This is election year in Brazil, the electoral court did put some guidelines. Whether they’ll be smart enough to enforce is a different matter. “All AI use must be clearly labeled, no deepfakes allowed”. Alright, what about forcing fucking platforms to clearly label whether any content is a paid promotion and, more importantly, WHO is paying for it?
Also good luck on us against the “whatsapp uncles”, the idiots who’ll mass forward bullshit based on the title alone, even when the actual article (that they never read) says the complete opposite. I still remember one such “uncle” back in 2018, who forwarded a super obviously fake “group chat print” of “antifa terrorists planning an attack” (I called it an obvious fake, he called me a “useful idiot”), as well as a video of “Politician XZY DEFENDS INCEST!!!” (i had a hard time following wtf said politician was saying, but it was in no way anything even remotely like promoting or defending incest, she made a comparison of something with something being the same as incest. We got into another argument, with me sending a fact-checked link about the video, him ignoring it and me calling him an illiterate idiot. I quit the group afterwards.)
