  • Reminds me of that TERF social media platform, Giggle, which required a user to show their face to be analyzed by a program to determine if they were “really a woman.” Shock and surprise, the program was prone to false negatives and excluded a lot of cis women from the service.

    Of course, anyone who knows anything about the state of image recognition technology could tell you that it can’t even reliably distinguish between things that actually are different, to say nothing of transphobes’ made up bullshit.







  • Since you brought up Yemen, it’s interesting to compare Google image results for the Yemen genocide and the alleged Uyghur genocide. Search the former and you get pictures of destroyed towns, columns of refugees, mass graves, and starving people. But Google “Uyghur genocide” and it’s nothing but pictures of protests in Western countries. You would think that the Uyghur people, being much wealthier than the Yemenese and receiving much more attention from Western journalists, would have an easier time getting those pictures out there.
