Some transit channels have uploaded mirrors to PeerTube but the numbers are minuscule compared to their Youtube channels.

They actually don’t take them down even if reported. I’ve been flagging stuff like this for 6 months. They refused. I appealed the refusal, a human supposedly reviewed it and it still was refused. The algo thinks I like that shit, so it shows me more and I report more of it. Nothing ever comes from it.

I’m talking about obvious CSAM or allusions to it. Accounts run by cybercriminals using images of minors to lure marks. Fucking shit that anyone with a working morality would remove.

I was going to say, what isn’t CSAM or scams, is violent and hateful propaganda or fake news.

I genuinely wish I could get a court order to ban my parents from using Facebook. I told my mom I wouldn’t help her next time she get’s scammed buying a fake item off a Facebook ad. I think she’s at like 4 times now.

Like they aren’t stupid, they are old. This stuff is dangerous for them.

Wouldn’t even bother reporting those ads… We know nothing would come from it. The scammers pay Facebook their cut, they are happy.

I’ve been flagging these on Facebook, which I have a blank account only for marketplace. Facebook NEVER does anything about it and I’ve been increasingly concerned. My reports get closed as “content does not break terms of use”.

The things I see through Facebook ads are not necessarily ai generated. They are just disgusting images, or allusions. Like an anime image of an old man surrounded by young boys with captions about a romance dating sim.

Yes, it is full of ads alluding to or including CSAM.

It’s been like this for a while. The suggested shorts frequently imply sexual content with minors and Facebook friend suggestions on blank accounts frequently include 14-16 year old girls.

Don’t believe me, create a fresh Facebook account and just browse the feed. It’s vile. The second you click it to report it, the algo will show you so much more.

Edit: There’s also a large number of fake user accounts promoting onlyfans or phishing scams including photos of under 18 girls in swimsuits with captions like “would you date someone young like me?”. Facebook also closed those reported tickets as not violating community guidelines.

I flagged one of these in January, I just found it and the user is celebrating her “birthday” holding balloons 1 and 3. Still active.

I’ve appealed some of these reports they closed and they claimed a human reviewed it and it still didnt violate guidelines.

They at best don’t give a fuck, at worst actively want this space to flourish within their platform. I think Facebook is behaving in a criminal way, either through negligence or complicit.

Don’t assume all this content is ai. It’s just as likely trafficking networks are producing these images or stealing them from minors’ accounts. These images could have been produced ages ago as well.

These cybercriminals absolutely have CSAM they will show as a means of achieving phishing or pig butchering scams. Facebook allows its space to be a launching point for this.

Cynically though… they’ve been peddling nothing for two decades now. Big data, the cloud, SAAS, web 3.0, metaverse, nfts, llms, there’s always a new nothing born.

Selfhosting Gitlab takes a bazillion RAMs lol. I think I got it up to 12gb idling without doing anything.

They are all going into debt over datacenters. Google issued new shares… how? why? They all make so much money and still they can’t cashflow this expansion.

What blood will there be to take?

Or his pivot to threads?

Yeah, that’s the neat part about servers, they don’t necessarily need to be snappy. Most of what it does is background work and it doesn’t have anything else to do. DDR3 and DDR4 get the job done just as well, and save you a buck.

My NAS has 16gb of ddr3 ecc, it has 10tb of ZFS pools and it runs an embedded OS. No problems with that. Not going to use it to host Gitlab lol, but it gets the job done for what it has to do.

Farming equipment is a particularly annoying one, that and construction vehicles, are becoming increasingly locked down by proprietary software and impossible to maintain yourself. You can’t even employ mechanics outside the dealer network in some instances and it will be more so in the future.

We’ll they said they only scanned stuff that would have allowed them implicitly, now did they really respect that? Their ‘‘stack’’ is public, so people can review it. It’s opensource, people can audit it at least.

The big giants can lift whatever they want from Github and we wouldn’t have the means to prove it. I’m sure Microsoft is using private repos as they like. It’s not a coincidence that Copilot was one of the earlier coding LLMs.

Yeah, they aren’t supposed to scrape that stuff. That’s kind of where I’m wondering if they limited their collections.

Yeah, its a strategy when you want someone to understand something they clearly haven’t. You restate it in different words. You may have addressed it, that doesn’t mean you understood my position. I don’t mean that to sound bitchy btw. 😅 We just chatting. We cool. 👉 👉

You’re just refusing to engage with point. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Would you find it acceptable if their claims at face value were true?

Why are you assuming I am excusing their behaviour?

We’d have an even bigger RAM shortage if so.

Sure but you moved the goalpost from ‘‘they weren’t allowed’’ to “they aren’t being honest”. There’s people in this thread who are in the repos, so we can find that out without assuming.

Also, at least their model is opensource and can easily be selfhosted on consumer hardware. Helps with your datacenter point from earlier. Like if this project does what it says its supposed to do, it’s genuinely interesting. If they are pushing the boundaries of permissive licensing then yeah that is really concerning.

So they scrapped stuff that wasn’t permissive? Interesting… though not really surprising.
