Any platform that doesn’t openly advertise (and have an owner who openly donates to the campaign of) one particular candidate. I would not expect to find any self respecting journalist to have an account on Truth Social for instance. Being on either platform directly contributes to the election campaign of Donald Trump.
I can hear the internal justifications of the “journalists” still using the platform.
Nah. This isn’t guilt by association
In her decision, the judge said that the plaintiffs may proceed with their lawsuit, which claims social media companies — like Meta, Alphabet, Reddit and 4chan — ”profit from the racist, antisemitic, and violent material displayed on their platforms to maximize user engagement,”

Whenever I read or see the media complaining about social media I think of this https://theoatmeal.com/comics/reaching_people
Community groups suffer for the same reasons.
Now I wish I could remember what the nonsense I replaced all of my content with before I deleted my account.
And that’s the thing to expand on my other comment. Kids are who are restricted from access to devices and the internet are at a complete disadvantage to those that aren’t. But it does need to be monitored by parents.
I’ve heard of both sides from my own kids. There are kids who have been totally restricted who have secret accounts on social media and kids who had no restrictions who had social media accounts that were completely public when they were nine.

Yes and it’s exactly the sort of thing that has happened before and will happen again. In fact it is so likely that you could probably create an CEO AI that starts firing or hiring depending on market conditions and give the bonuses to the workers instead.
It’s not trolling it’s bullying. You need to think beyond this being about “porn”. This is a reputational attack that makes the victim more likely to be further victimised via date rape, stalking, murder. These things already happen based on rumours, deepfakes images/videos will only make it worse. The other problem is that it’s almost impossible to erase once it’s on the internet, so the victim will likely never be free of the trauma or danger as the images/videos resurface.
Of course they fucking did. Like the tobacco companies knew their products caused cancer. Like the asbestos companies knew their products caused cancer. Like the fossil fuel companies knew their products caused climate change. Like the food companies know their processed products are the cause of the obesity epidemic.
The CEO’s earned their bonuses the share holders earned their dividends and the bean counters and lawyers worked out hiding the truth would cost pennies to the dollars they made in profits in the eventual lawsuits and they’d have already cashed out anyway leaving others to hold the bag.
