The power of technology can unlock creativity and connection. As AI continues to evolve, we’re committed to ensuring it’s used responsibly, especially when it comes to protecting creators and viewers. That’s why we’re supporting the NO FAKES Act of 2025, introduced by Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

We’re proud to support this important legislation, which tackles the growing problem of harm associated with unauthorized digital replicas: AI-generated content simulating a person’s image or voice that can be used to mislead or misrepresent. The NO FAKES Act, alongside other legislative efforts we support like the TAKE IT DOWN Act, provides clear legal frameworks to address these issues and protect individuals’ rights.

Why are people downvoting this post? Do they not want others to see it?

I assume it's due to people not trusting Youtube with false positives. They don't have the best reputation with the rest of their AI moderation stuff.

Yes,

And do they not want others to know that youtube is doing that?

No, they're downvoting because they don't like what the post is saying.

People misusing voting buttons as a like/dlislike button is a well known issue and reality, at least on Reddit. But considering the system works the exact same here, it's no surprise that the same problem persists here as well.

A few years ago Walmart released a line of gaming computers and the ars technica article I saw was titled something like “Walmart released gaming computers and the prices aren’t awful”.

I copied and pasted the title verbatim and the post got downvoted a ton and all of the comments were trying to give me shit for the prices not actually being good (I feel like they were in line with normal prebuilts but oh well).

The Internet is a weird place. And to be honest, since I left reddit and have been on Lemmy I feel like people here vote with passion instead of based on the content of the post/comment a lot more than reddit. Its one of the only complaints I have so far.
