A week ago, Israel cut aid to Gaza. Now, Israel has also cut electricity. Over 2 million people are being deliberately and illegally deprived of clean water, food, fuel and power. These war crimes must not be ignored. World leaders must act to stop Israel's collective punishment of Gaza. Share now.

Barely enough for one toilet flush. Less than a minute of showering. Less than 2 minutes of a tap running. That is how much water each person has in the North Gaza and Rafah Governorates. It's less than 7% of the water available before October 2023.

🇨🇳draft Internet ID Measure: We have already seen China's influence on global digital authoritarianism. This risks further emulation as #China pushes to remake internet governance in its own repressive image. See @chrdnet.bsky.social @article19.bsky.social analysis www.article19.org/resources/ch...

China's Internet ID Measure will progress digital authoritarianism and further restrict freedom of expression and access to information.

New @oxfaminternational.bsky.social report points out how the wealth of the world’s ten richest men grew on average by almost $100 million a day —even if they lost 99 percent of their wealth, they would remain billionaires.🤦‍♂️ #TakersNotMakers - Read the report: buff.ly/42hcMRu

Asia’s current situation in the climate context is an example that speaks volumes. Rich polluters have left some countries in Asia devastated, depleting their labour and resources in the name of progress.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

In October 2024, one year into Gaza's ongoing war, the violence continues. Over 6,000 women and 11,000 children killed. The horror must end. #Oxfam2024Recap #Gaza #CeasefireNow
