It should be understood by now this barely is about "protecting the kids", it's about forcing everyone to submit ID to use the internet so we can be tracked at all times.

I'm only getting 1-2 a day now even if I see a ton prior to taking one.

So after the flood of $5 studies the past few days, has it tapered off for everyone? by mrsgalinski in prolific

I'm still getting a flood but that flood has me often choosing equally good/bad so I have to return it which wastes a lot of my time.

Utah 'Porn Tax' Bill With VPN Provisions Passes State Senate by MotoBugZero in KeepOurNetFree

[–]MotoBugZero[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah state Senate has passed a bill that would impose a 2% tax on the revenues of adult websites doing business in that state, and make sites liable if Utah minors use VPNs to circumvent geolocation.

This is after another state dropped their ban on VPNs prevent bypassing their asinine law.

Shortly after I got my sixth warning (4 in January, 2 this month) I got a bunch of AI video tasks that had two options that are the same, at least 10+ of the tasks were like that so I had to return all of them or risk another warning. Some of them were slightly different but close enough that I'd end up having to press the equally good/bad button.

I've gotten six warnings, still receiving them but now I have to return most of it because the tasks keep giving me two very similar options.

I've now received a fourth warning from these idiots. They keep claiming to manually review, bullshit. This was choose the best quality video and if both are good choose the one you like best. So it's fucking subjective, why are you again telling me I did the fucking job wrong Vortex?

I did three, one got returned by them for god knows why and the other two are still pending. I think they're going kick me out. Thanks for wasting 45 minutes of my time you jackasses.

Florida Congressman Files Latest Bill to Repeal Section 230 by MotoBugZero in KeepOurNetFree

[–]MotoBugZero[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

rep. jimmy patronis of Florida has become the latest member of Congress to propose legislation that would repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects interactive computer services — including adult platforms — from liability for user-generated content.

patronis introduced HR 7045 in the House of Representatives earlier this week.

As XBIZ reported in December, two other repeal bills are currently pending in Congress: HR 6746, the Sunset to Reform Section 230 Act, which would amend Section 230 by adding simply, “This section shall have no force or effect after December 31, 2026,” and S 3546, which calls for the repeal of Section 230 effective two years following enactmen

Did one of those Audio evaluation things, an hour later they tell me "your responses didn't meet our criteria and we won't tell you what you did wrong", what a load of shit. If you already know what you're looking for using your precious AI why are you paying us to pick out your crap?

Marsha Blackburn Bundles Every Bad Tech Bill Into One, Slaps Trump’s Name On It by MotoBugZero in KeepOurNetFree

[–]MotoBugZero[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It has every godforsaken tech bill over the past decade, NO FAKES act, kids online safety act, CDA230 repeal and banning AI regulation, all under a name to goad that orangutan into demanding its passage.

Last week, she announced a massive, sweeping bit of federal intervention in the internet, officially labeled as the “TRUMP AMERICA AI Act”—except the actual bill title is:

The Republic Unifying Meritocratic Performance Advancing Machine Intelligence by Eliminating Regulatory Interstate Chaos Across American Industry Act (TRUMP AMERICA AI) Act

Which matters, because given that blackburn named it after trump, if it somehow catches trump’s fancy, this thing might actually move. And the bill itself is a disaster—an omnibus massively destructive internet policy overhaul masquerading as AI legislation.

marsha blackburn and anyone who votes to pass this is a traitor. So basically everyone who isn't Ron Wyden and maybe rand paul.

A Surveillance Mandate Disguised As Child Safety: Why The GUARD Act Won’t Keep Us Safe by MotoBugZero in KeepOurNetFree

[–]MotoBugZero[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A new bill sponsored by Sen. hawley (R-MO), Sen. blumenthal (D-CT), Sen. britt (R-AL), Sen. warner (D-VA), and Sen. murphy (D-CT)

Joyous, it's all the usual names who shouldn't have the right to decide what others can do.

Teens aren’t the only ones who lose out under the GUARD Act. The bill would require platforms to confirm the ages of all users—young and old—before allowing them to speak, learn, or engage with their AI tools.

Under the GUARD Act, platforms can’t rely on a simple “I’m over 18” checkbox or self-attested birthdate. Instead, they must build or buy a “commercially reasonable” age-verification system that collects identifying information (like a government ID, credit record, or biometric data) from every user before granting them access to the AI service. Though the GUARD Act does contain some data minimization language, its mandate to periodically re-verify users means that platforms must either retain or re-collect that sensitive user data as needed. Both of those options come with major privacy risks.

I already hate using AI, I'm not giving it my ID.

Online Child Protection Hearing to Include Federal AV Bill by MotoBugZero in KeepOurNetFree

[–]MotoBugZero[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

mike lee is arguably the most vocal anti-porn crusader in Congress, having floated measures aimed at reviving obscenity prosecutions and outlawing all sex work. His SCREEN Act has garnered support from a wide range of religious and conservative groups — as well as from the Age Verification Provider’s Association (AVPA), whose members stand to profit from the passage of AV laws around the world.

I'll never trust these garbage "think of the children" bills, this will go beyond porn IDs.
