Indonesia is moving to ban LGBT+ content across digital platforms. Activists warn this will fuel harassment and arrests. Urge lawmakers to reject the Broadcasting Bill and defend free expression – censorship is not protection.

As others have repeatedly said - the most common harm of AI-generated images/videos isn't misinformation or political interference - it's nonconsensual porn and direct harms to women and girls

Great update on the current state of AI nudifiers and upcoming regulations and technical solutions
Today on Indicator: 2025 has been a banner year for AI nudifiers. I found another 9,000 ads on Meta since my last report, bringing the total for this year to 25,000. The top 10 nudifying websites got 10 million views in October.
Nonconsensual nude generators had another banner year. What will it take to defeat them?
Deplatforming the companies, debilitating the technology, and deterring the users

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.

What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.

And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Let's talk about books and the public trust.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.
