Researchers say videos of Charlie Kirk's shooting fall into a policy gap on social media platforms, between allowable "graphic content" and "glorified violence" (Lauren Goode/Wired)
https://www.wired.com/story/charlie-kirk-shot-videos-spread-…

Charlie Kirk Was Shot and Killed in a Post-Content Moderation World
Videos of the shooting spread across TikTok, Instagram, and X. Researchers say that in some cases the platforms are falling short on enforcing their own content moderation rules.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says
filming and posting videos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents
constitutes “violence,”
💥and has threatened to potentially charge people who take videos and photos of agents conducting immigration raids in their communities,
🔥despite First Amendment protections.

DHS Says Filming, Posting Videos of ICE Agents Is “Doxxing,” Vows Prosecutions
Recording on-duty law enforcement agents is protected by the First Amendment.

Früher badete hier der Wedding, jetzt kostet der Eintritt im Strandbad am Wochenende 10€, keine Ermäßigung für Arbeitslose/Bürgergeld.
Die Hälfte des Sees ist frei zugänglich, da wurde schon immer gebadet, es ist einer der wenigen Seen im Zentrum.
Dafür hohe Bußgelder zu verhängen, ist absurd. Das ist kein Naturschutz, sondern direkte Subventionierung des teuren Strandbads.

Mining the Social Fabric: Unveiling Communities for Fake News Detection in Short Videos
Short video platforms have become a major medium for information sharing, but their rapid content generation and algorithmic amplification also enable the widespread dissemination of fake news. Detecting misinformation in short videos is challenging due to their multi-modal nature and the limited context of individual videos. While recent methods focus on analyzing content signals-visual, textual, and audio-they often overlook implicit relationships among videos, uploaders, and events. To addre…

Through Their Eyes: User Perceptions on Sensitive Attribute Inference of Social Media Videos by Visual Language Models
The rapid advancement of Visual Language Models (VLMs) has enabled sophisticated analysis of visual content, leading to concerns about the inference of sensitive user attributes and subsequent privacy risks. While technical capabilities of VLMs are increasingly studied, users' understanding, perceptions, and reactions to these inferences remain less explored, especially concerning videos uploaded on the social media.

Social media platforms increasingly struggle to detect harmful content that promotes muscle dysmorphic behaviors, particularly pro-bigorexia content that disproportionately affects adolescent males. Unlike traditional eating disorder detection focused on the "thin ideal," pro-bigorexia material masquerades as legitimate fitness content through complex multimodal combinations of visual displays, coded language, and motivational messaging that evade text-based detection systems.

Boosting Action-Information via a Variational Bottleneck on Unlabelled Robot Videos
Learning from demonstrations (LfD) typically relies on large amounts of action-labeled expert trajectories, which fundamentally constrains the scale of available training data. A promising alternative is to learn directly from unlabeled video demonstrations. However, we find that existing methods tend to encode latent actions that share little mutual information with the true robot actions, leading to suboptimal control performance. To address this limitation, we introduce a novel framework tha…

Aligning Effective Tokens with Video Anomaly in Large Language Models
Understanding abnormal events in videos is a vital and challenging task that has garnered significant attention in a wide range of applications. Although current video understanding Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are capable of analyzing general videos, they often struggle to handle anomalies due to the spatial and temporal sparsity of abnormal events, where the redundant information always leads to suboptimal outcomes. To address these challenges, exploiting the representation and g…
