How We Know TikTok Just Sold Out to Israel Palestinian content is vanishing on TikTok and now we know why. Netanyahu called TikTok’s U.S. sale “number one” in their digital war strategy. Zionist monitors are being embedded in moderation teams. This is what happens when billionaires privatize the public square and hand it over to a genocidal aparthied state. You are being occupied.

😂😂Loyiso Masuku (47): still loading…sleeping on job… fighting within her party Helen Zille (74): shooting ads, swimming in potholes, dropping content like a full-time influencer with a government job on the side 🔥 One is in their 40s but acting like retirement is calling… The other is in her 70s moving like she just got promoted at TikTok headquarters 😭 At this point guys age is no longer the issue… it’s ENERGY and WiFi connection 😅📶

This wasn’t a landslide… it was a shift. The media will tell you it’s a Labor wave. But the reality is nearly 60% of South Australians didn’t vote Labor. What we’re actually seeing is something new: real opposition rising. One Nation potentially securing 2–3 lower house seats + 3 upper house seats in a Labor state… That’s historic. And it was done on a $100K campaign. Now imagine what happens next. More funding. More structure. More people stepping forward. This isn’t overnight. This is a movement. And what happens in SA… is about to ripple across the country. Victoria is next. Huge thank you to everyone who supported Turning Point, used our how-to-vote cards, and backed the content we reached millions. This is just the beginning.

I'm going through the Google News Initiative (Google News Initiative) and today's session was about ad revenue. Took a few minutes to offer some thoughts on how Google's HCU was hurting small publishers, and express concerns over their decision to block links to California publishers. We were told at the beginning of the session that it was being recorded on Google's end, to include comments made in the chatroom. Some of the issues I address: 1.) Google's HCU (Helpful Content Updates) are prioritizing SPAM-written content over original, authoritative pieces, contrary to Google's assertion that it rewards helpful, original content with rank. 2.) Google's Google SearchLiaison has heard complaints from me and other publishers for months, and has offered an unsatisfactory "we'll pass it along." 3.) Google appears aware of the issues, but hasn't addressed or fixed them. 4.) Google is further penalizing California publishers by deliberately not linking to news content out of protest of pending state legislation that specifically addresses Google's outsized control over the Internet and attempts (albeit through flawed reasoning) to level the playing field. 5.) While there was a part in today's session about "recapturing" revenue, no one addressed how publishers can navigate the ever-changing Google Search algorithms and other times when Google decides on a whim to move the goal posts to the detriment of good, original content publishers. I had a direct pipeline to Google today, and felt I had to speak up on behalf of other small and niche publishers who have been just as impacted and who feel they have no voice.

Huda Kattan releases a shocking new video, dismissing and gaslighting the Jewish community's valid concerns about her antisemitism. We break down her Jew hatred here and continue to call on Sephora to dump this bigot from their stores! 1. Huda's claim: "Israel is behind every world war, 9/11, and October 7." FACT: A baseless conspiracy - the modern State of Israel didn’t exist for WWI/WWII, and blaming Jews for global tragedies is antisemitic scapegoating. Huda's OWN Quote: "Are they behind every World War? Yes. Behind September 11? Absolutely." 2. Huda's claim: "She’s speaking truth about Israel’s crimes." FACT: This is the blood-libel trope. Huda's OWN Quote: "Reminder that Israel has a booming organ trade from Palestinian bodies." 3. Huda's claim: "People are overreacting — it’s out of context." FACT: TikTok removed the video for misinformation & hate content - a rare step for such a major creator. 4. Huda's claim: “It’s just politics, not hate.” FACT: Jewish advocacy historians and expert state her rhetoric recycles 'centuries-old antisemitic tropes' and fuels real-world harm. 5. Huda's claim: Sephora is doing nothing. FACT: Sephora says it is “actively reviewing” the matter In summary, Huda Khattan is a bigot and racist; her products do not belong inside Sephora's stores. ACT HERE:

HOLY MACRO! This woman just exposed Haley Stevens, who’s running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, for hiring out-of-state influencers who pose as local Michigan grassroots voters to promote her campaign. Of all those involved, only one is actually from Michigan.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ These influencers previously promoted other candidates in different states before switching to Stevens. They’re not only faking their locations but also inventing entirely new names and online personas. Some even run businesses together, know each other in real life, and cross-post each other’s content to amplify her campaign without disclosing that they were hired by this candidate.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Since she made these videos, I only checked some of the influencers’ accounts, and some have changed their usernames and made their accounts private. I only used two of her videos, where she breaks down who these women are, because I didn’t want the video to be too long. If you want to learn more, you can visit her TikTok account.

