  • Why are you such a weirdo where that’s where your mind goes.

    Sharing positive hits isn’t saying share the images. It’s saying share the data on who what when where how the hit showed up positive.

    Who shared it.

    What was it (this is obviously going to be some kind of CSAM given that’s the tool).

    When did they share it (time stamps).

    Where did they share it (was the same image hit on other runs and what instances did it hit on with the tool).

    How did they do it (local sharing, an image hosting service, etc).



  • The migrant boat sank in the Mediterranean off the coast of Greece. While a tragedy, it’s largely irrelevant to the US news. It’s not like it was a migrant boat from South America going to the US. Those do happen and they become huge news here.

    The Titan submersible happened off the coast of Canada and the US and Canadian coast guards were involved. The company running the excursions is American. That’s a lot more relevant to US news.

    Looking at European news, the BBC has been covering the migrant boat disaster. It’s been reported in US news too. ABC started covering it over a week ago when it first happened.

    It’s also just common, which makes it less newsworthy. Another boat sank in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy in February. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64776621

    When things become common, they’re no longer as newsworthy.


  • There have been plenty of resources dedicated to rescuing the migrants. Over 100 have been rescued.

    A big issue in the news coverage is that the migrant boat sank in the Ionian Sea in the Mediterranean. The Titan submersible was off the coast of Canada. So the news coverage in America largely focused on the thing happening near America. Same with the search and rescue. The US and Canadian coast guards were deployed for the search.

    The Greek coast guard ran the search and rescue for the migrant boat since it happened off the coast of Greece.
