Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice. We noticed. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

NEW What the Palestine Action judgment means - and what it does not mean How the High Court ruled against the government, but not with enthusiasm By me: emptycity.substack.com/p/what-the-p... (A follow up to my Prospect post this morning.)

I’m just going to leave this here

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back. Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The proscription order remains in place pending an appeal. Until further legal proceedings are complete, it remains a criminal offence to support or promote Palestine Action.

Crypto transactions for human trafficking—both forced laborers in scam compounds and sex trafficking—grew by at least 85% in 2025. Now measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Almost all these deals are being carried out on Chinese-language Telegram channels. www.wired.com/story/crypto...

Discord recently announced that many more users will need to scan their face or upload ID, verifying their age so they can continue to access parts of the platform. Someone quickly made a tool that they say bypasses it with a simple 3D model you control www.404media.co/free-tool-sa...

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

Trump has shown that Europe needs to be less reliant on the US.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

NEW: Google sent ICE the personal financial data of a student and journalist who attented a pro-Palestinian protest in 2024. The agency had sent Google an admininistrative subpoena, a request that companies are not mandated to respond to. techcrunch.com/2026/02/10/g...

In 2024, OpenAI was a client of the lobbying firm Mandelson founded. In 2025, the US tech giant signed a major “strategic partnership” with the uk govt - while Mandelson was ambassador. Questions go beyond just Palantir: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's not as if the Reform party is being censored here - the BBC falls over itself to cover their every word (largely uncritically), and much of the print media are their cheerleaders.

I just went and reread this, and it is just as true about Sarah Pochin and Bangor as it was about Rod Liddle and Durham. "Freedom of speech" does not and has never meant freedom to be listened to uncrtically by any audience you demand. I look forward to Pochin approaching me to give my cats talk

In my view the Commission argument against regularisation is unfounded as the law now stands. Here's Article 6.4 of the Returns Directive, which allows Member States to regularise the status of irregular migrants. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one. Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

Good thread on (even more!) risks with Ring intercoms.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

It's not often we get to report on hopeful news Alaa Hamoudi won in the EU's top court against Frontex! This opens doors for many survivors of Frontex pushbacks. @bdeeb.bsky.social tells how he reported on Alaa's case back in 2020 with @bellingcat.com. And how this evidence ended up in court.

So glad a debate is finally happening. This goes to the heart of the security of our democratic system. I’ve taken part in court cases against successive governments for their failure to investigate hostile state interference in UK elections - ministers’ lack of curiosity is truly shocking 👇
