This was posted as a PSA to my server by one of my mods and is genuely important. I also watched the video and the guy is doing his best in explaining, which is very neat and good. So I feel safe sharing it.

If you use Discord in any capacity, you might want to at least know of this too.

Well, finished it watching, now. That's the load of bull, I already expected.

It's also important to emphasise that the video "explaining" it is basically spreading propaganda about what Apple does to its users via iCloud. The guy in the video did not mention even ONCE that the algorithms used for this "DNA" are faulty & proven to misidentify perfectly harmless pictures as being linked to this type of horrible crime.

This is another #FuckUSA moment, because being reported for this picture is just dumb as fuck.

If you just send this screenshot, it does not mean you have any relation whatsoever with the video the screenshot was taken from. It's literally just a screenshot.

I have also proof of this idiocy.

For example, there's live footage of American police (#FuckUSA btw.) killing an unarmed man, begging on the floor with automatic rifles.

The first part of this video is freely available & tolerated on YouTube, because it stops right before they start shooting.

The same way, this screenshot itself is harmless. The video where the screenshot was taken from is NOT available, when you just send this one screenshot. Therefore, the screenshot is harmless & must be perfectly legal. It does not do, show or make you do anything illegal. It's a screenshot of a random ugly looking guy. Nobody on Discord probably ever saw the video in the first place, so why ban people for this screenshot.

This is your average US American idiocy.

#FuckUSA, in case, I did not mention it, yet.

It's a normie person speaking to other normie people. I did poke around with image recognition before for a while mainly to figure out how I could make some things more accessible to blind people - which most of my friends are. So yeah, for that context, I think the dude actually did pretty good condensing the issue and explaining where it came from, and what the hints to it were.

The more informed would immediately smell iCloud's CSAM and whatnot - true. But I can send this vid off to someone with no idea about any of this, and it'd be pretty fine.

As for the rest... Goddamn, I did not know of this police footage. o.o Thats just disgusting; "Its fine where we look good, but bad where we don't". So much for "freedom of speech" or whatever. Oh well, nothing I wouldn't expect from that place, sadly, honestly.

I looked up the video, in case you're interested.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Ooa7wOKHhg

I'm pretty sure it's the one, I had watched. I don't want to watch it again, though. Still am shocked by it after such a long time.

If it is that video, it shows the entire scene & the video stops exactly at the moment, before they start shooting. So, you may see his last moments on YouTube, right before collapsing from fatal gun wounds.

The back story is basically, that some moron wannabe lawful idiot reported him to the police about a "rifle" he had, but in fact it was just a gun for playing around. He showed it to everyone & everyone was enjoying this fun toy. The moron wasn't at the party & literally assumed, that everyone on the party must be somehow part of the conspiracy, where everyone just blindly accepts a guy with an actual rifle. This is what the guy calling the police must've thought, else he wouldn't have called it.

Or he did not think at all. Most US Americans call the police whenever they don't understand something. They always presume the worst.

For example, there is another guy who literally walked on a car parking area, without going into a car, so the police was called on him, because it was "unusual". Things like these are the most US American shit there is. #FuckUSA

Well, anyway, I digress...

So, the killers arrive & put the victim into this stressful situation, as seen in the video. They were basically doing some Guantanamo styled power play, right there. So, of course, he made the mistake of moving his hand too quickly, which made the young officer fill him with bullets until the victim dropped dead.

Needless to say, the murderer was never in prison. He just changed his work location & still lives off US American taxes.

That's 'merica for ya.

#FuckUSA

....

Yeah, right, almost forgot my point.

My actual point was, that if this disturbing footage is perfectly legal & even available on a platform, which boss says, that the most important part of freedom of speech on the platform is to restrict content, then a screenshot portraying a horrible person, like the Discord guy, should be legal & you shouldn't be banned for it. Simple.
