Another "enquiry" or "commission" whose purpose is entirely to service the power-insecurity of a failing government.
French children under 15 should be banned from social media and there should be an overnight "digital curfew" for 15-18 year olds, a parliamentary commission has recommended.

This article was utter garbage.

Repackaged arguments preceded by multiple paragraphs on how child abuse is so awful to prove that the author is not hellbent on fucking kids.

Nobody has an original thought these days. They just write paragraph after paragraph of rehashed arguments that they know won't get them canceled or fired.

What a pathetic world humans have created.

New Texas law aimed at AI imagery leaves anime fans worried

https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/new-t ... d-3250885/
A new Texas law meant to crack down on AI-generated content is already causing confusion among anime fans, with some fearing it could lead to certain series being restricted or even banned.

Senate Bill 20, authored by Sen. Pete Flores, was signed into law earlier this year and officially took effect on September 1. The bill makes it a felony to possess or promote “obscene visual material” that appears to depict minors, whether through real photos, AI-generated images, or animated works like cartoons and anime.
