Our Squeezebox is still going as well, but with most using iOS devices at home, we’re not able to control it anymore because the app was discontinued. Does anyone know of a solution for iPhones?

aurea··on Laws hold the porn industry accountable for dangerous content
Recent case of mainstream pornographers being charged with sex trafficking [1].

Also here's a [2012] article about the connection https://www.rescuefreedom.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sla...

aurea··on Laws hold the porn industry accountable for dangerous content
Of course porn websites will say they have advanced measures to moderate content. The reality is that these platforms do host illegal content [1]. Even beyond child pornography, they facilitate the sharing of revenge porn which content-wise might not be considered illegal, so I don't see any way an algorithm would remove it on its own (even a human would probably be unable to do so without additional information). Once that is out, victims are unable to do much about it. Perhaps the original video might be deleted but copies can spread around, even on the same website and are not taken down.

aurea··on Cash/Consent: The war on sex work
> Why does the state have a role to play in a transaction between two consenting adults?

What are you advocating here? There are many transactions in which modern states interfere that are between consenting adults. In countries with minimal wage you could consent to being paid below it, but it would remain illegal. You can consent to being scammed in a transaction, but it remains illegal. Etc. These interference are meant to protect citizens. Just because the transaction would involve a sexual exchange doesn’t mean it’s any different.

aurea··on 'My son spent £3,160 in one game'
It even goes beyond children. I was recently approached by a mobile gaming company that is looking for statisticians for their data science department. The large companies have entire task forces dedicated to figuring out how to extract even more money out of the ~1% that pays in these games. But of course they put it in slightly different terms.
