@cubeos@hachyderm.io An update regarding AI images, you say, and, in my opinion, pornography, which produces many societal harms, which we can discuss, if you wish.

@cubeos@hachyderm.io You aren't citing what you're talking about. I can't discuss texts I haven't read and/or don't remember. Feel free.

@cubeos@hachyderm.io Half of the world's culture is _not_ pornography. It might not, or it might, depends on the people's choice.

@cubeos@hachyderm.io Probably something in the lines of: "The explicit literary, audio, or visual depiction of sexual subject matter - for sexual arousal and/or gratification."

@cubeos@hachyderm.io Maybe one of my contributions was considered for this document. 🙂

@cubeos@hachyderm.io I don't advocate for a technical solution. I advocate for a legal one - of making pornography illegal.

@clickhere@mastodon.ie @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I agree. It needs a closing. IMHO, VPNs should be always allowed, while pornographic content should be prohibited. Hence, all VPNs would need to do to continue operating is blocking pornographic content. Please notice the footnote: "The content of the document is the sole responsibility of its author(s) and any opinions expressed herein should not be taken to represent an official position of the Parliament."

@cubeos@hachyderm.io I agree. It needs a closing - but most likely not the way you are thinking of. IMHO, VPNs should be always allowed, while pornographic content should be prohibited. Hence, all VPNs would need to do to continue operating is blocking pornographic content.

@AngelicAura@transfem.social Fact-checking this news-piece, Claude says: "## Bottom line Not fake news. The factual scaffolding — the Handelsblatt reporting, the open letter, the Parliament resolution, the underlying DMA proceedings — is all real and well-sourced. But you're reading an advocacy organisation's interpretation of leaked reporting that the Commission hasn't officially confirmed. For a more neutral take, the original Handelsblatt article or the Heise coverage would be better starting points."
