Kiinnostava huomata, että Naamiksen tekoäly bännää ja sulkee henkilökohtaisia tilejä, mikäli käyttää Googlen kääntäjää kokonaisen ei-kaupallisen sivun kääntämiseen esim. suomesta englanniksi, ja sitten postaa linkin julkiseen ryhmään. Valitus laitettu kahdelle EU:n alaiselle sivustolle: ACE ja CEAH.

An automated AI message from Facebook, saying that "your facebook account has been restricted from advertising", and "because of inauthentic behaviour or violations of our advertising policies affecting business assets." The message also tells directly that "we used technology to detect this violation and either technology or a review team to carry out this decision", meaning that FB uses AI - artificial intelligence - which randomly suspends Facebook accounts, often without any reason.
Interesting to see that translating a web page (a very innocent one about holiday traditions, no nudity, no religious fervor, no sales or spam) with Google Translate, and posting it to a public group will result for a permanent ban "for advertising" on Facebook nowadays. My appeal is pending.

Textus Roffensis (n. 1120 j.a.a) on 100 vuotta Magna Cartaa vanhempi, ja vanhin säilynyt englanninkielinen lakikokoelma. #medievalsky #keskiaika #history #historia

A stunning treasure of legal history to read about on my way home - The Textus Roffensis - a medieval 'legal encyclopaedia' containing some of the oldest English laws

Oh my goodness! 🥰 Your LJ was one of the best ones - if not the best - when I was an active re-enactor. I also quote your "history is fragile" text often at my work - I work in a museum, with the textile collections. Nothing big or fancy, but correct representation (and context) is still important.

In fact, I have promptly blocked them on Facebook, too - I even blocked one of my (former) friends, when she started dating one of them. They are not worth of my (or anyone else's) time and effort.

(copying myself from upthread) I'm reminded of this dialogue from the Greta Garbo classic, "Ninotchka", 1939 (just replace Russians with Americans):
Buljanoff: How are things in Moscow?
Ninotchka: Very good. The last mass trials were a great success. There are going to be fewer but better Russians.

A fashion magazine cover from 1920s. The illustration is a drawing of two women, dressed in knee-length dresses (one orange, one plaid), cloche hats and fur-trimmed coats. The title says: Fashion Service - Woman's Institute Magazine. Under the illustration there is text: Daytime and evening modes. Paris fashions - Fall millinery - Children's ensembles - French beauty - The informal dinner - Hallowe'en. Woman's Institute of Domestic Arts & Sciences. October 1927.
Fashion Service, October / lokakuu 1927. The magazines were provided first as a quarterly review in the Fall Winter 1920 issue, and later in 1927 as a monthly magazine. Tätä amerikkalaista muotilehteä julkaistiin ensin neljä kertaa vuodessa, ja sitten kuukausittain. #fashionhistory #muoti #historia

A photograph of dozens of riot policemen surrounding a lone figure, who is dressed in dervish clothes (a long robe and a tall, conical hat) and a gas mask. The police is spraying the lone figure with pepper spray from several directions, causing a white mist around the demonstrator, giving them an aethereal, otherworldly look. The photograph is like a mixture of Renaissance and cyberpunk.
"Beneath this mask is an idea Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bullet-proof."

Exactly. "“They appeal to our sense of belonging and storytelling,” Rutherford argues, “But they were specifically set up in order to harvest people’s genomes: the densest amount of information that exists in the known universe.”"

Likewise. Never trust the corporates! All of my old RPG friends are very skeptical towards anything like this.

Suomen ulkoministeriö (UM) on päivittänyt matkustustiedotettaan Yhdysvaltoihin: viisumilla ei välttämättä pääse maahan.
The Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs has updated its travel information to the United States: a visa does not necessarily give you access to the country.

Translation: "Hate speech, gender equality, climate crisis, diversity.
These are examples of words that American diplomats are calling for to be removed from UN documents.
An expert, who knows the world organisation well explains. A UN official interviewed by Yle tells of similar experiences."
