YouTube has been getting much worse lately as well. Lots of purported late-breaking Ukraine war news that’s nothing but badly-written lies. Same with reports of Trump legal defeats that haven’t actually happened. They are flooding the zone with shit, and poisoning search results with slop.
Disagree. Without Section 230 (or equivalent laws of their respective jurisdictions) your Fediverse instance would be forced to moderate even harder in fear of legal action. I mean, who even decides what “AI deception” is? your average lemmy.world mod, an unpaid volunteer?
Just make the law so it only affects things with x-amount of millions of users or x-percent of the population number minimum. You could even have regulation tiers toed to amount of active users, so those over the billion mark are regulated the strictest, like Facebook.
That’ll leave smaller networks, forums, and businesses alone while finally giving some actually needed regulations to the large corporations messing with things.
I think just the people need to held accountable as while I am no fan of Meta, it is not their responsibility to hold people legally accountable to what they choose to post. What we really need is zero knowledge proof tech to identity a person is real without having to share their personal information but that breaks Meta’s and other free business model so here we are.
It is time to start holding social media sites liable for posting AI deceptions. FB is absolutely rife with them.

It’s a threat to free speech.

Also, it would be trivial for big tech to flood every fediverse instance with deceptive content and get us all shut down

Sites AND the people that post them. The age of consequence-less action needs to end.
Or more like, just the people that post them.
