In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

it's not just appropriating someone's artwork (important as that is!); it's also reframing these incredibly sheltered comemierdas, who shift all the risk and consequences from their decisions onto others while hoarding the profits, into this position of casual, almost heroic precarity.

i'd like to congratulate the implementation of the australian social media ban for under-16s for being completely and utterly dogshit, especially on bluesky. surely none of this rollout will have any kind of technical issue that could result in the data of thousands of people being leaked

"I am the ancient, I am the land." Don't mess with Asher, bureaucrats

This shit is gonna happen globally now. There are a ton of reasons why digital rights activists were always dead set against enforcing real ID for using the internet.

Age verification isn't mandatory in the EU yet, are you anticipating Chat Control enforcing it, @bsky.app?

An interesting alternative to the Oz social media ban - youth-led movements trying to reshape big tech and harmful practices

If young people didn't care at all about the genocide in Palestine, and if a certain social media platform hadn't been used to post thousands of videos documenting Israeli state terror, do we think a ban on social media for teenagers would be actually happening in Australia right now?

You had one job

Once again, single point of failure brings the whole thing down. I seem to recall this Internet thing being designed for resilience in the face of even nuclear war. Nowadays, the web is dissolving if you look at it funny. 😵

Στο 19ο επεισόδιο του Unpacked συζητάμε με αφορμή τη σημερινή επέτειο του Πολυτεχνείου για την ιστορική σημασία της εξέγερσης και για τον ιστορικό αναθεωρητισμό, το πώς δηλαδή επιχειρείται σήμερα η ανακατασκευή ή παραποίηση της μνήμης της. open.spotify.com/episode/36Ox...

Over on the "hellsite," I've curated the first few hours of reactions, mostly of Palestinians, to the ceasefire announcement. Because on this site, apparently no one cares about the genocide.

📌Η ατιμωρησία του Ισραήλ για τις κατάφωρες παραβιάσεις του διεθνούς δικαίου μετράει δεκαετίες και πρέπει να τερματιστεί. 📢Τίποτα δεν μπορεί να δικαιολογήσει τη γενοκτονία.

As the Gen Z protests shook Kathmandu, violent clashes and crackdowns caused deaths, while journalists who were personally affected vy mob attacks and arson that damaged media offices, making reporting difficult.
