Should TAN ban X?

Started going down a rabbit whole, which has given me a couple of ideas to fix how twitter slows the site. :slightly_smiling_face:

As I understand X.com images on TAN are not loaded directly from X into the user’s browser. Discourse previews them server-side, caches them locally, and then serves the cached copy from TAN’s own domain.

That’s interesting. I’m meant to be speaking to our security guy on Monday. That will probably ruin his weekend!

Thanks for the info.

It’s pretty offensive that X is allowing these digitally altered pictures to be published

This could be accelerating:

My meeting with the security guy was interesting. It looks like X is becoming a tick list of violations of the German penal code: Insult, Defamation, Identity Theft, Sexual Harassment.

And that doesn’t even touch Strafgesetzbuch §86a which covers most of Musk’s political leanings.

This is actually a very interesting aspect. How will countries like South Korea handle twitter with their very strickt laws regarding deepfakes and how they are treated in regards to sex crimes?

Filters or bans? Some countries already have them in place

Reminds me of a Tim Harford article i was reading this weekend where he talks about how groups social media with a particular starting bias push themselves into taking more extreme positions.

Said it before, and I’ll say it again. The only genuinely useful thing about that Xesspit nowadays is the OSINT stuff that @Magnus finds.

law. Creation, distribution or posession of sexual deepfakes all come under the same law, Would be interesting to see how the law would be used to interptret grok and twitter postings of A.I generated deepfakes and exactly who is deemed to have broken the law?

Unless the ban happens globally, I am not even sure it will work, as the ban could be circumvented via VPN.

What proportion of people will use vpn though?
