We have a long way to go in the effort to remove the voices of hatred, racism, and bigotry of all kinds online. Read the latest report on who has experienced ONLINE hate and harassment within the past year and the type they had to endure. Meta is the single worst offender although Twitter is close. Users can force change. #hate #harass #doxing #swatting #stalking #harassment #stopthehate https://www.adl.org/resources/report/online-hate-and-harassment-american-experience-2023?utm_campaign=ohhrep2023&utm_medium=email&utm_source=whole&utm_content=e01

I USA har nogen sat en service på den krypterede beskedtjeneste Telegram, hvor man kan bestille "swatting" - altså et falsk opkald om en farlig situation til politiet - mod bestemte mål.
Det siger sig selv at med det amerikanske politi er det ekstremt farligt.
Vice artiklen er en læsning værd!

#SWATting in #Germany results in #cops ringing the bell, asking if everythng's all right and then asking if one wants to press charges for false suspicion.

#USA #Swatting #AI: "In fact, Motherboard has found, this synthesized call and another against Hempstead High School were just one small part of a months-long, nationwide campaign of dozens, and potentially hundreds, of threats made by one swatter in particular who has weaponized computer generated voices. Known as “Torswats” on the messaging app Telegram, the swatter has been calling in bomb and mass shooting threats against highschools and other locations across the country. Torswat’s connection to these wide ranging swatting incidents has not been previously reported. The further automation of swatting techniques threatens to make an already dangerous harassment technique more prevalent.
Swatting is when someone calls in a bogus threat in an attempt to direct law enforcement resources to a particular home, school, or other location. Often, swatting calls result in heavily armed police raiding an innocent victim’s home. At least one case has resulted in police killing the unsuspecting occupant."
