It’s the legality of it. KZbin did not gain anything while Shane’s vid was demonetized therefore they don’t need to make him whole for a loss. Since no ads aired in that time KZbin was not paid for the ad time by the companies meaning there’s no money to give Shane.

why doesn’t youtube “prescreen” videos, aka running them through the algorithm before they actually go live so that incorrect demonization can be dealt with before it hurts the creator?

[@elimakesdo7025]

If the uploader schedules a video to go live at a certain time, and they check the video after the video finished processing but before it's supposed to go live, then they should see any alerts that make the video uneligible for monetization, or any copyright claims by the algorithm. But if you let it go live as soon as it's done processing, you won't have a chance to check. (Since Shane wanted to get the video out on the 30th as promised, and had to make some last-minute edits that already made the video late, I think he wanted the video to go live as soon as possible)

Suggested solution for youtube, allow creators the option to put their view thru an automated content review before pushing live. That way any automated monetization strikes could be addressed without losing views. Then any video flagged that has passed the pre-content review could still show ads and hold monetization in escrow while it is humanly reviewed. Perhaps, even allow advertisers to have a discounted rate to display ads in this grey area while in a review. So those advertisers are displaying with them with the for knowledge.

@@shannonclark3628 but it's not clear when youtube has completed a check. They should show that it has passed a monetization check and it's safe to go make listed. Additionally, there should be a clear written policy. Content creators rely on monetization, and this current system is just broken. A step further should really be that monetization should be done in categories or levels. So an advertiser can make a decision on what they what level they will be willing to pay for, perhaps there is a premium for a top-level safe video but news or topical related video categories have a standard ad fee? There are so many ways youtube could improve this system, but what they have not is hurting everyone.

[@iamokayiswear]

@@NeoStar Phil discussed this with the community ages ago. His concerns varied, but included: 1) Cost. They'd either need to hire a full time individual or they'd have to hire a 3rd party, increasing costs on producing the show significantly. 2) Time (his main point) His show's turnaround time is hours long, and the final video's order of words changes rapidly until it enters processing. It's extensively edited, and his process can edit it multiple times. From my memory, he'd need to bring the party who he hires to do captions in to do them, after or just before it enters processing. In a 15+ minute show, that would delay the show by at least an hour, or several depending on the content of the video. He felt that this delay would hurt views significantly enough that he wasn't in a position to consider it himself. I could be misquoting here, blame my memory. It's been months since he talked about it. However, in short, he said he'd considered it but didn't find he was able to do it in the current stage of his company. TVs and movies have far larger editing teams and writers rooms, with a shorter turnaround time vs amount of content produced, and has a 3rd party who does the captions, which is why so many mistakes are made. Their final product is already finished, and the 3rd party can even write them live as they air. Phil would have to take significant cost on the company, and due to the varied length of production on the PDS. I think it's unfair to compare it to companies who have hundreds of times the audience he does, and see multi billion dollar companies or more who are obligated to provide them under law, but I sympathize with your frustration.

[@brianwingel2570]

They don't have that many people. They have problems uploading on time all the time because of videos taking too long to edit and upload. The chances of him seeing this comment is almost 0 and the chances of them being able to make the captions for all of his videos is extremely small too. He would probably have to hire another person just for that. Which means he has to pay another person. He may not be able to do that.

Especially when 25 years down the line, this is going to be the least hard thing to do in regards to this, and bans on it will be ineffective.

On the fake university issue, if I was looking to go to college and use a student visa; had I taken time and settled on this fake university, just to find later that there are no actual classes, then I wouldn't necessarily be able to quit and go to another university. Finding our about it's true nature may have occurred after certain deadlines. So for that semester I would have just taken the enrollment to get my student visa and then looked to join a real university next semester. These students may not have known the reality of this school until it was too late for that semester.

[@Sohiawrites]

Sin Stalker I don’t think so, they wouldn’t have gotten the visa with that university in the first place. They enrolled somewhere else and transferred to that university to work illegally. I’m on F1 and I am completely confused as to why they would pay 10k in tuition just to work a $10-15/hr job. CPT is part time during the year and companies know that.

Is it entrapment? Can the Government prove if this particular university didn't exist that these students would still be here illegally? If they would, I see no problem. If they wouldn't?

