"Because here’s the thing – all the journalists, intellectuals, politicians and others saying that they are staying to provide “balance” on the platform have missed the point entirely.

They are not balance. They are bait." Well said!!!!!!!! 👏

Incredible news! This would be such a massive step, although I am somewhat doubtful it would happen...

More excellent work Donie, as per usual!

😂 I honestly don't know why anyone is on there anymore. I kept mine up until last month, even though I no longer used it, because I hoped someone else would buy it one day and things could go back to what they were. Gradually faced up the reality that isnt gonna happen

Disturbing...

Check out my latest for the @crexuio.bsky.social blog. I look at how a politically maturing Irish far right is increasingly leveraging Irish republicanism through masculinity to build a home-grown ideology.

Another point I would add to this, the post Jan 6 regrouping that seemed to take place in the media, and with a seeming momentum pushing tech companies in the right direction, now seems like another world. One very far away, and it doesn't feel like its coming back anytime soon, sadly..

Agreed on Biden not leaving earlier. Huge mistake. But you're right, hard to tell. The pessimist in me says the Democrats could never have found a candidate strong enough to run against him regardless...

People who fancy quoting the Melian Dialogue ("the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must") ignore the fact that Thucydides was clearly portraying this as the kind of hubris that squandered Athens' primacy and paved the way for a devastating peer war that it ultimately lost.

After GPAHE Reporting, Meta Removes Antisemitic Content But Leaves Misogyny and Anti-Black Racism Unchecked GPAHE’s investigation forced Meta to remove some antisemitic and neo-Nazi content — but the platform continues to host rampant misogyny, anti-Black racism, and other extremist propaganda from major in...

Meta removed a few Nazi posts — but left influencers with millions of followers free to push misogyny, racism, and white supremacist content. Instagram is still hosting creators who monetize hate. The platform isn’t moderating extremism — it’s amplifying it.

X is the world's most visited child sexual exploitation site.

I often think about this. Could anything have been done differently during the years of the Biden presidency to change where we are now? Or was it inevitable?

It takes 9 years on average for democracies to get off the global lists of “backsliding democracies,” one way of the other (either they are restored, or they collapse into autocracy, dictatorship, etc). By my count we are halfway through that average…

I’m the Victim of a Far Right Conspiracy Theory | Super Users YouTube video by VICE

today is the 5th anniversary of me being "outed" as the QAnon Shaman. by far the most hilarious thing that's happened to me in 20 years of Far Right watching.

if you don't know the story, Vice made a 9 minute documentary about me after this.

"we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

No lie there!

I held on to mine until very recently, mainly out of hope someone else would buy it and turn it back to what it once used to be. I genuinely miss the platform we once had. An excellent algorithm for following niche news destroyed and muddled with low IQ nonsensical trash and AI slop. Sad.

An interesting read. And somewhat encouraging findings too

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

What do you think is going to come next?

Are there any plans for another conference for 2026?

Remarkable. The rise of the OSINT bros. Another indicator of just how influential ecosystems on X are within the Trump adminstration

A good point, are we about to see PMCs take over? Or more broadly, the increasing use of private entities in US foreign interventions?
