NEW: AI engineers & staffers at top tech companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft & others told CNBC that the pressure to roll out AI tools at breakneck speeds to keep up with competition like OpenAI has come to define their jobs, with many ramifications. cnbc.com/2024/05/03/ai-…
This is technical, but really important stuff: the Secretary of State’s decision here will be fundamental as to whether the Online Safety Act achieves its aims and addresses appalling suicide and racial hate forums.

Really sad about the death of Paul Auster. For all the poststructuralist, high concept novels, ‘The Brooklyn Follies’ is the one that sticks with me: a beautiful, understated tale that reaches its conclusion on that sunny September morning in 2001.

Tech companies have realized that their AI models are trained on children and are enabling CSAM so they're going to try to iterate their way out of it regardless of the wreckage 404media.co/tech-companies…
Millions of people are struggling with their mental health right now. Taking away crucial financial support is not going to fix the problem - it will only make this worse. 2/3
I’ve already heard of tech companies insisting on no written outputs in case regulators seek out an audit trail. How will online safety regulators deal with C-suite decisions by messaging app?

Some good news: WattPad removing DMs after failing to tackle grooming. The bad news: the platform continues to be awash with harmful content that encourages & incites self-harm, inc cases linked to child deaths theverge.com/2024/4/23/2413…
It’s exactly six years since our initial campaign secured the commitment to introduce the #OnlineSafetyAct. The delays in getting it on the statute book means children born that week are now at risk of online grooming.

Our @mollyroseorg research shows that almost half of the most engaged TikTok posts relating to suicide, self-harm and intense depression are likely to cause harm. 1 in 8 posts have been linked 1 million times. Product decisions cost the lives of teens like Mason Edens.

Another @Ofcom consultation that tells you how many, but not which, platforms it expects to be in scope of its #OnlineSafetyAct requirements. Are there big gaps? Are the thresholds correct? Civil society will struggle to provide meaningful input with part of the jigsaw
As UK police leadership makes clear, end to end encryption does not create “privacy”. It creates “spaces that are beyond the reach of law” where children can be abused with impunity.

This week’s main takeaway: I’m not sure what bigger warning about the misinformation potential of A.I. we need than its ability to produce hot bearded Zuck
The evidence shows that intrusive forms of parental controls lead to unintended consequences & worse safety outcomes. Here’s @mollyroseorg on our concerns that No 10 are briefing out kneejerk measures that could cause more harm than good thetimes.co.uk/article/parent…

It's bringing it all back to me. This time a few yrs ago we were preparing to flee our home, hoping we wouldn't have to. My secondary age child had to listen to friends at the time excited about starting school, holding the knowledge that he wouldn't be. Still feels surreal.
In Sept, 1 of my children starts primary, 1 secondary. A few yrs ago with 2 of my other children we had this exact scenario. Except neither child started school. It didn't happen. We fled our home & had no school places, no support from LA. Huge milestones, missed. #TheKnock

@_andyburrows @BBCTech @wcathcart @mike_salter I thought this BBC piece was going to be about the millions of kids who use WhatsApp despite ostensible age limitations! If only ...
This is fantastic news. The government will implement the @eSafetyOffice's original roadmap to age verification of adult pornography, which involved a trial of age assurance technology.
Without asking these questions, readers who know first hand the harms WhatsApp facilitates can see what others can’t - just how many people across the world have access to a platform that facilitates child abuse - corporate interest @wcathcart has in mischaracterising UK law
Questions that @BBCTech didn’t ask in this @wcathcart interview: 🔹 why is WhatsApp used 3x more by child abusers than the general population, as @mike_salter has shown? 🔹 why does WhatsApp report only one-tenth of the CSA reports that FB does? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