Boko Haram’s new video tactics raise national security concerns By: Zagazola Makama In an era defined by the rapid evolution of digital technologies, social media has emerged as a powerful tool for public engagement, awareness creation, and communication. However, this same medium has also been weaponised by terror groups such as Boko Haram, particularly its Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati wal-Jihad (JAS) factions, to fuel violent extremism and undermine national security efforts. Zagazola has been raising alarm following spate of Boko Haram propaganda videos, notably one featuring a youthful and energetic speaker, estimated to be between the ages of 19 and 21, appearing to revive the disbanded rhetoric and style of the late Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau. There were also several platforms on TikTok which job is to propagate and recycle old preaching of Muhammad Yusuf, the Founder of Boko Haram and Abubakar Shekau. The videos, circulated widely on platforms such as TikTok and Facebook, have not only praised the resilience of the jihadist movement but also openly criticised the Nigerian government and its armed forces. Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert monitoring developments in the Lake Chad region, described the development as “a dangerous trend capable of influencing vulnerable minds, inciting hatred against the state, and reinvigorating terrorism recruitment channels, especially among urban sympathizers.” One of the central figures in the new video wave is allegedly an ardent follower of Bakura Doro, also known as Abu Ummaima, a senior commander of the JAS faction. However, intelligence observers are questioning the credibility and coherence of his message. “It is strange that an alleged JAS loyalist is speaking on behalf of ISWAP, a rival group that has repeatedly clashed with JAS,” a senior security source noted. “It suggests that the speaker may not be a frontline fighter, but rather an urban propagandist exploiting social media to sow confusion and fear.” This comes amid heightened security tension in Borno State following renewed attacks by ISWAP on military positions and recent civilian killings in Mallam Karamti and Dawashi areas. In contrast, JAS has maintained a relatively lower profile since their last major confrontation with Chadian troops in 2024. The disturbing development coincides with a broader national conversation on digital regulation and cyber monitoring, particularly as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. Analysts warn that allowing such inflammatory content to thrive online not only emboldens terror groups but also poses grave implications for national stability, as hostile actors may leverage the content to erode public trust in democratic institutions. “The fact that terror sympathisers can trend such messages unchecked is a glaring indictment of our current digital response capabilities,” Makama said. “These individuals must be tracked, their platforms dismantled, and the content removed without delay.” There must be an improved coordination among the Nigerian Police, the Defence Intelligence Agency, and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to map out and neutralize digital terror cells. We must invest in cutting-edge surveillance and artificial intelligence tools to identify these digital propagandists. They are as dangerous as gunmen in the field. The battlefront has shifted; modern warfare is now fought with both bullets and bandwidth,” Zagazola warned. He added that Nigerian authorities have in the past succeeded in working with global social media giants to remove extremist content. However, experts say the country must now institutionalise a domestic capability to detect, counter, and neutralise online threats in real time.

