So you're fine with explicit artwork representing what is intended as a person under the age of 18, so long as it's not easily recognizable as an actual physical child? Or so long as we can't match the image with the child? If the art is based on reality, there's someone who's going to match.

Federal law defines CSAM as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor. This includes art, either computer generated or not. Any content that is of an obscene nature and clearly depicts a minor is CSAM.

This is why I asked the question during SLB about how they're moderating this content. They clearly aren't.

@secondlife.bsky.social What. The. Hell. This is still there after over a month. You have a LEGAL responsibility to address CSAM within a reasonable time frame, which in California is a maximum of 30 days. @philiprosedale.bsky.social @lindenlab.bsky.social ADDRESS THIS

One of JK Rowling's TERF friends was just arrested for assaulting a pregnant woman and a 10 year old child. She threatened to post pictures of them on Facebook calling them pedophiles for being at a LGBTQ event.

We told you this would happen.

This is also where communication and dynamics come into play. I'm not one for texting and "good morning" texts sound like a nightmare to me. Which is something I'd discuss and then try and find another way to share/express my interest in my partner that they do find fulfilling as well.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that there’s an ACLU petition specifically targeting payment processors that discriminate against sex workers.

This is what the right truly fears

So did Kokua, which is still a better viewer.

This either isn't SL or not current SL. How can I tell? Because there's nowhere in SL that's this developed and there's not enough abandoned or protected land.

What's self-projecting about my statement? That's a screenshot from the marketplace ad. Maybe the person who created them didn't intend for them to be considered as child avatars, but she did word them as such.

Either way, it'd be awkward AF to see a Dinkie while someone else was getting it on.

Things you should only have to do once in a lifetime, if that.

July 4th, Independence Day, was the original No Kings Day.

Now it's firework celebration day.

Let's bring back the original intent of the 4th this year.

Wasn't Independence Day the original No Kings Day? Seems we just need to actually start celebrating that again instead of celebrating the fireworks.

When the military is used against citizens, citizens will no longer join the military.

We weaken ourselves by oppressing ourselves.

Las Vegas PD stated they'll shut down the protest if any protestors were impeding traffic.

Then LVPD shut down traffic, taking up the entire street for themself, and still denied the 7000+ people from stepping off the sidewalk.

The police are the instigators and issue, not peaceful protestors.

They are marketed as "kittens." Kittens are child-aged cats.

Personally, I think Dinkies are awesome. I have one and occasionally wear it. But they do not belong anywhere adult activity is taking place.

@philiprosedale.bsky.social @secondlife.bsky.social Governance is under Patch Lindens purview. And yet he's clearly failing to address concerns or moderate content properly. Why does he keep being protected? Why does he still have a job? If someone can't do the job, you find someone else.

Looking at the avatars at the swimming pool, 50% of the child avatars were wearing RLV collars.

LL is planning to add RLV to the main viewer. There's nothing inherently wrong with child avatars using RLV. But collars? Children. Should. Not. Be. Wearing. Collars.

Both regions are rated Moderate. There should be no sexually explicit material on Moderate, but guess what? There obviously is.

This is why I argued that child avatars should not be allowed on moderate. Some of us try to respect the rules and keep anything sexual private, but clearly not all.

Dear #Secondlife, there IS an issue with child predators and Linden Lab refuses to acknowledge or address.

This is a carefully cropped image of child sexual assault material.

That green skybox? That's a "family friendly swimming pool" where child avatars are 95% naked and wearing RLV collars.

@crush.secondlife.bio Actually had someone TP on to her with a fake Bonnie right when the controversy started. Still suspect that it was her own alt. 😋

We have 12 official Bonnies. Technically, I think there are two more that aren't part of the roaming team and occasionally make guest appearances. But if you search for BonnieBelle you'll end up with HUNDREDS of results. It's the biggest complaint and accusation we receive.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.

There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

For a while we tried to use this rule to report people making fake BonnieBots, but after filing dozens of abuse reports and not seeing any action taken, we gave up. LL is very selective about enforcing their rules. Unless it bothers Patch, even a little, and then you get a week's vacation.

"Impersonation

Impersonation of another user, stealing another user’s identity, or claiming recognition for content created by another user are all strictly prohibited. Additionally, the impersonation of a Linden Lab employee will result in immediate account termination." From community guidelines

It is. "(ii) Impersonate any person or entity without their consent, or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation," From the TOS.

Ooph. Didn't know about that part. Honestly ended up ignoring the whole thing. Part of me was tempted to go grab the paper body, but... Ehh. Was just going to end up being inventory bloat.
