The article discusses key stories from the past month, focusing on a poignant account of Breeze Liu, a startup founder whose life was severely impacted by non-consensual explicit videos and deepfakes. Published by WIRED, the piece highlights Liu's struggle with privacy violations and mental health challenges. While her story revolves around explicit content on major platforms, it also implicates technology companies, notably Microsoft, in broader conversations about accountability and safety concerning digital content. The discussion also touches on Elon Musk's influence on the federal government, revealing a complex web of social and technological issues.
The story that I can't stop thinking about was a piece that was published last week by two reporters at WIRED, Paresh Dave and Matt Burgess.
The impact on her was really profound. She said she lost friends. She contemplated taking her own life.
Interestingly, while some of the videos were shared on the sites you might think of like Pornhub, the company at the center of the saga is actually Microsoft.
I feel like I've been so deep in the Elon Musk, shall I say takeover of the federal government.