If Erika Kirk's ACTUAL FRIEND'S (Matt Walsh, Graham Allen, & Tracy Martin) are trying to form a hasbara FRONT against Candace Owens by unifying with the Dan Bonginos of the world... Then it is time for the independent investigative community to take a similar and stronger STAND! Candace CANNOT do it alone. I cannot do it alone. But those of us who are serious cannot continue to SHARE space with people we know are GRIFTING and are NOT concerned with the truth. The opposing side is becoming unified and they are about to turn up the heat. 🔑 We must act NOW!! IT IS TIME FOR US TO BUILD A UNIFIED "FOUNDATION OF FACTS"!! "If no one knows what to believe, then non-belief itself becomes our easiest defeat." ~Me 🤷🏾‍♂️ It is true. Seriously folks... Without the critical step of finding a SOLID place to build from, we cannot get justice for Charlie Kirk. 🔑 READ THAT AGAIN. Without solidifying our foundation of facts we can't ensure that a young man isn't sent to prison for the rest of his life. 🔑 READ THAT AGAIN. Without unifying our energy and efforts in a harmonized direction, we will NOT make progress to the point of actual completion. 🔑 READ THAT AGAIN. Our opponent, the "deep state" that is beginning to take over, is organized and intentional. If we want to maintain the same constitutional freedoms that we have all come to love, we must be organized and intentional as well. That starts with building a foundation of facts. We cannot allow the grifting in Charlie's name to continue from week to week and theory to theory. It's getting ridiculous after 6 months. I will be building a questionnaire this week so that we can all be on the same page regarding the facts that we could all see with our own eyes. Everything that is on the questionnaire will be verifiable by EVERYONE in the public. 🔑 What does that mean for all of us? It means we'll have a starting point of understanding on which creator's theories are answering all of the evidence that we can all collectively see, or which creators are purely just making content for the sake of making content. Charlie's family deserves closure. Charlie had real parents... Robert and Kimberly. It's time to do the right thing! Let's start to develop a foundation of facts together... That is the only way forward. I spoke about the questionnaire on another post on X. Expect that questionaire sometime this week. 🫡🪖🇺🇸

The Ellisons are now the most powerful family in the world. Paramount just acquired Warner Bros Discovery for $111 billion. Everyone's covering the Hollywood drama. The bidding war. The streaming wars... But what actually happened goes MUCH deeper: One family now controls CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, TikTok, and the cloud infrastructure that runs the US government. In less than 12 months. The Ellison family isn't a media company. They're a data company that just bought media as a front end. Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle. Worth $245 billion. Third richest person alive. Oracle runs the digital backbone of the US government. Department of Defense. Department of Energy. Air Force classified networks. They signed a $300 BILLION deal with OpenAI to build AI data centers. Their contracted future revenue jumped 438% to $523 billion. Oracle is quietly becoming the infrastructure layer for American AI. So why would the guy running all of that suddenly want to own CNN, HBO, and TikTok? Because AI needs data. Not server data. BEHAVIORAL data. What people watch. When they pause. What makes them click, scroll, and binge. Streaming platforms generate the most intimate behavioral data on Earth. TikTok is even worse. It knows what grabs your attention before you do (and guess who owns TikTok in the US?) Oracle's AI push creates a thirst for insight into how people consume content and what they buy. Streaming and social media deliver that at a scale nothing else can. This deal was never just about content. The financial engineering is insane: $47 billion in equity from the Ellison family. $57.5 billion in debt from Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo. A mix of investment-grade AND junk bonds, which is basically unheard of. Both Paramount and Warner Bros are losing hundreds of millions per quarter. Linear TV is dying. And they're duct-taping two sinking ships together with $57.5 billion in borrowed money. The political angle makes this even more interesting: David Ellison attended Trump's State of the Union two days before the deal closed. Larry Ellison sat next to Rupert Murdoch in the Oval Office with Trump. Trump endorsed them on camera: "Larry Ellison is great and his son David is great. They're friends of mine." The DOJ opened antitrust scrutiny on Netflix's bid. Not Paramount's. Paramount's press release said they have "confidence in the speed and certainty of regulatory approval." A company that's never done a deal this size is publicly guaranteeing regulatory clearance. And Netflix saw all of this. Sarandos flew to DC, met with AG Pam Bondi, and within hours walked away. Called it "no longer financially attractive." Corporate speak for "we can't compete with political access." In 12 months, one family now controls: - Oracle's government cloud - TikTok US - Paramount - CBS News - And now Warner Bros, HBO, CNN, and every cable channel from MTV to Cartoon Network The funny part is that Netflix stock jumped 10% when they quit. Wall Street is telling you Netflix dodged a bullet. Because here's what the market already figured out: The combined company will be CRUSHED under debt. Both studios are bleeding. And David Ellison, who has never run a profitable media company, is now in charge of the whole thing. The smart bet is this collapses within 3-5 years. And when it does, Netflix will be waiting with $2.8 billion in breakup fees already collected, ready to scoop up the pieces at a discount. But collapse or not, the Ellisons will already have what they came for... Years of behavioral data from hundreds of millions of users across streaming, social media, and news. Fed directly into Oracle's AI infrastructure. While everyone debates whether Batman and Harry Potter will be on the same app, the real play already happened. The guy who runs the government's cloud just bought the screen people stare at for 6 hours a day. The Ellisons are on a generational run.

