NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

BREAKING: Who’s really leading the cyberweapons industry in West Asia and North Africa? New research by SMEX exposes Israel-linked spyware vendors at the helm of the industry with the UAE and Saudi Arabia among top buyers. smex.org/new-research...

Have taken the time to read this *extraordinary* 161p ruling by Federal Judge William Young. Absolute must-read to understand the full extent of Trump regime's depravity and lawlessness, the steep extent of 🇺🇸 descent into authoritarianism & the enabling role of integrity-free Roberts Court

Alaa Abd El Fattah is finally free and at home with his family. EFF wholeheartedly celebrates Alaa’s freedom and reunification with his family. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

I like to imagine that somewhere, in a deep underground basement, a table was flipped over, grains of rice spilling all over the floor https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/09/supermicro-server-motherboards-can-be-infected-with-unremovable-malware/

Nothing more disorienting/annoying than videos in my YouTube subscription feed changing icon and title. You are A/B testing my last nerve

> TBI’s turnover in 2023 was $145.3m Weird how they never mean this type of thing when they talk about NGO funding... https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2025/09/inside-the-tony-blair-institute

My guess is this is an exaggerated SIM farm bust (Secret Service involved because threats), combined with quite bad reporting from NYT, relying on the usual "security" experts/fantasists

Every single thing about this is weird. If anyone knows more about what's going on here, hmu. I have just... so many questions www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

ORF versucht immer noch, die Teilnehmer der gestrigen Demonstration zu diskreditieren. „Antisemitische Aussagen“, aber keine Beweise, weder im Videobeitrag noch im Online-Text. orf.at/stories/3406...

Wild considering Austria is one of the leading obstructors of "actual" sanctions

The DPC learning about data brokers in 2025

Every 4 years Ireland's data protection "regulator" writes to the Irish Council for Civil Liberties to say their investigation into shady Real Time Bidding ad networks' surveillance of <everyone> is at a "mature" stage and its release is imminent And surveillance + sale of data to ANYONE goes on

We cooperated with RTE PrimeTime over the last year on this very significant story about RTB data exposing the movements of Irish people, including military and political personnel. Link to this morning's preview piece is here --> www.rte.ie/news/primeti...

CW: Dehumanisierung Daniel Kapp, heute in der #ZIB1 : «Keinem, der hier oben am Podium sitzt, sind die Opfer in Gaza, die toten Kinder, gleichgültig» Auch Daniel Kapp:

Calls for ‘urgent action’ after MI5 illegally monitored ex-BBC NI journalist’s phone ‘A journalist’s right to protect their sources is the bedrock of a free press. This is not just about one journalist, it is about the public’s right to know the truth.’ www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

It explains so much about the Irish state’s attitude to privacy and technology if it did not even attempt to secure its own communications. I have no trouble believing that sensitive calls about Brexit were held in the clear on public networks. archive.is/3H4gK

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

Dieser Text war lang in Arbeit. Jetzt online @freitag.de: Wie Israels Channel 14 zum Genozid in Gaza anstachelt – und wie Axel Springer bis April über eine Tochterfirma Anzeigen dort schaltete. Inkl.

There is video clearly showing a drone strike. Look out a f*cking window and find out what's true etc etc

Russia must immediately stop its campaign of indiscriminate attacks. Targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Truth, justice and reparations for victims of Russian aggression ✊

This WELTjournal episode on ORF detailed surprisingly well the war crimes that ZIB, the evening news program, has been failing to report for the last 2 years. Well, it's actually a France 2 production, but kudos to the commissioning editor for getting it shown on ORF.

Mehr als 210 Journalist*innen wurden von der israelischen Armee bisher in Gaza getötet. Das „nd“ folgt dem Aufruf von „Reporter ohne Grenzen“ und beteiligt sich am „Media Blackout“-Aktionstag für die getöteten Kolleg*innen. Mehr dazu hinter dem Link in der Bio.

CW: protestor punched by Berlin police; blood Not sure why this has been placed in quotes in the headline, considering video footage does in fact show the police punching her repeatedly in the face. (In fairness to the journalist the air quotes are not used in the piece).

🚨 Today we have launched the ‘Breaking up with Big Tech’ briefing which calls on governments to rein in the power of big technology companies in order to protect human rights. amn.st/63326f4SHp

The genocide has influencers now. What a wonderful world we have built together.

Any good writing out there on negative effects for consumers of the now ubiquitous ePaper price displays in grocery stores? On the surface they seem like a gouger's dream...

Why does he look like he's at a cattle mart

That sound you hear is German-speaking newsrooms, rolling into action, to find some reason why those journalists had it coming

Schnell! Schaut da drüben! Da bekommt eine Großfamilie Sozialhilfe!

Famine has not “struck” Gaza. It is not the result of some natural disaster. It has been engineered. Famine has been inflicted upon the people of Gaza by Israel, who have been facilitated by their enabler allies.

Being left wing in Austria means you must state your opposition to a racist ban on foreigners in swimming pools by pointing out that, actually, the foreigners from the good countries would be affected too

My #Eurovision rebrand was unfortunately rejected https://eurovision.tv/story/eurovision-song-contest-new-look

Eine Frage - was haben "UN Watch", "Mena Watch" und "NGO Monitor" gemeinsam - abgesehen davon, dass sie jetzt von Mainstream-Journalist*innen als Quellen zitiert werden?
