US tech companies have always had a hard-on for profiting from genocide. See, for example, Edwin Black's 'IBM and the Holocaust'.....

With Epstein's mate Mandelson appointed UK ambassador to the US, and now this 👇, I fear the rumours that Satan is Keir Starmer's favoured choice for next Archbishop of Canterbury are probably true ...

Interested to see what, if any, impact the new Age Verification checks implemented by @bsky.app in the UK - to comply with the Online Safety Act from 25/7/25 - will have on its apparently terminal decline ....

The Israeli government is deliberately using starvation as a weapon against the people of #Gaza, including journalists and media workers. We urge the EU to take legal action against ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank.

Curious that this piece reports Israelis as "murdered" while the vastly greater number of Palestinian victims are merely "reported killed".

Well worth reading, but ironic that it is sponsored by the company arguably most responsible for trashing news media by, 1) gobbling up ad revenue and 2) scraping content for 'AI Overviews' and not sending traffic to its creators ....!!

Have to agree with Cory Doctorow that the enshittification of Google is now complete. Searching for a new UK phone provider and it serves up two pages of AI slop, adverts & barely-literate Reddit pages. The total opposite of what made Google search successful.
