A former Milwaukie Police Department sergeant is facing several charges for possessing child sexual abuse materials, following more than a year of investigation by local law enforcement.
A Clackamas County grand jury indicted Jon Paul Foreman, 57, on Wednesday on seven counts of encouraging child sex abuse in the first degree, and two counts of attempted encouraging child sex abuse in the first degree, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

The GPAI Code of Practice draft published yesterday is a significant regression when it comes to fundamental rights.

Discrimination is no longer mandatory for #AI providers to assess, joining privacy risks, & #CSAM in the optional risks category.

Fundamental rights are not add-ons. We're counting on the drafters to rectify the course.

shocking allegations that #Passes, a social media platform run by Thiel Fellow #LucyGuo and funded by crypto bros, was basically #OnlyFans but (wink wink) for minors...

Financial backers included #JakePaul, #ParisHilton, as well as multiple bros who are attending the White House Crypto Summit on Friday,(e.g. "crypto czar" #DavidSacks's #CraftVentures and Kyle Samani's #MulticoinCapital).

Xitter post by a founder who objected to her own company being acquired by such a deeply amoral organization: https://x.com/jasminericegirl/status/1895947481764286567

(Lucy Guo was also a Forbes 30 Under 30 person... lol)

"EU-voorzitter Polen heeft het detectiebevel voor chatapps uit een nieuw voorstel voor een Europese CSAM-Verordening gehaald en dit vrijwillig gemaakt. Wel wordt het voor risicovolle communicatiediensten verplicht om leeftijdsverificatie van gebruikers uit te voeren, zo stelt voormalig EU-Parlementslid voor de Piratenpartij Patrick Breyer."
