I wanted to see one of these awful videos for myself, so I went to Google and started typing "Facebook baby in oven" when Google suggested to add "how long" 😂
post
Is a video of a baby roasting in an oven even illegal? In general, are videos of violent crime illegal?
This. People reaaaaally don't like that point, but video/fictional stuff should not be held to the same standard as actual, living people. Otherwise, we can kiss goodbye to 90% of the entertainment business. Movies, books, video games, pictures, all of those should be allowed to depict stuff, if only to criticize it.
Unfortunately, too many people think that if they don't want to see something, no media of it should exist.
It would be very different if actual people were used, or even just their likeness, because then it actually can cause harm and distress. But this? People wasting their time defending pixels are doing only one thing: not defending actual people.
I don't think that was the point of the comment you replied to.
The point is that even if it was a real video, it's not illegal. Just like a video of 9/11 is not a terrorist attack nor is it illegal, it's just a video of one.
I'm so mad that ai generated objectionable material is considered fine because it isnt illegal but someone draws a werewolf with its dick out and it gets removed for "promoting beastiality"
Source: involved in a lot of NSFW furry artist communities and constantly see peoples work being removed, flagged, or accounts lost for less.
Ah but you see, when something is hot it makes closeted conservatives uncomfortable.
You see the problem? To a conservative, nothing is more illegal than making them personally uncomfortable. And nobody is more inherently conservative than a billionaire media mogul.
Why are you deflecting to illegality? Meta removes tons of posts that are completely legal when they don't fit into Meta's political agenda
It is perfectly legal for Meta to remove content they find objectionable. WHICH content they find objectionable is what is concerning. Tits? Right out. Baby killing? Stay.
Try to make a video of Zuckerberg roasting and see how fast it will be taken down. Double standards much?
If fake babies roasting in ovens was a bad thing, how come The Sims never got cancelled? 🤔

SIGNIFICANTLY less realistic
Only someone who regularly roasts babies on the barbie would know this 😉
People called DOOM realistic when it came out in 1993.
you know how to make them care?
start generating AI videos of rich people roasting in ovens.
People who use facebook are fucking nuts..
I'm going to agree but also point out that this notion that Facebook is somehow the coalescence point for the world's jackasses is totally delusional.
The world is filled with morons, spend 5 minutes on any platform and you'll see that.
There is nothing special about the younger generation and the apps they use, they are just as fucking ignorant as the Facebook users. I mean really, spend a few minutes on any social media app and you are bombarded by the pointless thoughts of every jackass who's ever felt they had some magic idea they just need to share.
Let me see if I have my pedo-billionaire glasses tinted correctly:
School shootings are caused by violent video games, teenage depression, and propping doors open. But promoting Nazi-fascist ideology while posting videos that dehumanize others? All good!
"Meta Is Refusing to Remove AI-Generated Facebook Videos of Graphic Child Abuse, Including a Baby Roasting in an Oven"
The future fucking sucks.
I’ve already moved off it, Mastodon is a much nicer feel. In fact I try not to use anything Meta including WhatsApp.
I'm trying to cure my immediate peer group by introducing and promoting Signal over Whatsapp. It's an uphill battle.
hint: is the baby roasting in oven video accompanied by a hasbara/description of "this is what hamas/palestinians do to Israeli babies"?
They only care about engagement and growth. Damage to our social fabric, psychological disruption, hardening of positions, suppression of critical thought, encouraging anger .... Fuck it!
Make the next video include Donald Trump as the abuser and his own children's faces as the babies.
Watch how fast that shit gets taken down.
Wow. They don't want to offend the manosphere that's been making nazi jokes for ten years now. Ha ha, killing people in ovens, isn't it funny? /s
Suckerberg is such a piece of shit.
Really? I've reported literal attempts to encourage violence against people, and its NEVER against community standards
Hence why in Australia, going to be super happy if the law passes to allow us to forcefully only show things we're subscribed to.
There's going to be so many right wing ragebaiters getting upset
Facebook never cared about actual child abuse and sexual exploitation. why the hell would you expect them to give a fuck about AI generated child abuse.
If they don't care, make them care. That's what courts are for: make criminals feel the law.
The U.S. courts? I wouldn't hold your breath.
When I still used Facebook would regularly report imitation sites and posts pretending to be national news outlets as impersonation and misinformation. They would never do anything about it. On Instagram I’ve reported openly hateful accounts calling for violence against groups, as their account name or bio and it doesn’t violate their TOS according to the responses I’m getting.
Obviously this is true when Epstein's client list couped the government.
Everyone is fine with it
Unpopular opinion:
There are actions that are illegal. Recordings of those actions is illegal. Generated material counts as art. Also movies count as art. If those show an illegal action, it is not illegal. It is art. And should be protected, whether you like it or not. Same category as freedom of speech.
Generally that's still true. No one is being persecuted by the government over this. But Facebook is not the government, and is within their rights to remove objectionable or distasteful material.
Give me a break with this free speech stuff, as if meta isn't constantly deleting "legal" posts it doesn't like for political or social reasons.
This has nothing to do with legality, it's a question of morality. Meta isn't the government and we can absolutely call them out for their immoral policies.
Moderation is completely fucked. Tried reporting shit and nothing ever happens unless one is a business tycoon, a celebrity at the level of Taylor Swift, or a government affording to formally file a complaint.
Damn, so much for "protecting the children" ig
meta - another state run media. fox. sinclair. spectrum. twitler. etc. They do the state's bidding (trump) and the state says "do what you will".
media control = control of the masses. there's nothing new or revolutionary about the idea, but it happens at the speed of light now. True or not.
