RT by @MarietjeSchaake: 1. People rely on online reviews to make informed purchases and compare products.
When companies use fake reviews, consumers get misled and honest businesses lose out.
Today @FTC finalized a rule to prohibit fake reviews.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
…And really, THAT song?

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: X’s Grok AI training has been stopped (for now) in Europe by the Irish data regulator in a court action.
Elon Musk’s platform had forcibly opted EU citizens in to training Grok’s AI without asking.
In court, X called the Irish action “draconian”.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today’s decision by the Netanyahu government is an extreme action.
It first and foremost seeks to affect our ability to help the Palestinian population.
Norway will not be deterred from working for a #TwoStateSolution

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: I strongly condemn the decision by the Israeli Government to revoke the diplomatic status for Norwegian diplomats dealing with the PA.
This is of interest for all working for peace and stability in the Middle East.
Full solidarity to Norway.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Друзья, это уже я сам.
После двух с лишним лет тюрьмы, «одиночки» и изоляции от мира и человеческого общения заново учусь базовым вещам. Разговаривать с детьми, пользоваться телефоном, ходить по улицам, водить машину. Очень непривычно, что можно просто взять и пойти куда хочешь — без наручников и без конвоя. И до сих пор кажется, что это какой-то фильм. Очень хороший — но всё ещё нереальный.
Владимир Буковский, вспоминая о своём обмене в 1976 году, сравнивал этот опыт с ощущениями водолаза, которого внезапно поднимают на поверхность. Очень точная метафора. И нам всем понадобится какое-то время, чтобы снова адаптироваться к реальности.
Огромное спасибо всем, кто все эти годы не забывал о политзаключённых и требовал нашей свободы. Общественное мнение может свернуть горы, как мы снова увидели 1 августа. Для нас и наших семей этот персональный ад закончился — но в путинских тюрьмах остаются сотни российских узников совести и тысячи украинских военнопленных и гражданских заложников. Мы будем добиваться освобождения каждого из них.
Отдельная, никакими словами не выразимая благодарность — моей жене @ekaramurza. Как и два столетия назад, в России всё по-прежнему держится на сильных женщинах.

@elonmusk is a feckless billionaire whose algorithms pose an imminent threat to life. He won’t act. So it’s critical that we now do.
