404 Media is doing a great job at getting tech companies to moderate bad actors on their platforms, impressive for such a small indie publication. Their reporting directly led to action at two major tech companies this week: Discord shut down the Spy Pet search engine that sold access to user messages. https://www.404media.co/discord-shuts-down-spy-pet-bots-that-scraped-sold-user-messages/
And Apple removed multiple AI “nudify” apps from the App Store.
