Al Jazeera: Big Tech ‘basically complicit’ in civilian deaths in Gaza Ramesh Srinivasan, a professor of information studies at UCLA, says “there’s a shocking lack of transparency” over Google’s Project Nimbus that’s being used by the Israeli military in Gaza. Big technology companies working with Israel’s army could be found complicit in the attacks on civilians there, he told Al Jazeera. “Corporate America Big Tech is actually aligned with many of the Israeli military’s actions. The fact that AI systems are being used indicates there’s a lack of regard by the Israeli state. Everybody knows these AI systems will make mistakes,” said Srinivasan. “There will be wrongful deaths and wrongful assassinations that we’ve seen with so many civilians in Gaza. They’re basically complicit.” https://aje.io/7dmzo6?update=2841906… via @AJEnglish
Is Zuckerberg sharing personal whatsapp data with the IDF? The IDF’s Lavender AI uses @Meta ‘s private WhatsApp data to choose targets in Gaza — based on possible connections to Hamas. The IDF then waits until targets are at home to bomb them with their families.5 May: Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand on X: Incredible mask-off moment: Romney and Blinken say that the ban of TikTok was directly because “the emotion, the impact of images has a very challenging effect on the narrative”, the narrative being “Israel’s PR”. Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok
6 May: Michael Tracey@mtracey: Watch as Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) desperately tries and fails to elicit a statement from the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, that the current campus protests are being deviously “manipulated” by “Chinese sympathizers” and/or TikTok
9 May: Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta posted on X: “These monsters manufacture the Quadcopter drone with a sniper gun. One night we had 30 injuries when they were sent to shoot at people trying to get to Ahli hospital. One was a 9 year boy shot in the neck. He bled-out in the ER. Germany hasn’t banned them from Europe.”

10 July: @Meta will ban the use of the term ‘Zionist’ as an antisemitic proxy for ‘Jews’. The announcement is a much-needed advancement in our ongoing fight against online antisemitism and hatred. By recognizing and addressing the misuse of the term ‘Zionist,’ Meta is taking a bold stand against those who seek to mask their antisemitism. We appreciate that Meta has truly listened to the voices of the Jewish communities that we work with. This policy change will help create a safer, more respectful online environment for everyone. It’s our hope that all other platforms will follow Meta’s leadership and take similar action. https://worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/wjc-praises-meta-decision-antisemitic-use-of-zionist

Palantir CEO Alex Carp who’s company’s data-mining software helps the IDF killing machine to select targets including 18,000 innocent children… says we need to scrap the 1st Amendment to target antisemitism in America.
@MaxBlumenthal : Zionist fanatic Alex Karp has faced no institutional barriers on his path to becoming a billionaire. He lives a life of unalloyed privilege, raking in piles of corporate welfare. So why is he freaking out about antisemitism? Because Americans are organizing against his plan to construct a Skynet style AI driven mass murder system, which is currently being tested on the people of Gaza. This certifiable psychopath and those like him are more dangerous to humanity than any serial killer who stalked our streets.

You Tube censors Candace Owen’s YouTube channel:
Thus far, I have had zero strikes on my@YouTubeCreators account. I [Candace Owens] have now been inundated with 3 back to back content hits within minutes, plus an email that I am now fully demonetized. We all know exactly who is behind this and why.
The ADL *allegedly* is engaging in financial warfare against Palestinians and others who oppose Israel’s genocide. But of course, we are told groups like that don’t have that kind of power…

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta calls Israel’s explosive pager operation “terrorism” in an interview with CBS today: “I don’t think there’s any question it’s a form of terrorism.” “When you have terror going into the supply chain, it makes people ask the question: what the hell is next?” “The forces of war are largely in control right now of what’s going on.”
27 September: Norway issues an international warrant for Rinson Jose, an Indian-born entrepreneur behind the Bulgarian-shell company that sold exploding Israeli pagers to Hezbollah. Rinson Jose is a founder of Norta Global Ltd, which was reportedly part of the pager supply chain. He disappeared while on a work trip to the US last week. His employer, DN Media Group, said he left for a conference in Boston on Sept. 17, and the company has not been able to reach him since Sept. 18.
David Miller @Tracking_Power How does Israel infiltrate the technology used by millions in order to target individuals. One route is through VPN’s which people use to evade surveillance. In this episode of @PDeclassified we ask why people should be concerned about Kape Technologies, which owns a number of the biggest virtual private network providers, or VPNs. In our first report, we look at the man behind Kape Technologies, Israeli businessman Teddy Sagi. Later in the show, we highlight the fact that the CEO of Kape Technologies has a background with a covert Israeli military unit with a notorious reputation. Make sure your use of a VPN (or other technology) does not make you vulnerable to Zionist targeting. Watch Palestine Declassified! #DismantleZionism
Ian Carroll explaining one of the reasons for the TikTok banning? Do we really think the government cares if TikTok is poisoning our minds? If so, they would ban all of it with the exception of X of course
ASSANGE: “WikiLeaks had exposed the CIA’s infiltration of French political parties, its spying on French and German leaders, its subversion of supply chains and software injections into smart TVs, cars and iPhones.” -> The CIA tried to gather his infant son’s DNA from a diaper? WTF

Palestinian journalist @ytirawi is suddenly missing most of his followers, with many reporting that they’ve involuntarily “unfollowed” him, and that X will not allow them to re-follow. We’re seeing the same thing. It automatically unfollows again every time we leave his page:
