The SpaceX/xAI merger situation is actually pretty important and, I think, very bad. "Data centers in space" is a bit of a pipe dream, but SpaceX now dominates low-Earth orbit in a highly concerning way. Starlink is real and could monopolize a lot of things.Not Good! www.404media.co/this-spacex-...

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists www.404media.co/the-washingt...

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

this is program police were using to funnel flock data to ice. so, good move

We're doing a reddit AMA! right now! come! www.reddit.com/r/technology...

this is pretty wild. good argument for lockdown mode if your threat model is one where you might have your phone seized by the Feds: www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

At 12 ET today me and Jason are doing AMA on the main technology subreddit about the tech ICE is using, the nationwide network of AI Flock cameras around the U.S., and the state of surveillance in general. Get your questions in before then: www.reddit.com/r/technology...

New: How ICE’s top contractor, one of America’s biggest private prison operators, monetizes virtually everything ICE does including bounties on immigrants, rapidly expanding detention centers, and intensive surveillance. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

a stranger texted me "the die is cast" yesterday and truly it is

really important story here:

I think this SpaceX / xAI merger is likely to be very important (bad) in ways that are both predictable and ways that I’m not sure about yet. I think it is undeniable that Starlink/reusable rockets/spamming satellites into low earth orbit is a very notable thing. Combining that w bad ai company-idk

remember when cal ripken’s mom was kidnapped but it was like possibly some elaborate hoax or setup and no one ever figured out what happened? does anyone know what happened

New: The DOJ left multiple unredacted nude images in the Epstein data dump. They only removed them after 404 Media reported the links. This is very disturbing: www.404media.co/doj-released...

BREAKING: The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday’s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.
