There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance.

  • There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.

    The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.

    This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.

    I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.

    I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.

    This is not how we act in the Fediverse.

    @stefano Molto interessante, sarò lieto di defederarlo se non otterrai risposta.🤔

    @stefano I recall VWestlife got similarly hit with a bunch of YouTube channels a couple months ago that were mass uploading AI-generated summaries of his and other people's videos without permission (the videos themselves were just a static thumbnail image and title caption from the original video, with an AI voice reading out the AI-generated summary). He had to file copyright takedown requests to get them removed since there were no human owners to contact.

    @Quinn9282 I think it may be something similar...

    This was the NetBSD story, right? I saw the story too (using the same image as yours), and found it weird.

    Not only unethical and AI-ick, it's copyright infringement. Every author/site of an article they've done this with has a case to complain here.

    It should be able to get this account booted from its instance on this alone.

    @stefano That’s foul play. If it’s easily doable, maybe put up an, um, “special” blog, specifically for this domain? One that it would probably not like being read aloud? Because I assume that the nonconsensual harvesting is done automatically.

    I'm against banning social media for under 16's. Just outright banning doesn't make something unavailable - just unregulated and not monitored. Alcohol and vapes are still common among under 16's - especial those that are vulnerable. I am for under 16's not being allowed on corporate socials though - as they are toxic places which do provably screw with brain development in youth - because of that algorithmic nature. I am considering pitching an idea to a local established non-profit that I sometimes work with, who run a number of local youth clubs across the region. It is an idea of setting up a fediverse instance for 11-15 year olds. An account can only be made in person alongside being a member of a youth club -with parent / guardian consent. It will not be federated to the general social web, and begin as a self-contained bubble - but with the idea of other regions creating the same thing and federating together. It would be moderated by the same volunteers / employees that run the youth clubs and social services - who are fully vetted, and follow the protocols - which already also includes moderating each other. Perhaps even somehow make it so the kids can't post on it during school hours, and after, perhaps, 10pm? There would of course be a set of standards expectations, or community codes of conduct, like here in the Fedi. Perhaps also running regular fun things too, that get kids thinking creatively (like what happens at the clubs anyway). There are of course many many issues with this idea, and I can't see it actually happening just like that. Not only is there unlikely the right fedi project to accommodate needs, but things like the online safety act potentially blocking the ability to create safe community based social networks for youth. And I'm sure there are many other issues as to why this idea might not work either. Like, what happens when someone turns 16? Are they just kicked off? However, I do know that corporate socials are bad - but not providing good safe alternatives when attempting to protect children, actually makes them more vulnerable and unsafe. We need a way to embrace them, not outcast them.#socialban #socialmedia #fediverse #activitypub #youthwork #onlinesafety

    Emphasizing moderation differences and such are things best left to discover after the user successfully lands onto the fediverse. At the start they shouldn't even have to think about what instance they want to land on. We're approaching it with the mindset that they "want to join Lemmy/Piefed" — that's not right! They should want to join a specific community, and the server just happens to be whatever they find first. Let's say I like Star Trek. I shouldn't have to be redirected to startrek.website. I should be able to see the community, think "cool I want to participate", and sign up, even if where I landed happens to be feddit, db0, or a random NodeBB instance.
