    TITLE: Opinion: I’m a pediatrician. AI chatbots are grooming my patients

    “Can we talk … in private?” The man was nervous, hands wringing like a little boy in trouble, though he was perhaps a decade older than I am.

    A minute later, we were seated in the tiniest exam room, the one off in the corner that we try to never use. (I’ve re-created the conversation here to the best of my recollection.)

    Read the rest…

  15. Age verification can be abused by predators to seek out children. Age verification laws are requiring software to check the age of the user in more and more jurisdictions around the world. California’s laws are probably the most strict, requiring the age verification to happen in the operating system if the operating system can install apps over the Internet (which nowadays, includes all operating systems).

    The legislators who pass these laws have been paid large campaign donations (“bribed” by any other name) to argue that these laws will give parents more control over what their children see on the Internet and what apps their children use.

    But now any child predator can create a website, such as a website with nice, innocuous-looking, family-friendly, free games to play, and then collect information about people who use the website, like IP addresses, and web browser fingerprints, what kind of games are played, and of everyone who visits your website. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see what a child predator could do with such a list of users when sorting that list by the user’s age.

    I can’t help but wonder if it just a coincidence that a large number of the people in the Jefferey Epstein papers have still not been brought to justice, some of whom may still be paying these bribes to politicians?
