Pornhub Is Banning AI-Generated 'Deepfakes' Porn Videos (vice.com)
On Tuesday, Pornhub told Motherboard that it considers deepfakes to be nonconsensual porn and that it will ban these videos. "Deepfakes" is a community originally named after a Redditor who enjoys face-swapping celebrity faces onto porn performers' bodies using a machine learning algorithm. Motherboard reports: "We do not tolerate any nonconsensual content on the site and we remove all said content as soon as we are made aware of it," a spokesperson told me in an email. "Nonconsensual content directly violates our TOS [terms of service] and consists of content such as revenge porn, deepfakes or anything published without a person's consent or permission." Pornhub previously told Mashable that it has removed deepfakes that are flagged by users. Pornhub's position on deepfakes is similar to statements made by Discord and Gfycat, and in line with its existing terms of service, which prohibit content that "impersonates another person or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person."
To take issue with the subject at hand. This is a free speech issue but you still cannot slander. This I would put in the same category. As to the rest of your comments, best ignored (enough political tainting of threads already.)
You can't handle the truth! - Because I don't post left all my comments get modded down, bye bye Karma.
Example :
Trump is bad for just about everything, economy, environment, people etc. People want to argue about this even though it is obvious.
Javascript is the best scripting language. People still want to pretend it is terrible because it took over because it was so good.
I'm sorry but your examples are not as `obvious` as you think. Opinions differ, for a reason.
I'd not vote for Trump, but i also don't think everything he does is wrong. And actually, how he is pictured here in Europe is only testifying non-objective press.
Same for javascript. It's popular because it filled a niche, and came at the right time at the right place. Apart that it indeed is a horrible language.
Things are not always perfect. Things not always have to be perfect. And any/most downsides have an upside. Trump got chosen cause a majority voted so. Javascript got popular despite a truckload of flaws. Climate change is politically abused as argument by all sides. Money and subsidies gets wasted while civilians have to pay up with unneeded taxes, while leaving the real big polluters untouched in the name of economy. Green electricity is often a farce and only consists of purchased certificates. It is very hard to find an objective truth, and surely it's less 'obvious' than you pretend it to be.
2 off-topic cents.
On-topic: they (pronhub) better not try to be holier than the pope or they'll lose a lot of visitors.
A glitch a day keeps the bugs away.
You are using an algorithm to appropriate the likeness of another person without their consent. The wording they've chosen, intentionally or not, makes it sound more like rape when it's really just a matter of defamation and IP infringement.
The need to shoehorn every sexual matter into "consent" to determine the moral qualities is like how everyone goes "muh dumbocracy" over everything they don't like that a legitimately elected government does. These terms get so overloaded with rhetorical baggage that they become meaningless.
I love how every shitty company and their dog always point to their ToS like it's the word of god.. As if anybody gives a tiny rat's ass about them.
A pair of handcuffs are harmless...until you find them on your wrists.
Same goes for ToS. No one gives a tiny rat's ass about them...until you find yourself standing next to a lawyer in a courtroom spending thousands defending your ignorance regarding their word of god.
