So an applicant with dangerous people in their life, maybe an abusive family member or a stalker ex, is forced to expose their accounts they would otherwise keep private. That’s the first bad-case scenario that comes to mind, I’m sure there are more.
I propose a new rule - if so for me, then so for thee. Anything imposed on legal applicants is also imposed on the lawmakers who put it in place.
I only vacation in countries that have trained their LLMs to use line breaks.
Use of the terms “warfighter” or “warfighting” is one of the biggest red flags in my life due to the industry I’m in. Big cringe. Might as well just say “I wanna make the world more White and Christian. I’m not in the military but love tacticool fashion. 'Murrica.”
I can’t wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don’t go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.
Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.
If in the US, you stick a thumb out. If in Australia, index finger. Repeat for whichever country you’re in. Contrary to what the Internet often pushes, many other humans are decent people and will stop to help.
I would be more concerned about others unable to reach me. Like, my mom isn’t doing well and if I missed her calls during a health crisis because I wasn’t on wifi, I’d have a hard time with that.
Tech companies do t want us to have friend or family connections. Sad and lonely people buy more stuff.
Don’t forget problems with everything around AI too. Like in the US, the Big Beautiful Bill (🤮) attempts to ban states from enforcing AI laws for ten years.
And even more broadly what happens to the people who do lose jobs to AI? Safety nets are being actively burned down. Just saying “people are scared of new tech” ignores that AI will lead to a shift that we are not prepared for and people will suffer from it. It’s way bigger than a handful of new tech tools in a vacuum.
This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.
But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health … sounds almost feasible.
Most dentists in the US do fall under HIPAA. Disclaimer for some dentists in some states or some edge cases, but in general, US dentists have to comply with HIPAA.
Which means they need to select software that can be implemented in a HIPAA-compliant way and develop processes that protect PHI (protected health information). Or ensure someone on their staff is responsible for HIPAA security.
So yes, if in the US, it’s worth asking the dentist how this setup is kept HIPAA-compliant. If the dentist says “IDK, I just do tooth fixing stuff” then it’s time to find a new dentist; they shouldn’t be trusted with any private data with or without AI in the mix.
Edit: it also took 30 seconds to find the company’s website where they at least claim they are compliant to HIPAA, GDPR, and an alphabet soup of other names.
Yep. The dentist is shockingly dumb if they don’t already have a plan and response with how this didn’t fall south of HIPAA compliance.
People that like Fight Club, American Psycho, and Starship Troopers… k, but like, do you get it or are you a nut job?
Sounds like a better state-backed initiative would be to make mental health services available to this dude and to anyone else dealing with addiction issues. Especially since I assume this door guard was older than 18 and age verification, no matter how private, would have done nothing to stop his access to porn.
you gotta admit that there are psychological effects on avid adult viewers and more on minors
Citation needed when we’re talking about implementing laws and opening up lawsuits suing for $75k+. Multiple robust peer-reviewed citations needed. Preferably not funded by a Catholic church group.
Also it’s a leap to say top-down privacy invading laws are the way the state or federal government should handle it instead of the concerned parent monitoring computer usage. There’s so many free and subscription based parental control tools out there. Comprehensive sex education would be a potential alternate way for the state to support parents and teens to educate them on porn consumption and safe internet usage.
FYI, NCOSE, the group joining (likely funding) the lawsuit, is against comprehensive sex education.
I hope those aren’t his real initials because it seems like there’s more than enough information to identify him between the article and complaint filing. Poor kid doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this.
Ty! TIL. I’ve probably seen it many times before, but it only jumped out at me this time given the Olathe, KS setting and strong fundie Christian vibes.
Agreed. As a lawyer friend once told me, “you can sue someone for damn near anything. It doesn’t mean you’ll win”.
I imagine the “disability and disfigurement” will get sussed out at some point and either backed up w some sort of evidence, or taked out from the rest of the complaint.
Pretty sure those NCOSE assholes are the ones who said school shootings and other mass murders are because of moral decline due to gay people.
Jeebus, I need backup plans for Friday nights.
Page 8 & 9 of the court filing (not the article):
Through this time, Q.R. was able to access chaturbate.com on thirty different instances: […] seven instances on August 30, 2024 […]
Bruh, make sure to hydrate.
Page 13, absolutely fascinating to me that “prays for judgement” is stated and whether that is at all common:
Plaintiff prays for judgment against Defendants in an amount in excess of $75,000.00 for: a. actual damages resulting from Q.R.’s access to material that is harmful to minors, including but not limited to past medical expenses, future medical expenses, past and future lost services and disability, past and future pain, suffering, and disability […]
Page 15, looking for more details on alleged “disfigurement”:
As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ negligence, Plaintiff has suffered and will continue in the future to suffer the following damages: a. Pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish […]
It goes on to talk about pornography causing a shift in perspective on sex and possibly leading to addiction. Not finding anything specific on the alleged “disfigurement”.
I’m left to assume poor Q.R. will have to deal the rest of his life with the friction burns caused by jerkin’ it 7+ times on August 30, 2024.
His mom also demanded a jury trial, so Q.R. can rest easy knowing 12 strangers will hear about his friction burns and give it the serious attention due.
I coached my grandma to just repeat “I want to talk to a human operator, please” over and over until she got through. It worked about 70% of the time but some are nearly impenetrable.
But one shouldn’t have to.
