Adult Film Producer Unmasks Prolific 'John DOE' Torrent Pirate as Meta Executive

You could run them in parallel, like a Zoom or Teams mtg, but with each square a different movie.

Would be more entertaining than the next status mtg.

You are making the mistake of assuming someone can only have one monitor displaying porn at once. Have you never seen a real gooncave?

Since when does every household member have their own residential IP?

Even in single households that's not true (friends visiting, on-and-off partner, one night stands, helping the neighbor out cause their wifi is broken, ...)

And I don't know the logging + data retention requirements for CGNAT.

In cases where the company wifi is open or places like hotels the person who did it could be long gone. Unsecured residential wifi connections aren't much of a thing anymore, but I've seen a lot of people lending out their residential connection when they airbnb their vacation homes to strangers.

Which interviewers you get, vibes, which team is hiring, whether the folks in your hiring bar are grumpy, ...

Best thing you can do is know several people who can act as direct hiring manager.

but i ain't dumb enough to do it off work IPs

you don't need 75k generals or fighter pilots, you need average folks who are going to STFU and get the unfun, unsexy tasks done.

you go trying to hire a Stanford/MIT hot-shot rockstar type and they'll either crash out or jump ASAP once they realize they got nailed with drudgery.

And I’m sure meta paid for some specific content but they generally wouldn’t want to set a precedent where they paid everyone.

- produce your own movies/animation - identity movies/animation from context - identify actors/characters and cross-reference them in other works

You apply these parallels with porn, a more anonymous and intimate setting, and you can see how the kinds of results can be more morally dubious. And that's before getting into if the kinds of porn being trained on is even legal in your given jurisdiction.

If your ethics deem Meta ethical, they probably need recalibrating.

Corporate lawlessness has no good outcomes for humans.

I think that’s more hopium ethics.

Well now I'm hoping this makes it to a courtroom, so that the plaintiffs can ask, on the court record and under penalty of perjury, exactly what he was using that quantity of pornography for. When, how often, and so on. (Not that there's anything wrong or shameful about that, in general, but it would confirm my biases about what executives do all day.)

Thats an assumption. the source is out of date https://vpntesting.com/no-logs/

but basically the point is, you are indellibly linking your machine to a service.

The difference between that an normal internet is because of NAT, you can argue that at home it wasn't your machine, it was someone else on the network.

I'd be shocked if anyone in the United States is still downloading stuff without a VPN. There are entire countries that don't have to worry about it, but none in Europe or North America where that is the case.

No

> With a VPN the IP is a commercial server run by the VPN provider

That is not a requirement... anyone can run VPN server software on a computer they control, whether it's on a personal/residential connection or a VPS/VM you rent, or something else. Many privacy-conscious people do this regularly whether or not a commercial VPN provider is involved.

As Hitchens' Razor puts it: "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." u/petesergeant was pointing that out to you, fairly gently if slightly obliquely.
