Republicans pay $36K for an influencer video while Democrats pay $2K... The article argues Republicans are way better at structural organizing (vs punctual mobilizing), creating conditions for right-leaning ecosystems emilyinyourphone.substack.com/p/the-influe...

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home. That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous. Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed. www.badinternetbills.com

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Blockchain's hype boosted DAO communities, which, a decade later, now manage $16 billion. Did DAO platforms deliver on their initial promises? Our new paper covers a 7-year mixed-methods postmortem of a first-gen DAO platform. What worked, what broke, what can we learn doi.org/10.7717/peer... 🧵⬇️

Tl;dr they will pay a one-time $1.5 Billion settlement. They're currently valued at $183 Billion so it's a slap on the wrist. No ongoing royalties, no model deletion, no required negotiation with authors or publishers for what happens next.

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼ The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October. PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy! fightchatcontrol.eu

Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values.

False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.

Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures.

Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

Say their names: Mu'adh Abu Taha, Maryam Abu Daqa, Muhammad Salama, and Hossam Al-Masri. Israel killed FOUR journalists today, as they bombed Nasser, as they have bombed every hospital for two years now. They’re among 275 journalists murdered by US-Israel

"Rather than end the genocide, the response instead is to continue firing, doxing, smearing, and attempting to censor inconvenient narratives."
