as part of a crackdown on user-uploaded content after two major payment processors suspended service.

Thats all you need to know.

“This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute,”

Are they advocating that non-porn social media require proof of identity to register? That's dumb.

Pornhub appears to have wiped out more than 10 million videos as of this writing.

That's a lot of quality content.

True. I think most people would be filing bankruptcy if hit with an unexpected $72,000 bill.

I guess the lesson learned is that if you're going to sign up for a free trial that requires a credit card, use a pre-paid VISA or use something like a privacy.com (or similar site) virtual card so you can set the maximum limit.

Ai doesn't exist and never will. The only AI is programmed. Humans are the only AI. We are far from learning the brain. Also the market is literally gambling, your also putting dollars into banks that use the interest against you. The reason bank sneed that amount of money is bc money doesn't exist and is an artificial scarcity. They ned billionrs, if a billionare gave up the money to give food, the money would be worth much less, and the billonaire is used to create the artificial scarcity, it's like the reservoir. Billionaires cant actually spend an money, they are cuks.

The part that got me:

When he slipped through the back door of a strip mall, exited through the front door and ran down the sidewalk, it caught that, too.

How? How did they get that, too?

Are they able to narrow down SSID's of mobile devices on-the-fly to possible suspects so they can more easily follow them in a crowd, or if they go into a building and out a distant exit? It simpler facial recognition?

Each drone — including long-distance cameras, other sensors and software — costs the department about $35,000. But the overriding cost of the program lies in the many officers needed to operate the drones.

I'm curious what the "other sensors and software" is. Telephoto lenses and stabilizing gimbals on hobby, home made quadcopters / multi-rotors are nothing new. I was building these some years ago before "drone" was the accepted everyday terminology of a RC multi-rotor. Makes me wonder what they have access to...

The revelation this week of Huawei’s role in testing artificial-intelligence surveillance technology — including a face-scanning camera system that could send a “Uighur alarm” to police if it detected a member of the minority group.

I'm surprised there isn't as much global outrage over this (and well, a lot of the stuff China does and continues to do with little care from the global community.)
