to be a good way to "extricate" from a ludicrous mess?

Without a doubt it's a "least worst" scenario. The best solution is to not empower the people who got us there. A distant second is to not give them back control eight years later.

I'm still interested to hear of a better c.2009 peace plan.

I think what happens is that the risk of including a critical amount of "toxics" (lacking a better word) such that they can keep a conversation going, increases by FB group size. Without actice moderators it doesn't take much.

I think it is important to remember that only a tiny, tiny fraction of most facebook groups is actually posting, commenting, or even viewing the group at any given moment. Most people who view don't post/comment. (True of reddit and other social media as well.)

And the thing about poorly moderated groups (especially on platforms with rage-boosting algorithms) that let assholes go off without consequences is: the people who both a) actually look at the group ever and b) aren't assholes either leave entirely, stop looking at the group, and stop posting/commenting to the group (if they ever did in the first place). They go find places to hang out where there aren't a bunch of assholes. Nobody wants to hang out with the assholes when they can easily just not.

And at the same time, the assholes all gravitate to the same few places because they get kicked out of all the other places. Or if they don't get kicked out outright, they get shouted down or ignored, which they hate. So instead they congregate where they can get away with or get praised for saying whatever vile things they want.

The Dunbar number is 150 for humans but that only measures maintaining a group, maybe the behave nicely number is smaller.

That effect also applies when you try to block car crashes. That happened to me years ago with the same genre of videos. Like car crashes and people falling and hurting themself a little bit.

Yes. Please tell my bank that.

They know. The EU directive is quite clear that hw tokens are to be preferred over phones. Banks are cheap though and violate it.

Switch bank.

It is hard not to accidently click on shorts when they are interleaved in search results.

Adding that once one accidentally clicks on a short all the results are skewed in that direction afterwards. I have to close the browser, run BleachBit and start over.

LLMs might have changed the feasibility of cheap data analysis a bit.

I mean it is technobabble but in some way it is also poetic.

It's funnier than typical technobabble because they're literally saying its not encrypted. The writers knew what they were doing, I'm sure

Or its encrypted with no key meaning theres no way to open it