The thing is, if this had been a non-sting scam the university never would have been on the Department of Homeland Sceutiry website. That fact adds a lot of credence to the entrapment argument because it was way too set up to be a legal way into the country that I believe a lot of well-intending people could have also fallen for it

[@caiawren6100]

If someone was fooled into thinking it was a real university - they would not pay/continue to pay tuition after learning there were no classes to enroll in. I kinda got the idea that those arrested are people who without a doubt knew what they were doing. (Didn't Phil say they set this up in 2015...? With how expensive tuition is, no gullible/innocent person would overlook the fact that they haven't gone to class in years...)

[@martyjackson4166]

Caia Wren I’m not saying they would never realize that. But by that time, they would already be in the country and would be so deep into it that they would fear being deported or being actually caught for doing something bad, and this then feeling like they have to stay in the program. Thus, they did something that they wouldn’t have if they hadn’t been enticed to by the government. Hence, this most likely falls under the defense of entrapment.

[@MochiiBunniie]

Idk. I’m from Detroit, so I know for a fact that there’s no university of Farmington. In fact, Farmington is about a 30 minute drive from Detroit.

I think established KZbinrs should be able to run their videos through KZbin's content-flagging systems BEFORE they post them publicly.

Thats because your forgetting the months they spent not going to class.

Note the "would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.", individuals taking the steps TO COMMIT IT on one's own volition negates it being entrapment.

If it wasn't entrapment, why would they have taken down the website for the university in question? Isnt that destroying evidence?

[@kevshorty]

Because it was used for a sting. Why keep it up if they don't need it anymore

[@kb96kb]

I think with the deepfakes it should just force the system to include a watermark in a corner of the video because people are going to make them regardless for porn or funny videos etc. And people who make those type of videos won't care if there is a watermark in the corner but people who want to try and pass these videos as fact for malicious reasons the watermark will let everyone who's sees that video will know it's fake. But who knows if a watermark can even be forced on the tech. And you can then put on jail time and fines on deepfake video that don't have a watermark.

[@aliciafraser1835]

deepfakes honestly shouldn't be a thing anyone. It's kind of fucked that you'd paste someone elses head into a situation they probably want absolutely nothing to do with. Especially in a way that makes it look real. It's disturbing as fuck.

[@vesper7750]

What if it becomes a meme to watermark real videos? 😂

[@3DPT]

Watermarks on pics are already unreliable, and are easily removed in photoshop. It would be nice to include some sort of deep fake watermark, but in reality if someone is dedicated enough to use deepfake they would have the means to remove watermarks or other visual data. It is scary now that our kids will have a difficult time telling true video from faked. Maby you can record a lava lamp in the background to encript a true video mark, and make it more difficult to hide a deepfake against it.

[@subliminal-damage]

Watermarks would be removed. They should encode someyhing deeper than that which isnt so easily removed.

[@TrelauniProductions]

Deep fakes are a bit of a tricky thing. On one hand, knowing about them raises awareness. On the other, it gives more intrigue and traffic to them, mostly (I’d hope) out of morbid curiosity. Now, I’m not with it. It’s beyond creepy. Fandom already makes manips, which can be cool, but also really intrusive at times, ie making a child pictured with said actor with another actor of the ship as the child becomes a prop of their child... or, ships with one actor and their sibling being manipped to the ship. Deep fakes are manips with extra steps.

[@elimakesdo7025]

There was already a PhillyD video on deepfakes a long time ago, so the cat's been out of the bag for a while.

[@TrelauniProductions]

Although this is true, phil didn't actually show what they looked like, verses the Shane Dawson conspiracy video did. It's the difference between the two. And, with millions watching it, there may be more traffic to those sites. It's a double edged sword of creepiness.

