This Is The Inside Of My Head

This is getting kind of ridiculous.

Kirstjen Nielsen, the secretary of Trump’s Homeland Security, claimed she didn’t know it would be traumatizing to separate migrant children from their parents — despite having been briefed on the risks, and despite what common sense should have told her.

Nielsen made the comment Wednesday during an oversight hearing on the Trump administration’s family separation policy — which has led to infants and young children being ripped from their parents and held in unsanitary and unsafe detention facilities. Two children under the age of 10 have even died while in U.S. custody.

“The information that I was aware of at the time was that the trauma was part of the journey to come up to the border illegally,” Nielsen said in response to a question from freshman Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood, who asked Nielsen whether she was aware of research showing the trauma that could arise from family separations.

However, while Nielsen claimed to be unaware of the research, a number of lower-level Trump administration officials have testified under oath before Congress that they warned other Trump administration officials of the harm family separation could cause to children.

Their warnings fell upon deaf ears.

Ultimately, however, you don’t need a study to understand how ripping a child from their parents and putting them in a detention facility would be a traumatizing experience.

And Democrats, who are using their newfound majority status to hold oversight hearings on the damaging Trump administration policy, were not amused by Nielsen’s denials — calling the policy “immoral and un-American.”

“From what I’ve heard today, I’m not sure if DHS was so negligent they didn’t know how traumatic family separation was for children, or if they knew and did it anyways,” Underwood said after her line of questioning.

“But in my opinion, both are unacceptable.”

One part of the terms is that they get a lifelong, transferable license for your content, which persists even if you stop using their service. They can transfer or sub-license it to third parties, and you can’t stop them, because you agree to that when you sign up.

Another is that once they start taking a cut, which they will once this launches officially, they can take up to 30%. For comparison, Patreon takes 5%. So you sign up, you post content, they raise the fee, you decide it’s no longer worth it and stop using it… and they get to keep using your content anyway.

listen, if you’re an artist, you need to get the fuck OFF of Facebook. Facebook has done nothing to rectify their terms. Your account could be private, doesn’t matter. Your account could be public, doesn’t matter. If you post art (or images) on Facebook, they own the license to that piece.

But Aery! How will I grow an audience if I’m not on all social media!? You know how if you click water mark on DeviantArt and it covers almost the WHOLE image; do that but make sure it coveres the important bits. Make a box signature with a disclosure on the bottom half “Property of (insert website or common username you use everywhere)”

Redirect your Facebook fans to a different website, be it your own or a site that won’t steal your fucking license in their TOS/TOA (Terms of service/terms of agreement).

Honestly, at some point, make the transition where you HAVE your own site. You can start with cheap alternatives and grow into better options, but don’t feel like you have to rush. Artists aren’t made of money when they start out after all. Only make the transition when your able; but STAY AWAY FROM FACEBOOK IF YOU CAN’T PROTECT YOUR ART.

Don’t have a digital software to put the water mark on? AVOID.

Don’t have the time to inform yourself of the websites shenanigans? AVOID.

If a stranger can’t look at your art and know it’s your art. You need to actively protect your art and start signing shit. I know I’m guilty of never signing my works, but it is a form of claiming a piece. Some sites you have to do the WHOLE image, other sites you have to do partial an image. And if that shit is reposted, YOU GIVE THEM HELL.

Send them a cease and desist (you don’t need a lawyer to type this up. There are plenty of examples online to help give you an idea). If they still don’t, you contact staff of the site and let them know you have sent a cease and desist to stop and they have not. If the staff does nothing, you have two options. Raise hell in the fandom, or take it to court.

When looking at these, you’ll note they stop holding effect when you remove your work from the website.  Meaning that if you take it down, you are revoking those rights and they acknowledge and will (theoretically) respect this.
