UK Trial: Pornhub's Chatbot Halts Millions from Accessing Child Abuse Content
Every time someone in the UK searched for child abuse material on Pornhub, a chatbot appeared and told them how to get help.
A trial program conducted by Pornhub in collaboration with UK-based child protection organizations aimed to deter users from searching for child abuse material (CSAM) on its website. Whenever CSAM-related terms were searched, a warning message and a chatbot appeared, directing users to support services. The trial reported a significant reduction in CSAM searches and an increase in users seeking help. Despite some limitations in data and complexity, the chatbot showed promise in deterring illegal behavior online. While the trial has ended, the chatbot and warnings remain active on Pornhub's UK site, with hopes for similar measures across other platforms to create a safer internet environment.

Incredibly stupid and obviously false "think of the children" propaganda. And you all lap it up. They're building aroubd you a version of the panopticon so extrene and disgusting that even people in the 1800s would have been outraged to use it against prisoners. Yet you applaud. I think this means you do deserve your coming enslavement.
-
The panopticon is... a chatbot that suggests you get help if you search for CSAM? Those bastards! /s

Classic slow boiling frog response. Enjoy the stew

I keep asking myself why I haven't blocked lemmy.ml
I keep telling myself I'll lose ideas or comments from the good users there...
At this point, I'll have just blocked all their users individually
-
I held off instance filtering lemmy.ml for months for all the reasons you mentioned but I finally gave up I did it 6 weeks ago. It made a marked improvement in my Lemmy experience so I'd advise to just do it.
-
I strongly encourage you to block with abandon
-
you got any more of them blocks?

How is this building that?
Like I'm a privacy but and very against surveillance, but this doesn't seem to be that. It is a model that seems like could even be deployed to more privacy friendly sites (PH is not that).
-
In context, each paver in the road to hell seems just and good intentionned
But after all we've been through, falling for this trick again, it's a choice. Maybe they think, this time, they'll be the ones wearing the boots.
-
But how does this at all enable anything to worry about?
-
Normalizes using AI to profile user's search history in a non-anonimous way. People used to say, if I die delete my browser history. Now they're glad caretaker AI are keeping an eye on everyone's search. Soon we won't be able to take a shit with AI knowing what we had for diner. But hey, THINK OF THE FUCKING CHILDREN
-
They already have this data, they already used AI over it, they already sell it. Thats their business model.
I agree that's an issue, but its not specific to this nor is this dependent on this.
-
Yes, this is not new, it is just about normalization and testing the waters for backlash before they do something, less whiteknightey with it and they don't manage to keep it out of the news.
