Protesters from UltraViolet Action set up outside Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to call for Apple to take child sexual abuse imagery more seriously. Their flyers ask for the removal of Grok, X, and other nudify technology as well as to crack down on child sexual abuse material in iCloud.
At the Cupertino Apple Park campus, Apple has welcomed developers and members of the press to watch its WWDC opening keynote. But protesters from UltraViolet, a women's advocacy group, are also in attendance with a sign claiming "Apple is powered by child sexual abuse."
National women’s advocacy group UltraViolet flew a plane over the Netflix’s Los Gatos, CA headquarters, urging the company to stop filming in Georgia, according to IndieWire.
The women’s advocacy group UltraViolet is asking the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct to remove McClusky. Nearly 35,000 people have signed their petition, including more than 675 survivors of sexual assault, the group said Wednesday.
“No one should have to go through an entire court case just to be told that their assault didn’t matter, but that’s what Judge McClusky said,” UltraViolet said in a letter to the commission.
Police Officer Alejandro Giraldo, responsible for brutally assaulting Dyma Loving on March 5 in Miami Dade County, has been officially charged with first-degree misdemeanor battery and third-degree felony official misconduct, according to a statement from her lawyer. The disgraced cop turned himself in to authorities this morning.
For weeks, activists in the Miami area have been putting pressure on State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle to charge Giraldo in the case. A Color of Change petition demanded the state lock the officer up, while another petition from UltraViolet called for the Miami Dade Police Department to fire Giraldo as soon as possible.
“What the nation saw instead was a brutal attack on a black woman by officers who were mandated to protect and serve,” said Natalie Green, spokesperson for the women’s advocacy organization UltraViolet during a press conference Tuesday. “Her crime was asking for help.”
