Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

"The real nightmare scenario is 'having the bad guy AI collaborate with the good guy AI'." The AI hackfest is in full swing. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Peeps, Here's another link. It's the !@#$ bot army takover. Now with Machine Learning. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

"A similar attack on Google’s Gemini didn’t even need an attachment, just an email with hidden directives." Uhhhhh.

Criminal hackers using #AI to find victim organizations and break in is the old new thing. Hackers breaking in and then turning the victim’s AI against them is the new new thing, and it is going to get so much worse. Gift link to my story today. wapo.st/4nDfV5o

I cannot stress enough how much this is not going to work.

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

“Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told the House Judiciary Committee that he thinks the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics, and banking.”

Over a COMEDIAN

Red states accused the Biden administration of "jawboning" -- coercing social media platforms to "censor" content (mostly COVID misinformation), merely by liaising and flagging false content for those companies. Now the FCC *explicitly threatens* a network over content but that's all good?

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Another day of interesting developments in the home of the free press. Thats’s two TV hosts down.

Nexstar is currently awaiting approval from the FCC and FTC on a $6.2 Billion acquisition of TEGNA.
