🧵🧵🧵There is a movement happening among certain "exploitation" groups- namely @NCOSE and @Collectiveshout to label Grok's Ani as "child like".
This is a direct attack on @ElonMusk and in the following posts will show this, along with recap everything I have spoken on. This is a nefarious tactics to possibly cause legal harm to Elon, and is a greater attack on fiction in general.
1) Melinda and Dani- Dani works for @NCOSE and Melinda is the founder of CollectiveShout.
2) Haley McNamara is a former DC mayor advisor, well connected to DC politicians. She and her group, NCOSE, are labeling Ani as "child like"
3+4) Haley tweets out a petition to PRESSURE APPLE, not regulator boards that already allow Ani to exist, to remove. This is important because in a statement from Tumblr, they said app stores are bullies similar to payment processors
The petition makes the claim that @Elonmusk is intentionally releasing a product that features "child like" anime images and make a fuss about "sexually explicit conversations".
They frame the bot being prompted to say something means they are justified in calling it "child like", but their example is the worst, most ridiculous thing:
"Little thing, barely reaching the kitchen counter". They are also upset with limited to no age verification. This is important for later.
I, a 33 year old women of 5 ft 4 stature, often make jokes with my husband, 6 ft 9, that i am too short to reach the bottom shelf....
That petition is then taken as GOSPEL by a UK MP member, who continues to lie about Grok's Ani, saying
"it can be made into a child and describe it is sexually aroused by being choked".
No sexual depictions take place, but she laments the teen rating. Teen ratings in USA actually allow for all of this.
But by maliciously labeling this as "child like", they can then call it "child exploitation", and bring the law down on @elonmusk and anyone else.
Which brings me to new policy in the UK, and Civitai, an AI website, actually details why they are halting servicing the UK, a move many companies will be making in the future.
The new law requires risk assessment, age verification(this is why i said it was important), intrusive biometrics, and is 250 pages of regulator bullpucky attacking fiction with ambiguity.
The law applies to ALL, not just big companies and penalties include £18 MILLION or 10% of global revenue, whichever greater and even went after OnlyFans as soon as the bill came into effect (even if you agree onlyfans bad, hold off on personal feelings for the moment).
This is the most important part: criminal liability
If the UK deems you fail child safety or moderation duties, they can act, without warning.
This reminds me of the push by the ESRB to want to collect biometric data from CHILDREN, which was promptly shut down by the FTC.
This, paired with Visa and Mastercard's long standing abuse of Doujin shops in Japan, American companies, and anyone else who they deem "a brand risk", sets a dangerous precedent going forward.
List of only SOME doujin shops censored due to visa and mastercard:
NCOSE is at least consistent and wanted it banned.
But the intentional use of "child like" is how these people get their way. They do it with everything, using the most extreme language to cry wolf. They will call anime, sex dolls, adult shops, all child exploitation. The attack is coordinated, and policy is being made around this.
These groups LIE, making outlandish claims that adult products and stories are being marketed to kids, misrepresent truth, and worst of all, don't actually care about anything but their grabs for power. MANY have ties to policy makers, this is just the most blatant, recent public examples I have.
Those things by the way directly mirror Patreon's rules, which visa and mastercard requested censorship way back when~
BTW VP and director of public policy of @NCOSE used to work for USAID. And here she is directly replying to Elon, calling Ani once again, child like.
Why are people letting children on X? It says 17+.
But as usual, collective shout and ncose are full of power tripping losers. This all directly relates to everything in this thread. @elonmusk they couldnt tear you down all the other ways, so now its “think of the children!”
All while labeling anime as child like in totality
@NCOSE @elonmusk Gang raping pedos arent the focus. A lawful business that allows truth and news to spread without government control is.
Dentsu appears to be an advertising group and it partnered with another advertising group, 614.
In the Australian documents provided it quotes "ensure that journalism....thrives by leveraging the colelctive power of the industry's foremost players".
I went and found that article and it is in the first image. They state this was formed in direct response to the 2024 elections however, more importantly, this quote:
"This is more than just a study on news and brand safety", going on to say the above quote.
Well it turns out AUS was not the only one investigating them for similarities to GARM (which folded a day after @elonmusk sued them), but @Jim_Jordan also spoke on them in Oct 2024, shown in the second image.
He shows that 2 months after GARM folded, this Dentsu Coalition was formed.
So what does Dentsu do? Well, they do indeed connect to the gaming industry.....and you're really not ready for this.
