Simple. They get a president to fund and expand their operations.

There’s a thing that was happening in the past. Not sure it’s still happening, due to lack of news about it. It was something called “glamour modeling” I think or an extension of it.

Basically, official/legal photography studios took pictures of child models in swimsuits and revealing clothing, at times in suggestive positions and sold them to interested parties.

Nothing untoward directly happened to the children. They weren’t physically abused. They were treated as regular fashion models. And yet, it’s still csam. Why? Because of the intention behind making those pictures.

The intention to exploit.

I don’t know personally. The admins of the fediverse likely do, considering it’s something they’ve had to deal with from the start. So, they can likely answer much better than I might be able to.

Schools generally means it involves underage individuals, which makes any content using them csam. So in effect, the “AI” companies are generating a ton of csam and nobody is doing anything about it.

Oh so many.

Femme tan Ill.

Old puritan folklore had it that masturbating would cause hair to grow on one’s palm and the intense itching was a sign that someone was doing the deed. Which called for a whooping.

Hah, yeah. One could say it’s a form of digital nepotism.

“Only our bots get go work here!”

Lol, they’re the ones using the bots to fake engagement in the first place.

Don’t worry, she’s probably getting deported/disappeared soon.

Hmm… Being too much in the know can at times be as troublesome as being too little.

and a sweeping statement about all of them in general.

Or, hear me out here, the ones that don’t aren’t modern… Get it? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

If you haven’t come across them yet, then i might be a pioneer! Dibs on the patent!

But your words confuse me. Either it’s not true at all or it happens. You’re sure they exist, though rare. As i said before, suspicious. You might just be one of those rare occurrences after all…

You wish to be the first acknowledged one, no? It’s alright, you can have the honour. I’ll keep mum about it for you.

Do you have any data to back up that claim?

None whatsoever.

I don’t think that’s true at all, it would be very rare.

Suspicious words. You have one, don’t you? Don’t worry, I won’t tell.

Modern viruses check the os before deciding which type of file to send your way.

I did talk. You didn’t. This comment of yours… Zero substance. Not even dumb, just empty.

Nah, it’s very subjective. Idealistically patriotism is more like “I want to make the common house everyone on the street lives in more pleasant to live in for everyone.”

Realistically it’s more like “I want to make my house how I think it should be better. Why doesn’t everyone else do the same?”

Each individual has their own idea about what’s the patriotic thing to do, even if that ends up to be the wrong thing in someone else’s view. That’s why I say it’s about internal conflicts. Your patriotism and your neighbor’s can come at odds with each other in various points. Neither of you might be wrong, but you’ll still have to pick something that goes against those beliefs eventually. Better for you, worse for someone else, but pat oneself on the back with the excuse “the good of the many”.

What a dumbass take.

The difference is much simpler. Patriotism for internal conflicts, nationalism for external conflicts. Both for manufactured Boogeymen fueled by malicious propaganda.
