"25 percent of kids 9-17 reported having had a sexually explicit interaction with someone they thought was 18 or older" platformer.news/p/the-child-sa…
"57 percent of youth who identify as LGBTQ+ said they have had potentially harmful experiences online, compared to 46 percent of non-LGBTQ+ youth. They also had online sexual interactions at much higher rates than their peers" @platformer
"The platforms with the highest number of minors reported potential harm were Snapchat (26 percent), Instagram (26 percent), YouTube (19 percent), TikTok (18 percent), and Messenger (18 percent)."
"The platforms where the most minors said they had an online sexual interaction were Snapchat (16 percent), Instagram (16 percent), Messenger (11 percent), and Facebook (10 percent)."
I am dismayed by the tech company statements in @CaseyNewton's breakthrough reporting on child safety. Every single platform has stood idly by during the James Charles accusations. Each has prioritized viewership and revenue over child exploitation. platformer.news/p/the-child-sa…
I covered the James Charles accusations here. They're terrible and shocking, and the level of involvement from each of those companies is unbelievable. And even in such a high profile case, there is no accountability. It's an harbinger of Thorn's findings.

Triller has lost its mind: “Triller will pursue the full $150,000 penalty per person per instance for anyone who doesn't do the right thing and pay before the deadline” reut.rs/3b2bvCy
“Triller filed legal action on April 23 in U.S. District Court of Central California against the owners of the H3Podcast website for piracy of the event, and a dozen other sites that restreamed and profited from as many as hundreds of thousands of users each”
Triller has secured itself as a dead meme of an app. The ‘rebroadcast’ angle is a clear cut example of acceptable fair use. They’re targeting the YouTube couple that literally represents the landmark fair use ruling of Hosseinzadeh v. Klein

I slept through the opench.aix.uy drama, but the synopsis of this — and someone can correct me if I miss anything — is that ai-eks used their Clubhouse user token and had a bot join every room, collect the Agora tokens, and plug them into a browser client.
This technical breakdown shows how Clubhouse works. It's a scrappy startup, & there are 3 legs. Clubhouse has their own API for user management. It relies on Agora for RTC audio streams. And less spoken is that the room interactions flow over PubNub events theori.io/research/korea…
Unless I missed something, Clubhouse conversations weren't being recorded by the opench.aix.uy experiments. But, the metadata was indeed being scraped & relayed over the flask service. That's of course a cause for concern for the intimate, ephemeral network.

iOS release notes are always comforting when you have firsts like this. 3 zero-days actively exploited in the wild. 2 involving WebKit. "Apple said additional details would be available soon" techcrunch.com/2021/01/26/app…
The bricked state I encountered didn't end up having to do with the battery, at least obviously so. After a day of wrestling with DFU mode, it was successfully restored. If it attempted to boot, it would endlessly loop; breaking that cycle was hard.
The morning following the mobile Chrome stuttering, the device was very warm — like you would expect from an iCloud Photos daemon. Springboard worked, albeit dropping frames, but third party apps (I didn't test first party) began failing to boot. Upon shutdown, it was bricked.

I expected a show, but it looks like we won’t even get that. The cover-up continues.