We’re in a moment of heightened focus on Canadian national identity. But it’s playing out amid the historic and cultural amnesia that’s plagued Canada for decades. Ever since Donald Trump threatened to annex Canada, many Canadians have responded that our identity is unique from the United States. But this national mood comes only a few years after a campaign of tearing down statues of Canada’s seminal historic figures, and then-prime minister Justin Trudeau calling Canada a “post-national state.” Most recently, a so-called prank show with funding from the CBC targeted Canadians who have defended the legacy of Canada’s founding prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. So, is the wave of Canadian patriotism that’s emerged over the past year grounded in a firm understanding of the history—both good and bad—that has shaped the country? Or is it detached from an appreciation of Canada’s democratic roots, and the stories of how Macdonald worked tirelessly to forge a second North American nation? One voice who has consistently stood up for the idea that Canadians should have a robust and balanced view of their past is Trent University history professor Christopher Dummitt. Dummitt joins Inside Policy Talks to discuss his efforts to reach beyond the classroom with his new Canadian history YouTube channel, and share his views on the current state of Canadians’ relationship with their history.

We’re in a moment of heightened focus on Canadian national identity. But it’s playing out amid the historic and cultural amnesia that’s plagued Canada for decades. Ever since Donald Trump threatened to annex Canada, many Canadians have responded that our identity is unique from the United States. But this national mood comes only a few years after a campaign of tearing down statues of Canada’s seminal historic figures, and then-prime minister Justin Trudeau calling Canada a “post-national state.” Most recently, a so-called prank show with funding from the CBC targeted Canadians who have defended the legacy of Canada’s founding prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. So, is the wave of Canadian patriotism that’s emerged over the past year grounded in a firm understanding of the history—both good and bad—that has shaped the country? Or is it detached from an appreciation of Canada’s democratic roots, and the stories of how Macdonald worked tirelessly to forge a second North American nation? One voice who has consistently stood up for the idea that Canadians should have a robust and balanced view of their past is Trent University history professor Christopher Dummitt. Dummitt joins Inside Policy Talks to discuss his efforts to reach beyond the classroom with his new Canadian history YouTube channel, and share his views on the current state of Canadians’ relationship with their history.

