UK is close to finallsing a law that would criminalise publishing any information provided by ”state threats”.
This would likely concern for example Hamas or Hezbollah, which publish civilian casualty numbers that journalists rely on, because Israel’s numbers are pure propaganda.
Should this become law, a journalist could then face up to 14 years in prison for publishing it.
Sounds a lot like Russia, doesn’t it?

"It was to be the biggest undertaking in Britain for OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Stargate UK – a multibillion-pound UK datacentre project – would represent “a major step forward in the US-UK technology partnership”.
But the plans were paused in April, with an OpenAI spokesperson citing concerns over regulation and high energy costs.
Now the Guardian can reveal that OpenAI does not appear to have visited one of Stargate UK’s key sites – and that £20bn of the “potential” £30bn in investment touted by the UK government appears to have been totally hypothetical.
The findings raise questions about one of the most-hyped UK AI developments, and suggest a centrepiece of US-UK AI cooperation was in fact little more than a press release."

British Prime Minister #KeirStarmer said Monday he is stepping down as leader of the governing #LabourParty & will leave office within weeks, scarcely 2 years after being elected in a landslide. #Starmer says he will remain caretaker prime minister until a new Labour leader is chosen by the party. Starmer is the sixth prime minister in a decade to announce a premature departure.
