Essentially you'll end up in a #newspaper, #accused of something awful, get #fired and lose access to your #bank ... All because some #algorithm nobody really cares so much about says so. Fuck.#apple is going much further: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0806.s.. Apparently they now #scan user devices for #illegal #content and report to the #police . I can already imagine an attack where somebody sends/serves an illegal image for example, an #iphone #downloads it and then the scan #flags it. #aardvark points at this being a type of #fascism - but in modern times we see this actively being used in #communist Countries like #china ! It's clearly #authoritarian ...