About a month ago, a clip of mine went viral⁽¹⁾ talking about the Current State of Twitch (3rd thumbnail in this tweet). It resonated w/ people outside my community, so lemme elaborate (as a 10yr+ Twitch Veteran). Current State of Twitch isn't great and haven't been for a while. I've been passionate about Twitch since inception (I joined in April 2011 in the JTV days, a few months before Twitch debuted in July 2011), and been trying to instill positive change but I'm only a cog in the machine compared to where influence can impact — likely via Amazon-appointed Executives to help "oversee things" at decade-old-acquisition-that-has-still-generated-zero-profit Twitch⁽²⁾. ------------------------------------------------ Twitch's Muddled Identity ------------------------------------------------ Describing Twitch 10 years ago was easy: "Youtube, except always live, for gamers". Now, it's more muddled & fluid, at best: "Always live broadcasters who aim to connect with their viewers and foster communities(?)" — that, in itself, isn't problematic; but how it's accomplished, what methods are most effective, and how certain directories accumulate higher viewership is, I think (I may elaborate further on that in a future tweet). The most common reactive bark I've heard following TwitchCon 2025 is "Ban Politics" or "Make it Gaming-Only Again!" — People forget, but Pokemon GO (June 2016) going worldwide-viral was the crack-in-the-dam that lead to IRL as a directory because of the impracticality of continuing Twitch's "games-only" era as the site was increasing in popularity, reach, and cultural significance. IRL was a band-aid solution for the core function of Directories⁽³⁾ (which was to let would-be-browsers make better-informed decisions on what to watch based on their interest). It's too broad and encompassing, which led to an unintended dopamine-producing⁽⁴⁾ psuedo-ChatRoulette where you "never know what you're gonna see" browsing there. Without a better tool to migrate users or aggregate topical content, this problem exacerbated continuously. Just Chatting was supposed to be the solution, as it came with 11-12 other directories⁽⁵⁾ to attemptedly split the IRL monolith, but failed to inspire Social Behavioral Change tremendously. Just Chatting is more popular than ever, discoverability — like in the broad, functional sense — is busted cuz every genre of content stuffed within it and fails to disincentivize streamers from opting-out of the most popular directory. So, how do you stand-out in the overcrowded field where a fuckton of the viewership goes for a Roulette Pull on something entertaining to watch? ... ------------------------------------------------ The Era of Clout-Farming Content (and the fact it works, ugh) ------------------------------------------------ Once IRL directory came in Sept 2016, so did the meta of skirting the ToS (Terms of Service) to maximize views or push the limits of what was tolerated on Twitch. Fundamentally, the social dynamic of receiving a suspension (everyone generally refers to them colloquially as "bans") earns notoriety and "free vacation/marketing", that when coinciding with a comeback event, open the possibility of a net-positive from the boost in viewership or metrics. This isn't as relevant now because the ToS Enforcement has gotten significant buffs to be more transparent and structural in the last half-decade. I can't speak on the nuance of this now, but "Full-Time IRL Streamers" and "Sweaty IRL Affiliates" were unbearable at TwitchCons until TC Policy cracked down on requiring consent by those they bumrush'd into (while live of course), so I assume they're probably equally as intrusive everywhere else ... then Kick came along in 2022 and dominated the headlines for mischief within this realm, for the most part; but that's a different topic altogether. The burden of an authentic collab can be too much friction, slow moving — and honestly, too much work for a streamer to do — compared to the efficacy of blowing up Streamer x Streamer Conflict via self-commentary-reacts for sensationalism and maximizing parasocial viewers' worst tendencies. Effectively, ragebaiting. I'm not advocating to abolish this as a policy. I'm pointing out how this is a very effective way to garner views within the social constructs — and it shouldn't be, nor always was. Something changed at some point. I don't wanna bore you with a timeline of the last decade of controversy on Twitch, so I'll fast-forward to when I definitively see evidence that Clout-Culture is failing upward: In March 2025, the unbanning of Adin Ross⁽⁶⁾ (on Twitch) I saw as a huge moral failure that reeks of desperation for his views/clout/relevance at the direct expense of the integrity of Twitch Culture. Not sure if that was a Clancy-specific decision or what, but it encompasses "neo-Twitch" or a disconnect if there ever was one. ------------------------------------------------ Twitch Culture is diluting at the expense of recouping revenue ------------------------------------------------ A decade ago, Twitch Plays Pokemon broke news across insular-livestreaming gossip and was celebrated as a pinnacle of internet fandom⁽⁷⁾ (Feb 2014). This