What was TilesTopiaHop is now Strolly. Whether Tiles actually did the live or Stolly simply used the same brand name is unknown, but the livestream is ongoing under Strolly's youtube. The event itself has nothing nude, the models are in swimwear.

I don't think it's your heart that drives your interest in babe pics ;)
Actually it does. Some women i just do not feel any attraction to, even though they are very sexually attractive. They are physically attractive to me but not a person i would want to live together with.
Of course i just see an image and never met them. But that is the first impression. And my metaphorical heart plays 1/3 role in selection.

Please, read and think before you react and blindly start bellowing . :colbert:

I forgot that once long ago, i disabled Restricted Mode on the youtube homepage.
Of course some people who think they are smart but are in reality only fast in a stupid way will react : '"Doh ! Dumbass of course there is going to be nudity". 🙄
So i enabled it again yesterday and see what is the result :

The reason i disabled Restriced Mode long ago, as is seen in the image above is because i no longer could view any funny scenes of movies or for example medical movies or even biological movies or physics movies.
I do not know who decide what should be restricted but the reasoning is flawed. I give you example why :

This screenshot snippet is from the ATF forum itself and as you can see, i am no longer allowed to watch even innocent harmless comedy movies.
So again , i plead that youtube creates a nudity section or nudity category where only nudity is present and properly selected.
And let the comedy stay comedy. And let biology stay biology. For example.

It's tied to viewing history. YouTube knows you like that kind of content and expects you to eagerly click and enjoy such content.

That is partially a lie. The honest truth is that most images i posted of women in clothes or swimwear and sometimes even lingerie, were presented to me while traversing facebook. And i got recommendations from facebook to groups with those images after posting messages and viewing pages of various famous actresses and singers.
So, facebook shares search history with Google and with youtube ? Yes ?

And as icing on the cake, even images and text shared by using whatsapp result into recommended ads and commercials.
And is that automated or is there a department in these companies filled with human "profilers" ?
That is a possbile leak of personal information.
As is selling search history to companies, even companies owned by real criminals.

I am not that handy with using the quotes. So bare with me.

You post in the babe thread and you think Youtube is not going to show you naked women?

I post something, i do not search for it.
I have the strong feeling you are going to tell me something i am not aware of when it comes to either ATF or ATF members as subject.

Also do not forget, that nudity is not allowed, even in the babe thread.
Also not allowed in the stud thread.
Or it would have been a taco and sausage fest

Or as we decent people say :
A flower of love and love obelisk fest.

Unless you take active steps to prevent it, google knows what you're doing. Whether you search or not, if you interact with a type of content, google will try feeding you more of that content. I'd be surprised if any other company can track as well as google. Idiotbook is probably their closest competitor.

I know what it means. But it has nothing in common with the subject. You are being subjective or you are not telling everything.
You do understand that it is very possible to hijack a customers connection. That can have happened to me as wel when my computer system , filled with NAT, firewalls , user accounts, passwords, updated virusscanners and so on : Was hacked about 2 years ago.
And that is something Interpol, Europol and the FBI has to think about. And that is just the western world.
Especially thinking about such a possibility when looking at all the security bulletins and security holes at internet providers, content providers.
White collar criminals working for large internet content companies and search companies.
All very possible.

Private mail will do.
Cause you mean so called "AI" gone haywire. That can be a good excuse...

Of course, long ago a given person mentioned : "Echelon" , once an idea to result in a means to possibly listen in on every person using electronics in the world.
Perhaps true, perhaps a fantasy. Who knows.

I do remember discussion here long ago about tracking. But i am sure that even if you stuff your browser with anything you like to prevent tracking you.
You still have to go through an internetprovider to acces the wan. And of course the internet provider knows who you are and they also keep track of everything you look up.
Probably because google would like to have that information, to improve services, and to help out government agencies meant to protect people.
That last part , is obvious. Guerilla tactics used in war long ago was how to hide from that large bomb or tank : Blend in, be part of and be invisible, which these days is obvious and can result in huge danger to innocent people.
Of course, our internet with all that belongs to it, provides a great means to protect us when not abused.
I fully understand that. And that is also why care must be taken. Nobody will ever here me say that google is bad. Just that it is a company with people and perhaps subcontractors working for google.

That is why stuff like for example KALI linux is so popular and unfortunately abused by criminals while it is a valuable means to test your network against security flaws and to learn how to prevent network penetration.

If a random criminal with a given intent... Can abuse the internet connection by hacking or legit acces... Of an innocent man by hacking or accessing into systems, than the criminal stays for a large part hidden and camouflaged.
That can also be a corrupt police cyber security officer or even a white collar criminal working for an internetprovider or even a corrupt defense cyber security specialist or even last but not least a corrupt government cyber security specialist.
Or even your every garden and household lovable always helping independent ICT technician helping out with the computers of innocent naive people.
And even that every garden and household lovable always helping independent ICT technician can be hacked unknowingly.

All this for the purpose of selling information or just because those people with "internet" power perhaps being blackmailed after having been put in a very criminal offensive position. Things to think about.
Like seeing in the movies a police officer that gets his information from a criminal playing the double spy. Nothing special and very real.
Audits are important.

What such a criminal would do of course is create suggestions about that innocent person to destroy his or hers credibility.
That is nothing special, many books and many movies have been about mud throwing and false evidence. Just look at elections in real life and all the turd slinging...
