RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today's front page of The National.

We published a timeline of a year of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. It's all here in black and white - the war crimes, murdered journalists, flattened hospitals, orphaned children. 7567 words, 42,000 deaths. Don't look away.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: TikTok admits in their own research:

“compulsive usage correlates with a slew of negative mental health effects like loss of analytical skills, memory formation, contextual thinking, conversational depth, empathy, and increased anxiety.”

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: SCOOP:

Elon Musk's xAI supercomputer team has been secretly courting government officials, like Memphis police and FBI agents, behind NDAs and a shell run by his fixer, Jared Birchall.

We obtained the NDA through a public records request.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Pay attention to the #Pegasus scandal in 🇨🇴#Colombia, where a private jet loaded with cash was used to buy the notorious mercenary spyware.

Colombia's president @petrogustavo has speculated that he & other opposition figures may have been targeted during administration of President Iván Duque.

@FiscaliaCol is now in midst of a criminal probe into possible unauthorized use.

Uber and Lyft using tech to cheat NY drivers from enjoying new minimum wage. How is this not illegal? In NY recently ‘ride share’ was way more expensive than Yellow Cabs too

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today, I learned the terrible news. Our colleague, journalist Victoria Roshchyna, died in Russian captivity.

I have a question. What did they do with her? What could have been done to a young girl to make her die? I call on all journalistic organizations from different countries to officially demand an answer from Russia.

Vika, you were so brave. I'm so sorry we didn't free you on time…

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Two massive Israeli air strikes on #Beirut’s Ras Al Nabaa/Noweiri neighbourhood just now. This is the very centre of the city, far from the southern suburbs and the farthest east #Israel has hit so far. People running in the streets screaming; not an area anyone expected to come under fire.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Mercenary spyware is a scourge.

As it proliferates it will help more autocrats stay in power & erode freedoms in democracies.

Glad to see this @UNHumanRights side event with @MediaFreedomC >@StateDRL & @USAmbHRC making space for victims' voices.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The extent to which democratic politicians of all political stripes have abdicated their responsibility to govern the digital realm more comprehensively is mind-boggling, writes @stanfordcyber’s @MarietjeSchaake in a new PS Say More. https://bit.ly/4h0Pnsr

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: “Democracies need a clear vision of how to comprehensively govern tech.” @MarietjeSchaake urges leaders to rebuild their own technological knowledge—and to develop ways to hold tech companies to account.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: In October 2023, the IDF tweeted grainy videos of 17 airstrikes in Gaza with generalised captions about targeting Hamas. @airwars and @SkyNews found that more than 440 civilians were killed in those strikes alone. Almost half were children. https://idf-tweets-gaza.airwars.org/

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Bijzonder hoe betrekkelijk geruisloos dit voorbijgaat in Nederland. Misschien ook omdat deze beweging pan-Europees is (en met Trump erbij ook transatlantisch) en veel verslaggeving gaat toch per land. Daar zit iets scheef.