event was a testament to the value of Twitch because it reinforced the undeniable power of CULTURE present in Twitch Chats. I don't think the event could've worked on a YouTube Livestream (remember YouTube Gaming, introduced in 2015?). There's a certain aura present in Twitch Chat that makes it feel captivating to interact and engage with compared to a YouTube Live Chat Box. One feels like a close relative of bot-spam'd yt comments and the other feels ... real. I think that value is the culture — what could keep Twitch afloat for a long time, even if YouTube were to hypothetically obsolete Twitch in every way for delivering live broadcasted video content. I've noticed that as the meta has shifted towards revenue-maxxx'ing with the proliferation of Spectacle Events, typically marathons, that are engineered to paywall as many things as possible, at the expense of the content. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the culture has shifted. I also do think most of the marathon content isn't good; they're carried by being experiences with strong FOMO-factors to compel your participation by viewing. I do suspect there's a saturation point where the combination of the waning niches of livestreaming, 4th-wall-breaking, and manufactured spectacles can keep an audience seduced. Like, the content (in aspects) has less substance and I wonder what that means for the welfare of Twitch Culture and its content in another 5 years. Perhaps Twitch could foresee this and become proactive on the manner?... ------------------------------------------------ Twitch's Conduct & Repetitive Incompetence ------------------------------------------------ Twitch has prioritized generating revenue over addressing the needs of the already-active users for years. Emmett Shear (previous CEO; 2011-2023) probably was a huge reason for sluggish changes overall to the platform as from what I hear but I can't say for certain. Regardless, we got Dan Clancy as CEO and, while there has been lots of positive changes under his reign, it really does feel like "too little, too late" with the pressure looming from Amazon's 2015 acquisition; increased competition and marketshare decline; and declining revenues, active users & monthly streamers"⁽⁸⁾. Here's a brief timeline of features implemented that I feel helped build the culture. Before COVID, I believe the biggest obstacle was helping migrate streamers from being part-time to capable full-time content creators. So, at the time, revenue-generating products were revolutionary to help there, including me at that time: ✅ 2016 — Bits/Cheers & Prime Subs (!!!) ✅ 2017 — Gift Subs (to a specific user) ✅ 2018 — Gift Subs (to randos in Community); Super Subs & Ultra Subs ✅ 2018 — Twitch Mobile App v2 (original mobile app was a constantly broken mess) ✅ 2018 — Twitch Prime no longer adblocks (I will agree how they did it was stupid, but ultimately, it was a necessary; I can defend this in the replies if needed) Comparatively, here's the hostile changes that came at the expense of the Twitch Populous supporting said-change: ❌ 2017 — Communities⁽⁹⁾ (DOA cuz it wasn't streamlined enough and vulnerable to Popularity Bias; I can elaborate in replies if needed) ❌ 2018 — Tags for Channels (DOA cuz anyone can use any tag, diluting the effort of broad categorization or filtering in any capacity) ❌ 2022 — Twitch kills Hosting⁽¹⁰⁾ (also new "craptacular" Offline Page w/ Suggested Channels idea instead) ❌ 2024 — Twitch Mobile App v3⁽¹¹⁾ (Tiktok clone dogshit) ❌ 2024 — Stories (who asked for this?) ❌ 2025 — 100hr Video Storage Limit (going back against Collections & cementing Twitch isn't an evergreen platform; also SHORT NOTICE) ❌2025 — Live Rewind ... paywall'd to Twitch Turbo & Channel Subscribers only (this is free sitewide on yt's livestreams)⁽¹²⁾ ❌ 2025 — Ability to gift 1000 subs at once (already shelved from backlash) Post-COVID, I see a pattern of prioritizing revenue-generating products at the expense of what creators need or ask for. I understand Twitch needs to appease Amazon eventually with profit, but with a half-decade passed, all the buffs I can recall are 2K Resolution Streaming*, Portrait & Dual-Canvas Streaming*, and Stream Together / Shared Chat. *Both of these sortta don't count cuz they're invite-only betas that aren't site-wide and don't apply to non-Partners 🤷‍♂️ While more features arrive that ask for more of your money to partake in the Twitch Experience, I feel like the users (both Streamers & Viewers) continue to be neglected. 10 years ago, I thought YouTube Gaming was DOA; now I anticipate when more people bail on Twitch because the functionality will decay without a compelling reason to stay if the culture dminishes. I'll conclude with the 4th thumbnail included in this tweet — a supercut of a portion from the TwitchCon 2025 Keynote from Dan Clancy, with the youtube dislikes superimposed-over for your enjoyment. Let me know what you think of what I shared today! 🎉🥳 I'm considering also breaking down the specific causes (not symptoms) of why Twitch is where it is, and my 999 IQ Pragmatic Solutions that are tenfold better than what I've seen suggested after this morale fallout following TwitchCon 2025 👀

