veniasilente , in Clearview AI is Offering a Stake in Its Company to the People Whose Photos It Stole

Some guy robs you and since they can’t pay the settlement bill for robbing you, they are offering you a stakeholder position in their further crimes?

Here’s the thing: everyone but you would be an accessory, so you can sue everyone who got stonks. Settle for getting their stonks, and you get 23% of (what was) the company.

@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

I’m beginning to think that maybe Supreme Court justices can’t be trusted to manage their finances without outside help and supervision. Perhaps any expenses need to be monitored and the sources verified, and getting money from outside needs to be prosecuted under bribery laws, independent of any “ethics” guidelines.

And are these gifts being taxed? If not, then the IRS needs to get involved. I don’t get things given to me that aren’t considered income by the tax department, except small things from family. So now we have tax evasion.

The laws are there, enforce them. These unethical fucks aren’t immune.

It should be revoked upon conviction in the same filing. It isn’t, which creates a delay and that is a problem. They shouldn’t be pursuing it, it should already be revoked and a sheriff or state police should have taken it from him after conviction.

@tal@lemmy.today avatar

I don’t think that avoiding vaccines is a very good idea, but I only really care about it to the extent that it’s a risk to other people.

With COVID-19, there’s a major risk in that a dangerous disease is rapidly spreading and there’s a major concern that hospitals may get overwhelmed, leading to death rates spiking. Not being vaccinated was a serious risk to other people.

In this case, according to the article, only 1.4% of the people involved had been fully-vaccinated. Even if every single case was a result of an infection from someone who wasn’t vaccinated, virtually all of the people who are being hurt are either not vaccinated or only partially-vaccinated. There is no risk of hospitals being overwhelmed.

It’s not zero-impact on other people, but that impact is pretty limited in this case.

In general, my take is that people should be entitled to a warning, but if they still want to do something to themselves that is a really bad idea and the impact is pretty much on them, well…

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

, but I only really care about it to the extent that it’s a risk to other people.

It’s almost always a risk to other people. I can’t think of a vaccine that is for a non-communicable disease. Not getting vaccinated means you can become a carrier or get sick and spread the illness. This means that herd immunity is lowered and people who can’t get the vaccine, or those who did but whose bodies didn’t adapt to it, are vulnerable to that person spreading it. Not getting vaccinated can mean you are liable (not legally) for other people’s deaths!

Traister101 ,

Tetanus? Least I didn’t think that was contagious

scutiger ,

A chickenpox infection lingers in the body and can surface years later as shingles, which can be debilitating, especially for older adults. Having personally had shingles as a teenager when it’s not dangerous, I can assure you that you don’t want to get it because someone else refused to get vaccinated. When I had it, vaccines for chickenpox and shingles didn’t exist yet.

I can’t really endorse literally forcing vaccinations, but penalties for not being vaccinated are ok in my book.

StaySquared ,

Why would you vaccinate against chickenpox, unless you mean for adults? Children should just be exposed to it.

And I’m not going to pay any penalty for refusing to put some research chemical into my body.

scutiger ,

The chickenpox virus persists in your body and can surface decades later as shingles. Look up what that experience is like if you want. I can assure you it’s not pleasant. Once you get that, there’s no getting rid of it. Children should NOT be made to purposely catch chickenpox. It puts them at rsignificant risk of debilitating disease later on.

One vaccine is effective at preventing both, and there’s no real reason not to get it unless you’re allergic to the ingredients.

StaySquared ,

I guess you’re right. It would be more friendly to vaccinate against chicken pox than to catch chicken pox and be home for two weeks straight. Then the possible shingles bit later on in life.

stembolts , (edited )

maniii ,

I got the smallpox vaccine, so I went through that. Hence my immunity to other cowpox, chickenpox etc.

Varicella-Zoster Virus (Chickenpox) is linked to lifelong shingles flareups decades later and cannot be eliminated.

A LOT of people seem ignorant about this recent medical fact. Its important and get vaccinated!

