"They stole my face... my identity... I don't remember who I was three years ago." This is Lucy. Her life changed utterly after she became a victim of deepfake image abuse. Forced to move jobs & home... change every aspect of her daily life... she has a strong message for victims and legislators

Mary Lou McDonald has written to the Taoiseach seeking the resignation of Larry Murrin as chair of Bord Bia.

EU's called Trump's bluff Valerie Hayer, leader of the liberal group: "EU should be prepared to deploy targeted and proportionate countermeasures. The activation of the EU Anti-Coercion Instrument should be explicitly considered, as it was designed precisely for situations of economic intimidation"

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X. The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour. In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

I've signed this petition calling for the government to shut down X for producing sexual abuse images. Will you do the same? my.uplift.ie/petitions/sh... @uplift.ie

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Hello Bluesky!

"There are 200 reports that are being investigated involving CSAM or CSAM-indicative," says Walsh - that's the scale of the investigation underway by gardaí.

🚨 Breaking Gardaí say investigations are underway following Grok scandal. "We have received reports and referrals of content on that platform that is under investigation... the process takes some time... it has to be assessed to make sure it's criminal... the people responsible have to be ID'd"

Love that we live in a world where the federal reserve chair has to make hostage videos on a Sunday afternoon because the dementia addled president is attacking him.

It's a sly way of redundancy without the cost for the company. It's not as if accommodation in Dublin isn't dear enough already. Services under pressure etc. Remotely work is a huge thing for keeping populations in many rural areas, should be a massive issue for Government... but it's not