Elon Musk isn't running a 'free speech' platform; he’s running a propaganda machine for the far-right. Watch MEP Alexandra Geese blast the way X and TikTok are being used as weapons of war to divide the Europeans and boost putin’s puppets. She’s 100% right—why do we let these tech bros do things online that would be illegal on any TV station? Massive respect to her for calling out the empty seats in the room, too. Alexandra Geese, German politician and Member of the European Parliament: "putin, Trump and Musk have declared war against you. The destruction of the European Union has been putin’s goal for years. And now, with a national security strategy, Trump has joined the club. And their goals are clear. A weak and divided European continent, a polarized society and far-right parties of power. And I'm looking at every group in this house, except the far-right corner where the putin’s friend sits. And I'm looking at the European Commission. putin, Trump and Musk have declared war against you! They want you out. They want everybody out who fights for democracy. And they have a powerful weapon. And they're using it. Social Media. Elon Musk systematically downranks, that means censors, speech of pro-European political parties, violating our freedom of expression. In turn, he boosts pro-putin parties that want to destroy the European Union. And the evidence from Germany, Poland and UK is overwhelming and we want finally the European Commission to investigate this. And X is not the only one. TikTok force-feeds far-right content to people who do not choose it. Would we tolerate one party getting 80% of the TV space in a democracy? No, we would not! Then why do we accept that social media oligarchs impose this on our citizens in the online world? Why do we accept that the whole business model of social media is hate? Commissioner McGrath [commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection] you just said peace comes from respecting people, not from dividing them. So why do we accept the business model of an information online ecosystem that is built on dividing people? That is built on spreading hate? Colleagues, Commissioner, my constituents are deeply concerned about these attacks on our democracy. They're asking Europe to fight. But the person who could do that today is not even in the room. Executive Vice-President Virkunnen has something more urgent to do than to listen to the concerns of citizens in parliament, and I hope she's not meeting a big tech company. Tyranny requires our fear and our silence. Democracy requires courage and it requires us to speak up. And I'm speaking up. I will not be silent and I'm asking the European Commission to stand up for Europe.”

She’s 100% right—why do we let these tech bros do things online that would be illegal on any TV station? Massive respect to her for calling out the empty seats in the room, too. Alexandra Geese, German politician and Member of the European Parliament: "putin, Trump and Musk have declared war against you. The destruction of the European Union has been putin’s goal for years. And now, with a national security strategy, Trump has joined the club. And their goals are clear. A weak and divided European continent, a polarized society and far-right parties of power. And I'm looking at every group in this house, except the far-right corner where the putin’s friend sits. And I'm looking at the European Commission. putin, Trump and Musk have declared war against you! They want you out. They want everybody out who fights for democracy. And they have a powerful weapon. And they're using it. Social Media. Elon Musk systematically downranks, that means censors, speech of pro-European political parties, violating our freedom of expression. In turn, he boosts pro-putin parties that want to destroy the European Union. And the evidence from Germany, Poland and UK is overwhelming and we want finally the European Commission to investigate this. And X is not the only one. TikTok force-feeds far-right content to people who do not choose it. Would we tolerate one party getting 80% of the TV space in a democracy? No, we would not! Then why do we accept that social media oligarchs impose this on our citizens in the online world? Why do we accept that the whole business model of social media is hate? Commissioner McGrath [commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection] you just said peace comes from respecting people, not from dividing them. So why do we accept the business model of an information online ecosystem that is built on dividing people? That is built on spreading hate? Colleagues, Commissioner, my constituents are deeply concerned about these attacks on our democracy. They're asking Europe to fight. But the person who could do that today is not even in the room. Executive Vice-President Virkunnen has something more urgent to do than to listen to the concerns of citizens in parliament, and I hope she's not meeting a big tech company. Tyranny requires our fear and our silence. Democracy requires courage and it requires us to speak up. And I'm speaking up. I will not be silent and I'm asking the European Commission to stand up for Europe.”

