Yes a fair comparison.
Doesn’t necessarily have to do with conservatism. Not everyone wants to be randomly flashed without consent.
Here’s a related, interesting example for BlueSky, on generating disguised links and preview cards (with content the url doesn’t actually contain) for anyone curious: https://github.com/qwell/bsky-exploits
The article mentions there are aleady a few issues, some quite old. The article is useful for raising awareness and hopefully getting the fix prioratized higher.
They really shouldn’t have omitted in the title that it’s rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.
If posts were signed, it wont matter what instance youre posting from since your identity would be tied to your public key and not the account on a Mastodon/lemmy/etc server.
Thats more decentralized. It helps when you get banned, a server shuts down etc.
I’ts honestly hilarious that a Pakistani movie only seems to have white characters.
The description of jinn as being made of smokeless fire along with some being good and others bad, are exactly the Quranic descriptions of them, so its nice seeing some of the creator’s culture make its way to the film.
The disputed territories I imagine are a reference to Jammu and Kashmir. One of the characters called the dispute “idiocy”, interesting.
You replied to my comment on this case of CP so I thought you were referring to the child protection law. I made a snarky reply because it looked like you were obviously wrong, sorry about that.
That wasn’t cherry-picking, it was to show how there have been holes in the child protection law and they have been fixed. There isn’t some evil attempt at keeping these issues open.
Also if law is all there is to preventing rape, why does India have a lower recorded rate of rape than many developed european countries and the united states? Because there is a lot more to it, like social factors. E.g would you report a rape if it would bring shame and no longer being a virgin would make it difficult to get married?
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics under “by country” then sort by decreasing order the tab for “Rate per 100,000 population”.
The country that passed a new law on child protection to cover holes like the penal code not covering male child sexual abuse, is trying to keep the holes open?
The same one that overturned a case where a hole in the child protection law allowed abusing minors so long as there was no skin-to-skin contact. And instead now the law is interpreted to cover that case? Source
I’d be surprised if conservative India with its many poor regions didn’t have a bad rate of rape, but why think India is particularly bad, enough to call it a backwater? Need some sources on that.
And that user using absolute numbers instead of the rate of rape really gives away them being clueless about this.
Thanks, thats a proper newspaper.
I wasn’t suggesting the ruling wasn’t made btw, just that the source can’t be trusted to give an accurate account of it. Also we shoudln’t send traffic to websites that e.g troll about diversity.
The person was not convicted because the laws on child protection and internet crime that exist do not cover posessing CP while not producing it. If a law has holes, it can be ammended, it doesnt mean the hole was intentionally written to enable this crime.
Deciding to call an entire country a backwater because of the mistake some lawmakers made is just silly. Also the Supreme court thats handling the appeal in said backwater:
“How can a single judge say like this? This is atrocious,” source
The website is run by two Youtubers, not journalists. See their about us.
You can see this in their rigour, quoting OpIndia, a hindu-nationalist source known for misinformation and Islamophobia (its wikipedia entry) and reduxx.info, an anti-trans news source.
Recommended articles towards the end of the article also make it clear this is just right-wing ragebait website: African Rapist Allowed To Remain In The UK After Arguing That Deportation Would Harm His Mental Health and Sheetz Convenience Stores Accused Of Discriminating Against Minority Job Seekers By Refusing To Consider Applicants With Criminal Record
If you look at the other replies, you’ll see people politely explaining. You didnt have to make these rude replies.
I think you’re mixing up ethnicity with what the area was. The whole area was Palestine before the UN partitioned it in 1948.
Prior to the 1917 British Mandate in Palestine, Jews made up 6% and Arabs the remainder. By 1948 it was 33%, so in 1930s there were a fair number of Jews: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/27/palestine-and-israel-brief-history-maps-and-charts
Deepfakes are being used to personalize political messages in India, here’s a fun article on it which also points out an instance all the way back from 2020: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/20/deepfake-democracy-behind-the-ai-trickery-shaping-indias-2024-elections
It also mentions using deepfakes to target constituencies speaking different languages, to defame opposing parties, and even creating deepfakes to cast doubt on legitimate videos:
Ahead of the state election in November, the caller requested that Jadoun alter a problematic but authentic video of their candidate – whose party he did not disclose – to make a realistic deepfake. The aim: to claim that the original was a deepfake, and the deepfake the original.
I imagine the photographer asked, and this was specified with the image wherever OP got it from.
If that’s what he’s doing, he still wont sink money into Twitter forever.