OldWoodFrame ,

In general, my take is that people should be entitled to a warning, but if they still want to do something to themselves that is a really bad idea and the impact is pretty much on them, well…

This literally is the status quo.

The problem is that the impact is not only on them. There are people who are immunocompromised, particularly the elderly and cancer patients undergoing chemo, and children too young to get various vaccines, and they rely on herd immunity to avoid getting these diseases that might kill them or get them seriously ill or complicate their medical situation. So it’s specifically societies most vulnerable populations that are harmed, which is bad, not to mention the possibility that with enough spread the viruses could mutate and get around vaccines which would threaten everyone else.

And then you have to weigh those real harms against…what, exactly? People just…don’t want to? Because of their incorrect belief that the vaccines are more harmful than helpful?

The government exists to handle externalities like contagion and pollution and caring for vulnerable groups. Arguably, we should be a lot harsher on requiring vaccinations, like how we were on polio. But we aren’t.

    And God damn do I love the hypocrisy on “believing the narrative”. Sure, we listen to the advice of the medical community, but at least I’m not taking my medical advice from a bunch of 4chan incels and facebook-addicted, soccer moms.

    Alteon ,

    Your dumb conspiracy theories are based on fear and cowardice.

    The amount of people that have been “hurt” because of the vaccine is statistically insignificant, and it’s no different than the number of people that would have issues at taking any other “safe” over the counter medicine.

    Your entire belief against has been crafted and pushed by foreign actors, and your just gullible enough to buy into it.

    But your ignorance and pride will never let you believe it. You want to keep being the fool, that’s your prerogative.

    So break the bubble, show us the people hurt by the “poison”. And not just one or two who happened to be allergic. That can happen with peanuts, like my little sister the first time she had them as a child. I had chicken pocks before the vaccine existed. I saw tons of kids suffering because of it. Now I see none except the ones who didn’t get the vaccine and the few unfortunate enough to be near too many of the unvaccinated people.

    Out of curiosity I looked up varicella vaccination injuries:

    Besides a sore arm from the injection, redness or rash where the shot is given, or fever can happen after varicella vaccination. More serious reactions happen very rarely. These can include pneumonia, infection of the brain and/or spinal cord covering, or seizures that are often associated with fever.

    The risk of taking the vaccine is lower that the risk of not taking it. That’s all there needs to be said

    It’s a proven technology. Did you think Polio and Measles just went away on their own? When the polio vaccine became a thing, people lined up around the street to take them because they had firsthand experience with how debilitating these diseases are. It’s quite literally miracle technology.

    People who are against vaccination have been used by con artists who will say anything inflammatory to gain notoriety and money and be on talk shows and sell books. Be mad at the people who fleeced you.

    Now these diseases that have no place in modern society are making a comeback because of it.

    “But evil guvermunt!!!” Welcome to the real world where this has shit to do with governments, this is about medical science. A virus doesn’t give a crap about your opinions about your government. Also: Can you get it in your wooden head that the US is NOT the only country in the world? There are hundreds of other countries.

    Your lack of scientific knowledge is NOT an excuse, your conspiracy brain is no excuse either.

    phoenixz ,

    I really typically don’t wish harm on anyone but part of me would just wish you’d get Polio because then you’d get what you deserve. You would then finally see why people vaccinate, though you’re probably dumb enough to even then, while you’re in an iron lung, talk about how it’s all the governments fault because you know everything that Facebook taught you!

    You are so facepalmingly dumb… I know that’s not an argument is but seriously, the stupid hurts. Literally, here, as millions have died rather gruesome deaths because they believed the same stupid bullshit you believe in, and here you are regurgitating the same slogans.

    I was in a private elementary school for six years with the same asshole teacher who treated me like shit all the time. There were several reasons, but big ones were that I didn’t like sports and I was sensitive, so I cried when something upset me.

    Toxic masculinity fucked me up in a major way and it wasn’t even my own father (who also didn’t like sports and had no trouble showing his emotions) who did it to me.

    It’s a terrible term for very real problem of toxic gender roles. I’m not sure if you meant to imply that these roles are only reenforced by other men, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
