We spent long time studying the question "does training data filtering help prevent generative models from generating unwanted content?"
TL;DR: Nope. In some cases it slightly increases difficulty but not enough to prevent even average users from finding ways to create what they want.

It's Putin's plan--weakening democracies--Trump is just the paid lackey..
Trump's goal is to turn this map red. "Europe's center is barely holding — and Trump plans to blow it apart. Despite recent election wins for moderates in the Netherlands, Germany and the U.K., the far right is stronger than ever." www.politico.eu/article/euro...

We could stop having any relevant conference in the US until the rule of law is reinstated, please.
Can we stop having most big hacker conferences in the U.S. please, as only people who support Trump publicly will be allowed into the country from overseas.
Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.
