I wish they'd bring the 'Dislike' button back. π

Then another streamer I liked blew up mid stream that he had less than 10 viewers and started a piity partyβ¦
This seems like the fastest way to go from having <10 viewers to having 0 viewers...
While I agree with the sentiment, that's 2-6 in 10,000,000 images; even if someone was personally reviewing all of the images that went into these data sets, which I strongly doubt, that's a pretty easy mistake to make, when looking at that many images.
You're replying to someone asking if the victim pressed charges in the specific instance you cite. I'm replying to that. What is the disconnect here?
Yes, I understand that you want there to be certain requirements to use recorded footage. That's not the issue at hand. You implied that an Indian immigrant shouldn't have to report (or press charges, specifically) an incident, and implied that it should just... magically be prosecuted, I don't know... that's what I'm trying to figure out - how do you expect these hypothetical laws to be enforced, if not through the normal channels? Just because something is illegal doesn't mean that anyone violating that legality is magically, immediately held to account for it. You're objecting to the already-in-place process for making that happen, so what's your desired solution?
Edit: To summarize the entire comment chain:
You, in OP: The law should work this way.
Reply: "In the UK, it basically already does."
You: "Then how was this perceived violation permitted to exist?"
Reply: "Did the victim report it / press charges?"
You: "They can't / shouldn't have to do that for these reasons!"
Me: "So how is this law supposed to be enforced?"
You: "I already said that it should be illegal!"
That last comment, that's the nonsequitur.
How are you saying it should work? Isn't it pretty much standard that for a crime to be prosecuted, the victim needs to report it, and cooperate with police as part of their investigation?
(Also, 'press charges' does not imply suing someone. Also, citizens don't press charges; the prosecutor presses charges; the 'Do you want to press charges?' question you hear sometimes is really just a shorthand for 'If we press charges, will you cooperate with our investigation and provide us with the necessary information we need to do that, or would we be wasting our time?' It's possible that this works differently in the UK (I'm in the US), but I don't believe it does. If I'm wrong, I'd be happy to be corrected.)
Chances are, unless you made the website yourself, you don't know who made certain decisions; who did specific work; how many people were actually available to do that work; how much pressure from shareholders there was to maximize income at the expense of user experience; any fiduciary challenges faced; or how often you had to overcome the urge to make a worthwhile product to further your goal of fitting as much ad space into a single page as possible (this one is HUGE).
or it took 0 time for us but 1 billion years for everything else.
That's just time travel with extra steps!
So your belief is that "The Government" is stifling discussion on this topic (Like, every government? Of every country? Or is there one overarching government somehow doing this?), yet it's being freely discussed by conspiracy theorists without issue?
What 'intelligence community'? Every country has its own intelligence agencies.
Have you considered that if there were "countless" videos of this happening live, that were verifiable in any way, shape or form, that this would be making international news, rather than being attributed to conspiracy theorists?
It says 'Actual Footage' right on the video - that means it has to be real! It's right there in the rules of the internet - you can't just lie like that!
All I could find on a quick, cursory search was this, from their ToS:
What data consumption requirements apply to the Service?
Comcast applies a monthly data consumption threshold to Xfinity Internet accounts. The company retains the right to trial or adopt a different data consumption threshold or other usage plan for the Service at any time. If we do this we will notify customers and, if necessary, post an updated version of this Policy. You can learn about the data plan that applies in your area by going to https://dataplan.xfinity.com/. You can view your current data usage at any time by signing into your account on xfinity.com and viewing the data usage meter at https://customer.xfinity.com/MyServices/Internet/UsageMeter/. You can also use the Xfinity app to view your data usage.
I don't have Comcast, so I can't get any further details.
Shit like this feels like such a greed-fueled missed opportunity.
Like, I wouldn't mind seeing "Sponsored" locations in Google Maps if it was only shown when I was searching for that thing (like, I search for gas stations near me, and it shows a sponsored option at the top), and if it came with a discount for me if I go there. I'd take a 2 minute detour to get a slight discount on my gas purchase, for instance. That'd actually make me care about seeing it. As it stands, Google is the only one benefitting, and it makes me actively not want to go there.
