This is still ongoing for some users if their sub is anything to go by.

accountability is only for citizens not for companies. They will continue to poison us without consequences.
It was definitely a good development to let social media operators make automated “recommendations based on what you seem to like” instead of, you know, letting users decide manually what they want to see, amirite… /s
But surely some kind of automated filter is valuable. SM companies should give users more control over their feeds, like maybe once they have more than X things followed, 80% of their feed will be from things they’ve followed, and the user could override that setting.
There is still social media that lets you see posts made by your friends and people you follow in chronological order coughfetlifecough
Yeah I know, I sort Lemmy by “new comments” and Mastodon obviously only chronologically.
It’s just that the first type of “social media” I ever used (in my childhood) was the web forum and I kinda miss that. :D
It wasn’t that long ago that the world almost ground to a halt because some people saw Janet Jackson’s breast.
Now we have this, and there will be zero consequences.
You mean the US went pearl clutching whilst the rest of the world went “oh… okay, and?”
the world almost ground to a halt
The US. “The world”, at least the part that’s not religious zealots, looked at that, went like “oh, surprise boob” and maybe giggled a bit.
Not even the US. Most people there didn’t care at all. The religious right whipped itself into a frenzy, started a moral crusade and is now supporting a rapist, adulterer and sexuell harasser
Would be quite funny, if it were not so depressing.
She didn’t deserve the hate for an accident that wasn’t even caused by her.
Either it was an accident and wasn’t at fault at all. Or it was a coordinated stunt and Justin owns 50% of it, if other production people weren’t also in on it.
But Janet got shit on because she’s a woman and black and Justin somehow walked away unscathed for decades. Fucked up.
It was a stunt. Janet did the classic porn reaction of seeing her own boob and looking at it incredulously while shaking her head and not trying to cover it at all.
The normal human reaction is covering the exposure at the speed of light.
Correct.
It’s also accurate to say the reaction was over the top. Networks generally have a delay for live events so they can censor stuff like this. It’s not a big deal, just show a fuzzy box or whatever.
Also, I’ve seen a lot more offensive stuff on TV than a boob.
Stunt or not. Only one person got hate for it.
Plus she had like a weird metal thing going around her nipple and breast that allowed for plausible deniability that her tit was out. Definitely a planned stunt
I’ve always found it weird that public indecency laws are often limited to the areola. What’s up with that?
I mean yes but also credited as the inspiration to start YouTube so also the same as it ever was?
Terrible, horrifying. But what kind of porn? Where would I go to see it to verify this?
Lemmynsfw exists… I’m not subscribed to it, but I get boobs on the All feed all the time.
I’m not complaining
funny how everyone seem to be complaining about porn but my all feed is squeaky clean.
wonder if it has to do with the instance we are registered to?
Not complaining haha
But I think a lot if inferences aren’t federated with lemmynsfw. Not sure about ml
Yeah. Mine blocks NSFW servers, probably due to Canadian law (or maybe admin’s preference to not deal with takedown requests). I think that’s totally fine.
So this stuff is always on the platform? Why the fuck?
zucks personal zuckerbank
One more reason I’ll never use Meta social media ever again. I’m not surprised
