This episode of Disconnected covers:

The EU approach to child safety that’s exposing all our messages
Whether Meta has ‘given up’ on security and content moderation

Episode Highlights:
“With some clever text prompting and a couple of images uploaded, you can generate some amazing stuff. So yeah, it's really scary times for all of those creators.” - 4:50 - Jason Kapadia
“Think about the creatives defending their industry as anyone would - will they say nothing defeats human creativity? Or will they embrace AI as something that goes hand in hand?” - 9:25 - Jag Sharma
“I obviously support what the EU’s chat control law is trying to achieve, but there has to be a better way without opening everyone’s chats up to all these companies.” - 18:15 - Jason Kapadia
“Prior to a couple of years ago, I think most of the social media companies were proud of their content moderation efforts. Since Twitter/X touted the free speech rhetoric, it’s almost uncool to be content moderating all the time.” - 25:30 - Jason Kapadia
“Do I think that the social media companies can be trusted to regulate themselves? No. But who would do it?” - 36:10 - Jag Sharma