Mysterious glowing orbs 'coming from mothership' off Florida coast spark fears of another drone invasion | Ellyn LaPointe, Daily Mail Mysterious glowing orbs have been spotted flying off the coast of Florida - months after New Jersey was invaded by drones. Residents of Daytona Beach have described the unidentified objects rising directly from the ocean and flying over the surface of the water. One extremely viral video from March 17 at around 10pm captured what appeared to be a large object moving toward land, and the flare of light surrounding it gradually dissipating to reveal the shape of an aircraft. While many have dismissed it as simply a passenger plane, locals have shared similar videos online claiming the objects moved in unconventional ways. One particularly extraordinary theory has surfaced on social media, where locals say a 'group of whistleblowers' claiming to be 'military personnel and sailors' told them the US Navy discovered a 'huge' underwater mothership that they believe is producing the orbs. 'Apparently whatever this thing is has sent numerous pulses of energy out, and apparently knocked out power to a couple of the ships,' one TikTok user explained. 'This thing is appearing on radar and then disappearing off of radar,' he added. There have also been eyewitness reports of US Navy vessels patrolling near Daytona Beach amid the orb sightings, with many speculating that they are there to observe or respond to the bizarre activity. These reports are unverified. But after thousands of unidentified drones were reported throughout the US just a few months ago, Floridians are concerned that the activity appears to have started up again in their state. The Florida orb phenomenon gained widespread attention when TikTok user 'CocoSongz' shared a video of a bright orb flying over the ocean off the coast of Daytona Beach around 10pm ET on March 17. In the video, eyewitnesses can be heard exclaiming that the object 'came out of the ocean' and that several more objects were flying around it, though they cannot be seen in the footage. 'Y'all we got real alien activity going on,' one eyewitness said. While multiple eyewitnesses have said that they saw the orbs rising straight out of the water, no footage of them doing so has surfaced. CocoSongz later posted several more videos of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) flying over the ocean, but they have since been removed from her TikTok page. The original video has been shared widely on social media, and similar footage began to surface from other sources as well. TikTok user 'djlovelyy' posted a video of a bright orb flying near the moon off the coast of Miami Beach on the evening of March 18. The orb gradually fades and then disappears from view. From November to December 2024, thousands of 'car-sized' drones were reported flying or hovering over residential communities, military bases and other locations across several regions of the US. The phenomenon began in New Jersey, with the first drone sighting occurring over Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County on November 13. The activity soon spread across the state and then the region, with reports surfacing in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and many other states. The phenomenon eventually swept across the country. Drone reports emerged in several regions and over more military bases, sparking widespread panic. On December 3, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched an investigation into the activity. But by mid-December, they determined that most of the sightings could be explained by normal aerial activities. 'We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,' the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a joint statement issued on December 12. But many state officials and concerned citizens were not satisfied, and continued to report sightings and pressure the Federal government for answers through January. Now, orbs spotted in Florida have raised concerns once again, as no one has been able to determine exactly what these objects are or where they are coming from. But it is possible that these strange lights have a mundane explanation. Orbs in photos or videos are typically created by light shining through dust particles or water droplets that reflect the light and cause it to flare. When flying over the ocean at night, an aircraft's headlights can give it an orb-like appearance as the light shines through fog or mist. As for whether the origin of these aircraft is foreign, or even extraterrestrial, there is currently no solid evidence to suggest this is the case. Read more:
