Tech-facilitated abuse is being minimised while women live with the trauma. Collective Shout campaigner @reneechopping centres the voices of women living with image-based abuse and calls for it to be recognised - and addressed - as serious sexual harm. collectiveshout.org/no_one_touched…

'A group of three teenage girls, two of whom are minors, filed a lawsuit on Monday against Elon Musk’s xAI artificial intelligence company alleging that its Grok image generator used photos of them to produce and distribute child s*xual abuse material.' theguardian.com/technology/202…

Louis Theroux’s newly released Netflix documentary ‘Inside the Manosphere’ is already generating intense public debate - not just about what it shows, but about what it leaves out. For good reason. Read our take on it here: collectiveshout.org/-inside-the-ma…

If there was any doubt @amazon was aware of illegal CSAM on their platform, CEO Andy Jassy blocked campaigners who flagged the issue with him.

Before and after: How child sex abuse doll sellers on @amazon attempt to conceal the childlike nature of their dolls Childlike face + pigtails giving it away? They just crop them out of the photo. They haven't stopped selling the replica girl doll, they're just being sneakier about it. @CollectiveShout

People ask me all the time about compelling use cases of AI. Here’s a good one. Millions of dogs go missing in the U.S. every year—and options for finding them are often painfully limited. Our Ring team saw an opportunity to use our community and technology to help, so they built Search Party. When a pet owner posts about a lost dog in the Ring app, nearby participating outdoor Ring cameras in the neighborhood begin looking for potential matches. If yours spots what might be the missing dog, it lets you know. You see the photo alongside footage from your camera, then can choose to share the video with the pet’s owner. The AI is trained on tens of thousands of dog videos so it can recognize different breeds, sizes, fur patterns, body features, unique marks, shape, and color. And privacy stays in your control—you decide each time whether to help. The impact is energizing. Search Party has helped bring home 99 dogs in just 90 days—more than a dog a day since launching three months ago. Ring customer Kylee was blown away by Search Party after her dog Nyx was found by a neighbor’s camera just 15 minutes after slipping through a tiny hole he’d dug under her backyard fence. When a Ring customer and military veteran named Kurt realized his service dog was missing after jumping his fence, he worried he might have lost her for good. He quickly initiated a Search Party in the Ring app asking neighbors to help locate her. Later that day, he got the notification he was hoping for…Lainey was found. Chris, a Ring camera owner, helped reunite another lost dog with its family after getting an app alert that said, “Your camera may have spotted a missing dog,” flagging footage he wouldn't have otherwise noticed. And the list of stories like these keeps growing. Now we’ve expanded this feature so that anyone in the U.S. can start a Search Party through the Ring app, even without a Ring camera (lost pets are one of the most common posts in the Ring Neighbors app—over 1M last year alone). With roughly 90 million dogs in the U.S., think this is gonna matter for a lot of families. Good example of real-world impact, and proud of what the Ring team has built here. aboutamazon.com/news/devices/r…
