US warned Russia of possible imminent terror attack.

Putin publicly dismissed the warnings on March 19th.

Those attacks seem to have just happened.

I am baffled the EU has not signed on all together…. The EU already bans exports of spyware to human-rights violators (unfortunately some in the union still eagerly use it) ↘️

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: A 🧵 on today's horrifying @theIPCinfo report on famine in Gaza.

In my 25 years as a humanitarian this may be, pound for pound, the grimmest analysis I have ever seen.

All the more indefensible since the December projections made clear this was coming.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: 🚨BREAKING: A few days ahead of its IPO, Reddit has just been notified by the US Federal Trade Commission that they are investigating the company's AI training deals. This is what Reddit disclosed:

"(...) on March 14, 2024, we received a letter from the FTC advising us that the FTC’s staff is conducting a non-public inquiry focused on our sale, licensing, or sharing of user-generated content with third parties to train AI models. Given the novel nature of these technologies and commercial arrangements, we are not surprised that the FTC has expressed interest in this area. We do not believe that we have engaged in any unfair or deceptive trade practice. The letter indicated that the FTC staff was interested in meeting with us to learn more about our plans and that the FTC intended to request information and documents from us as its inquiry continues. (...)"
