Capital de TokensThe Most Revealing Part: Meta Assumed This Was Acceptable
Watch on YouTube To wrap up, I think the most revealing part of this story isn’t what Meta did. It’s what Meta assumed it could do. It assumed that launching a tool like this with opt-out was an acceptable starting position. That the burden of protection falls on the person who could become a victim, not on the person who creates the tool or uses it to generate the content. And that assumption isn’t new. It’s the same logic that led to decades of problems with privacy, content moderation, and misinformation on these platforms. The difference now is that the potential harm is more immediate, more personal, and harder to undo. An AI-generated image of someone in a compromising context can circulate for years. There’s no undo button for that.
