20. Gab editorial just now

“The modern internet is no longer a neutral space where people exchange information and argue about reality. It is an immense network of algorithms deciding what billions of people see, what they don’t see, and what they will believe happened.

How is it that in 2026 when we have billions of devices with cameras and high speed internet all over the world we aren’t seeing any footage of what is going on in Iran or Israel? We saw more back in the early 2000’s with the war in in Iraq than we do now. 

The reason for this is because platforms like X, Facebook, TikTok and others rely heavily on automated moderation systems and AI-driven tools that scan the entire network in real time. Content can be flagged, limited, or removed within seconds, long before the public ever has a chance to see it let alone debate it.

Censorship is only half the story. The other half is narrative warfare.”

16. Three pieces of bad news

There are conflicting statements about the remainder of the Persian girls squad. The timestamp said it was an hour or so ago. One shot saw the remaing girls holding on to each other’s arms in a line, heading for the plane.

One report said that some of the girls, far from trying to escape, were dragging others onto the plane.

A different report said Albanese failed to stop the flight. We’ll just have to wait.

Second is Starmer, introducing legislation that you are far-right if you are for the attack on Iran, plus some other creepy law they’ve reintroduced … more later.

Found the other reintroduced legislation … scapping jury trials.