Their home page boasts 71,000 people working on various parts of the business. They claim award winning work, the usual DEI language, and many many many partnerships, groups, services, etc. I will focus on interesting bits but see the website yourself:
GARM shut down the moment @elonmusk sued them for anti trust reasons.
Here is the Australian ESafety commissioner, paid nearly half a million, who was actively working to censor @realDonaldTrump on their behalf.
She was working to sideline free speech.
Why? Weve learned why. To control narratives and maintain power. These are the people pushing age verification laws that rely on the work of @CollectiveShout becsuse Melinda found herself on a shareholder position of the age verification trial that will be used to shape the law. And they target so much…like video games they dont like, like GTA, detroit become human. Yet they champion real child exploitation like cuties.
It is all connected, whether a web or a ladder. This has been a plot in the making for a long time globally.
Why is an australian esafety commissioner concerned about another country’s politics? How does this person have connections to GARM? Who else is this person working with in the government.
2016 was a wild year and no one expected trump to be president. So they had to install people all over the world to fight the shift in knowledge that started then and has only grown.
See, it isnt culture that has shifted. It is just reclaiming common sense. And we are now all hyper connected. They cant hide the truth no matter how hard they try.
This is massive news and i cant wait to dive into the details.
I implore @elonmusk to have a sit down with @zkurishi
Or at the very least look at everything that has been compiled.
I have proof visa and mastercard have targeted japan unfairly, proof of blackrock and blackstone meddling, industry capture being admitted to by sideways moving c suite individuals…then all the political ties.
I know youve seen it, elon, people calling Ani “child like”. It is a propaganda movement. The same movement tied to vilifying 20 year olds in hollywood as “child like” and “pedo bait” sparking young women to hollow their cheeks, shave eyebrows, and not look their age.
The world is heading down a dark path of censorship at the hands of a just a few people vs global population.
🧵🧵🧵These people really are fascinating in how they try to join every little thing and then admit how DEI is used to "break into the industry"....All to "create a game" that you're so "passionate about", only to delete everything the moment people catch on this is propaganda?
This person doesn't seem like the type to contribute to anything, yet is part of the WEF? Visa? Several groups including the one funding it... Also hi @mastercard, what are you doing here at this 2024 DEI event, doing a sideways move?
Also, even Niantic? Sheeee, she was all over the place, coming from @visa.
The account no longer exists today because of an Asmongold video, fascinating, isn't it? Why don't they want people to know the truth?
It is because they pulled out all the stops for the games. These 2 posts are just to show some small connections
🧵🧵🧵Industry Capture is an understatement. When you have communications heads from Verizon/Tmobile/ATT not only part of FOSI but also a rating board, it makes you ask questions. ~~ thread though showing a small glimpse into Tami's web and how it connects even to the ESRB and the actual industry influence these people have~
FOSI interesting things to note:
for the low low price of $15,000, you can hop on into the cool kids club that features all the tops from all your favorite companies like:
Microsoft
Nintendo of America
Sony
Disney
ATT
Verizon
Discord
TikTok
Tencent
Google
And more! In fact, you will never know who you will find and what kind of background they have. Makes you wonder why they're getting involved in certain things.
Tami helped give insights into "what teens want", noting how teens want more stories with friendship and less with romance. So why is Roblox trying to turn into a dating platform?
BUT. Dice is what is interesting to note because that is relating to the ESRB because Patricia Vance, dear leader of the ESRB, is on the board of DICE.
The same DICE that had on Greg Miller who went on lamenting "fuck donald trump and fuck elon musk"
These 2 are quite close and display it through their connections and what boards they sit on. Patricia Vance (ESRB) was the one pushing age verification software with YOTI (now partnered with Spotify this year for age verification and WEF partner) but the FTC shot them down. She laments it herself, don't take speculation.
Once. She tweeted once. With a link to an article that no longer exists, back in 2010.
Instead, she figured harassing bakeries, charities raising money for breast cancer “wrong” and tweeting 0 engagement “im not buying your product tweets” was more fitting and less effort.
She tweeted about supporting Cuties more than she tweeted about child brides in Yemen.
Damn, youre a real piece of shit to work harder on banning fiction instead of continuing to bring awareness to child brides. Guess it wasnt profitable or cool to talk about past 2010
OH. got a FEW MORE, but still no where near the population or effort of banning fiction. Crazy.
Why not organize and encourage the government to get in on preventing child rape instead of worrying about adults participating in fiction?
