A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.

Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s entirely futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.

Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.

SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.

Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.

When a client tells you they’ve done their own research. Either go pro se or shut up and let us handle your mess.

It’s alright, that lawyer is just outside counsel, he was expendable.

It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. People are relying on their parents more than ever, and parents who are willing to help are using this as an opportunity to provide help with strings attached.

Sorry if that came off the wrong way. I more so meant it to point out what I intended in case there was a misunderstanding.

None of this is what I am discussing. I’m talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t quite understand the outrage in the thread. I’ve been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can’t find anything.

From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.

Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven’t done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?

All you do is a quick search on the case to see if it’s real or not. You could easily. We have resources such as LexusNexus or Westlaw which your firm should be paying for. Even searching on Google Scholar should be enough to verify. Stay away from Casetext though, it’s new and mostly AI. LN and WL also have AI integration but it’s not forced, you’re still capable of doing your own research.

I’ve been telling people this for a while, but everyone needs to treat AI like how we used to treat the wiki. It’s a good secondary source that can be used to find other more reliable sources, but it should never be used as your single standalone source.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it, AI is being forced everywhere you look and it is getting a bit difficult to get away from it, but it hasn’t taken over everything to the point where there is no longer any personal responsibility. People need to have some common sense and double check everything as they’ve been taught to do even before AI.

A bit of an exaggeration but a lot of people will never understand that some people do not have much of a social battery left at the end of the day.

I have had so many people including rl friends, exs, or people I used to play online games with fail to understand that I don’t have that much energy in the evenings or even on the weekends sometimes. There’s dealing with my boss, dealing with my coworkers, dealing with people from other firms. Sometimes through teams, sometimes through the phone, sometimes in person.

Clearly they’re just practicing their science, trying to pay homage to Hennig Brand.

I’ve heard people are starting to do this on TikTok as well. I think it says more about us a civilization than anything. This is a clear scarcity/enshittification issue. Everyone wants good value and good quality products. Unfortunately a lot of mom/pop shops that product those products don’t want to expand and if they do end up franchised capitalism’s ever growing desire for increased gains ensures that the franchised products only become worse over time.

Not surprising. Israel had the tech to bug everyone’s phones.

The Israeli NSO group which is a day 1 hacks group developed the Pegasus spyware and found lots of creative ways to get it on peoples phones. They also solid it later on to just about anyone who was willing to pay.
