Summary
The EARN IT Act targets online child exploitation by incentivizing companies to detect and remove illegal content. It applies to all websites, regardless of size, and encourages the use of AI, machine learning, and hash-matching technologies. Concerns about potential overreach and broader censorship exist, as these technologies could be adapted for other content. The act does not specify exact detection technologies, leading to debates about privacy and censorship. If you have specific legal concerns, consider consulting a local attorney for advice.Full Conversation
How does earnit act track what it doesn't like and can that tech be used to censor other things like antiIslamic content or something randomly disliked?
The EARN IT Act aims to combat child exploitation online by holding technology companies accountable for allowing such content.
- The act does not directly track content; rather, it incentivizes companies to implement measures to detect and remove illegal material.
- There is concern that the act could lead to broader censorship due to its vagueness.
Could you please specify your location for more tailored information?
Is it affecting little home-hostwd websites about folk music or only large things like Facebook?
The EARN IT Act applies broadly to all websites, regardless of size. This means both large platforms like Facebook and smaller home-hosted websites could be affected. The act encourages all online platforms to implement measures to detect and remove illegal content like child exploitation material.
Could you please specify your location for more detailed information?
What does it use to detect stuff and can that be used for other taboo content later?
The EARN IT Act does not specify the exact technology to be used for detecting illegal content. However, companies may use tools like:
- **AI and machine learning algorithms** to identify and flag illegal material.
- **Hash-matching technology** to detect known child exploitation images.
These tools could potentially be adapted to detect other types of content, depending on the company's policies.

Gross wouldn't that mean feeding real child porn to a machine?!
Did ai scare you?
The EARN IT Act is designed to combat child exploitation online, but it does raise concerns about how technology is used to detect illegal content. AI and machine learning tools often need to be trained on large datasets, which can include sensitive material. If you have specific legal concerns about this or need further assistance, please let me know!
Ehh worrying about censorship of other content with co as the excuse
It sounds like you have ongoing concerns about the potential for the EARN IT Act to lead to broader censorship. Here are some key points:
- The EARN IT Act encourages companies to use technology to detect illegal content.
- AI and machine learning tools are often used, which can raise privacy and censorship concerns.
- There are ongoing debates about the balance between protecting users and avoiding overreach.
