Could be great links to share over Riot Games streams.

• MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams
• Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard
• Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue

No better publicity than getting their own efforts thrown back at their faces.

MasterCard is running an effective PR campaign against themselves. They can’t stop giving their critics all this gold.

Imitating LLM to piss off AI haters is just next level trolling. As everyone knows, trolling is a art.

But it makes people come off as extremely annoying. So that’s working.

For one, he’s a very public figure.

As is Swift.

maliciously, with intent to harass him personally

Is that the standard? Wouldn’t an act of harassment (as legally defined) rather than only intent of it be a required element?

The argument seems weak for a fake image of a public figure.

but the US first amendment is not absolute

It’s pretty clear: strict scrutiny.

Also, the US is not the only jurisdiction in the world.

Would the jurisdiction for a case between a US citizen & US company not be the US?

That seems recently signed into law (ie, untested in courts) & patently unconstitutional. Would that law prohibit obscene depictions of Trump?

illegal things too

Such as? Violating which laws?

Swift could easily get a lawsuit set up against them and most likely win

How would that work? If someone drew a photorealistic painting of pretty much the same, under what legal claim could Swift “most likely win”?

Direct link: Mastercard rule 5.12.7 Illegal or Brand-damaging Transactions

Tweet of their attempt to deny responsibility: great opportunity to wreck their brand.

Compelling search engines to deindex results, age verification, chat monitoring: stay golden, EU.

I don’t know, man: AI assistants can put out some really stupid code, and whoever wants shit to “just work” doesn’t care how.

If the developers work in a team, those emails may end up going to whomever holds the company credit card who doesn’t necessarily understand/know/care.

Gross irresponsibility wouldn’t be unheard of for an unscrupulous “tech capitalist” who’s better at promoting by overpromising safety & security & rushing out half-baked minimum viable junk instead of properly implementing it.

Still, someone malicious could as easily do the same in an atmosphere of declining tech savvy.

Did they use Tea app to spill tea about the shitty security practices of Tea app? Do they spill tea there about the app’s founder, Sean Cook, and frivolous claims of a safe space that preserves anonymity?

I don’t even think you can do this via the API

Someone never heard of terraform & similar configuration management software? They enable configuration as code, which can be vibe coded. Practically anything online can be configured via API, especially cloud services.

Was this app made by misogynists? Did they “accidentally” fuck up on purpose?

Why not find out?

they can be fooled too.

Makes it harder: when I go to the wrong website, the manager simply doesn’t suggest credentials (it does not have) for it. That causes me to wonder why.

Without a password manager, a user is never prompted to wonder. They’d simply not notice.

The main weakness

is it’s a pain in the ass.

• Won’t generate strong passwords.
• Won’t fill out login forms for me.
• Manual, slower search and copying (worse for dyslexia).
• Increases risk of submitting credentials to wrong site/app (especially malicious ones).
• Increases error of mistyping credentials.
• More effort to back up & retrieve.

(especially) the demographic thereof

Yeah! Fuck the demographic! Still beats reddit nonsense.

physics too hard: nonphysical things can’t kill? preposterous

Basically. Pretending the harm of something physical going wrong (potential to cause real death) is at all comparable to the nonphysical going wrong (a jumble of angry words) is unreal. Lemmy confirms the premise that this discourse & the people spouting it are broken & senseless. The distinction between physical & nonphysical is lost on these loonies.
