All hands on deck! Ross explains how the EU Kids Act could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market! youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you"

This could legitimately end Stop Killing Games.

Good morning, Europe! Following the reveal of the potentially devastating EU Kids Act, we'd like to remind you that a 1st step to combat the excessive attack on privacy and freedom is signing the political instrument of an ECI: citizens-initiative.... #StopKillingTheInternet

One topic I don't see being discussed much regarding Sony phasing out physical games, is how digital games sometimes receive updates that REMOVE content.

🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube! YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it! ➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

Part of what this scandal shows is how many constantly-monitored cameras there are in some cities. In this case it's not just livestreams of police cameras. There are cameras from private businesses/clubs/community centers being piped directly to cops in real time: www.404media.co/city-learns-...

The UK government is looking to make legal for AI companies that which any ordinary citizen could be taken to court for. It is on the cusp of approving theft *only* in this case, a truly unequivocal “rules for thee, not for me” scenario. That AI needs such special treatment indicts it utterly.
