  • I worked on lots of very large Zoom meetings. After you subscribe to the product, it’s your own responsibility to use the tools provided to moderate incoming users. Zoombombing is only possible with very poorly moderated or unmoderated Zoom meetings. They would have to do several things wrong, and here are some of them:

    1. Not requiring a password to join the meeting
    2. Including the password in the link to join the meeting.
    3. Not setting admin/moderator permissions, allowing any user to take them
    4. Not differentiating the meeting room from the default room.
    5. Distributing the wrong Zoom link, there can be one for attendees and a different one intended for spectators, who should not have audio/video broadcast permissions.

    That’s not all of them, but if this group improperly handles their Zoom setup, the company isn’t responsible because they already provided the security tools and the documentation to use them. At least, that’s my humble understanding.




  • yo? Artificial puberty is a luxury. Artificial puberty can also be healthcare for some people, but again, healthcare is a luxury, and is not guaranteed.

    People will always know themselves better than others do.

    Sometimes yes? I bet some people think themselves to be “stable geniuses” when they’re clearly deluded creeps. I’m also reminded of The Yellow Wallpaper, Available to read here which depicts the internal struggle of a woman with her worsening mental illness. Her autonomy is stripped not only as married woman in the 1800’s, but as an ill person who is literally assumed to be incapable of making her own decisions. It is not only horrifying but phenomenologically significant, and socially relevant, I recommend this short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

    We have the ability to sit every person down before puberty and talk them through what it entails, and then let them choose what exactly they want to go through.

    I’m not sure this is true. We might be able to do this for first-world children whose parents have jobs and insurance.

    I think it’s wonderful that you’re expressing yourself and trying to make a better world.
