“Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police Service has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into UK nationals who fought for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed.
The 240-page referral was first submitted by the Public Interest Law Centre (#PILC) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (#PCHR) in August 2025”
[..]
“The move comes after British-Palestinian human rights campaigner Lubna #Speitan, who is represented by PILC, threatened judicial review proceedings against the Met”

If you have been wondering about the effectiveness of the social media ban of under 15 year olds, this study got you :)
Spoiler: 92%+ of kids age 14-15 in #Australia still use it 🥳
Meanwhile IMO forced verification of users had a much better success rate 😉

“After decades of under-investment by greedy private water companies, the failure of the UK’s water supply is now the top threat to the UK, alongside a new pandemic.”

Water failure now top threat to UK – we should be worried
The UK's water supply is under major threat. What could be a bigger risk to our national security than the failure of our water reserves?Skwawkbox (The Canary)

The complete dismantling of Meta would offer unambiguous, far reaching benefits for all of humanity.

"Thirty-three states have banded together to sue Meta, alleging that the company was exploiting its young users on Instagram and Facebook for profit, including by collecting data from children without parental consent."
The damages could be as high as $1.4 trillion, nearly the same as Meta's market capitalization at just above $1.5 trillion.

Meta's Teen Safety Case Just Became a $1.4 Trillion Existential Threat
Meta faces damages almost equivalent to its roughly $1.5 trillion market value.Ece Yildirim (Gizmodo)
#Meta has been up to no good for a while - always?
Is $1.4 trillion a reasonable amount for these cases? Who knows.
Is it reasonable compensation for all the evil they’ve done? I’d argue yes.
It’s essentially their entire market capitalization as a penalty.

Excuse my caps:
WEB OF TRUST!!!
:) But seriously, this problem was solved forever ago. Web of Trust technologies allow humans to vouch for each other, to see the web of who vouched for whom, and to integrate those approvals into larger systems.
It's a hobby horse of mine, that so many problems we bring up on social media, and media in general, can be addressed using these old, forgotten technologies.
It's not only about protecting instances from bots but goes even into keeping your social media feeds free of jerks you don't want to see.

Scoop: #WSocial has been experiencing major technical problems for over a week: it is effectively a ghost town, filled with thousands of new accounts that cannot use the platform.
Because my new article contains a possible solution to their problem, by the time you read this the issue may have been fixed. Or not. It has been going on for 7+ days, with complete radio silence by its developers and founders.

W Social: a Broken Ghost Town?
W Social has been experiencing major technical problems for over a week: it is effectively a ghost town, filled with thousands of new accounts that cannot use the platform.Elena Rossini
Irgendwie kam mir das Logo von #wsocial doch bekannt vor. Trust your food vs. Trust your feed.
Ich traue beiden nicht.
Just finished "Character Limit" (Conger & Mac, 2024) about how Musk wrecked Twitter, and what's funny is how unremarkable both the world's richest man and the tech he's trying to build really are.
There was nothing genius about any of it. He fired most of the staff overnight, gutted moderation, watched the hate speech and bots he claimed he'd kill flood right back in, and tanked a $44B platform in every possible way. In the end, it was just about power, attention, and owning another rich guy's toy.
Musk doesn't actually want humanity to achieve great things. He's like an adult baby, sucking his thumb and throwing a tantrum whenever he isn't worshipped. The world's richest man and the loneliest internet troll alive, a perfect image of entitlement.
When Trump was banned from Twitter, he was quickly replaced by even bigger man-child. The rise of far-right alt-tech owes a lot to these two clowns. Zuck and Dorsey aren't far behind either.

Social media bans don't work. They just make things worse.
In Australia, for those teens who haven't bypassed the restrictions, their access to news has been curtailed.
How does this square with giving votes to 16 year olds in the UK? Children have rights to free expression too.
