New policy from Meta on ads using generative AI includes audio, image and video, and both synthesis and manipulation.

Prequel to updating broader deepfake policy (checks notes... from Jan'20) solely focused on putting words in someone's mouth deepfakes?

In 2012 I did Tedx on critical need for visual anonymity tools seen via our work with Guardian Project on ObscuraCam (1st mobile phone based blurring app). The organizer didn't like idea and never released 🤷‍♂️. We went on to get YouTube to intro tool: good to see mainstreaming now

Due to the new EU Digital Service Act (DSA), Twitter had to disclose the number of its staff working on content moderation issues (2294) and their language skills.

It is even worse than what was expected.

Identity protection can be life saving for defenders. WITNESS raised the need for visual anonymity 12 years ago + advocacy of colleagues & @samgregory brought face blurring to Youtube in 2016. We're now looking at for this purpose: youtube.com/watch?v=dXDjkH…