@@devilord3271 that's weird. Was phil talking about ads the entire time on the PDS? No he was giving the news. If Phil was going to take my $5 and make into $50 and talked about it with me I wouldn't have a problem. He's still making PDS every day and has been able to afford to make the deep dives in the morning. Is able to make longer shows on a regular basis. 2 years ago there were no morning shows. The PDS rarely made it past 12 minutes. He's delivering on making it into a network by expanding more little by little. So I don't see the problem here

[@christine6159]

It's so interesting to hear you talk about the F1 student stuff because I actually just left a job working with F1 students as a DSO (Designated School Official)! I remember one time I asked my PDSO (the head DSO for the school) about what happens if a student goes over their allotted unemployment days and technically violates their status, and she said that they can be caught and punished by DHS at any time after that, but the gov't has to actually find (re: notice) the violation first and (her opinion) that hardly ever happens so why even have that rule if they're not going to enforce it. That's why I'm a little surprised that this much effort went into something like this lol. Regarding entrapment, so it sounds like F1 students that were admitted to an actual school found out about Farmington once they were in the US, found out it would allow them to 'maintain status' without actually being a student anymore and subvert the work authorization process, and /then/ transferred there? I assume none of them came in intending to go to Farmington directly, knowing it was fake school, bc then the school name would most likely be on the visa and ICE could've just arrested them there, and also how would students know it wasn't a real school /before/ they entered the US? So assuming all these students came in on a visa/I-20 from a legit school, with no prior knowledge of Farmington or of it being fake, and THEN found out about and transferred to Farmington, it does seem like ICE was enticing the students hard to break the law because, again, from what I'm hearing it sounds like these students did demonstrate an intent to follow the rules - if they didn't check into their original school and maintain their status there, I doubt a DSO would even be able to transfer them to another school (F1 students have an electronic SEVIS record that has to be transferred in the government system from one school to another, and I'm pretty sure to even transfer the record the student has to be in Active status, which it wouldn't be if they never checked in or shouldn't be if they weren't maintaining status already). There's 1 or 2 unlikely scenarios I could imagine them maybe getting around that but I doubt anyone's reading this anyways lol. If Farmington hadn't existed, those students probably would've continued to maintain their F1 requirements or go AWOL purely of their own will and be subject to deportation anyway. It's a good way to catch those supplying the documents, but it seems like misdirection of effort (at best) to catch bad-actor students imo.

[@brokenhallelujah19]

The website piece is the one I can't wrap my head around. I'm kind of wondering how stupid someone could be since those sites are such a pain to get on in the first place since they started cracking down on the fraud. I feel like if anything is going to sink their case, it's going to be that because someone who's already in the country on an F-1 would actually have the knowledge that checking it might be a good idea.. I know there have been several big visa mills in HE, but didn't they all go the unaccredited/crappy-accredited, but enough to get DOE authorized way? I've been amazed at how long some of the diploma mills have lasted and they seem to use similar setups. There was the big (for a visa mill) Christian one that I think managed to do both new issue and transfers. To me, this seems like it's really targeted towards those students who came in viewing an F-1 as a gateway visa from the get-go. That could simply by my jaded by working in HE opinion though.

[@christine6159]

@@brokenhallelujah19 That's a good point! Yeah students are supposed to understand what their responsibilities as an F1 nonimmigrant are and eventually I would think that they were aware of what they were doing. I'm totally empathetic to not being an expert at a foreign country's immigration rules, but they' are responsible for their status and at a certain point it's hard to believe someone wouldn't understand what the school was offering them was illegal. Oh wow I've never heard of visa/diploma mills, but that totally makes sense. (I was only a DSO for about a year, I actually left to get a grad degree to work more in higher ed.) I didn't think about it before but I totally agree that the whole thing seems targeted at those students, and I can totally see students seeing it as a gateway. It's ultimately the student's decision to go with the scam once they're cognizant of it, but it feels weird to me because of the targeting. Like my green new to HE thought was that if ICE had just posed as students to the recruiters and hadn't 'tested' or involved the students by actually admitting and enrolling them, the students might have just sucked it up and put in the time to get OPT to get STEM to get H1B, but also maybe they would've just found another fake university.

[@VishweshJ]

As an international student on F-1 visa, I can say with fair confidence that people applying to those universities knew exactly what they were doing. Though I don't have any concrete proof, I've heard plenty of stories of people who use these "loophole" (for lack of a better word) methods to stay in the U.S. and get employed. Also I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of fake universities that do this stuff still out there.

[@brokenhallelujah19]

@@christine6159 Yeah, I think you're right about younger students potentially getting caught up in it accidentally. Especially if they haven't lived someplace with a fraud problem and aren't wise to the potential dangers. I am more familiar with Grad students who should definitely know better.
