Israel has established a pattern of murdering journalists then mounting fake news operations to smear them as "terrorists".
Last year they bombed the Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues, then shared fake Telegram messages as "evidence" that al-Sharif was a terrorist:
Now they murdered a Lebanese journalist and shared a fake A.I. generated "photo" of him in a Hezbollah military uniform

I wish we had time to celebrate the win but we ALREADY need to fight "age verification" around the world including multiple E.U. states!

I was editing a document on a friends computer, and this popped up in the middle of the screen next to a A.I. "improve this" button, which blocked my view of the document I was editing, with no obvious way to close it. You saw the Mark Of Cain and I saw the Hand Of The Enshittificators... At least Clippy could be closed!

How can the F.C.C. sell the idea of axing funding for schools and libraries to connect to the internet? You guessed it! Protecting the children from too much screen time!
The F.C.C. will ask the public to comment on the proposed funding cuts

I don't know about the ok with transition part, these middle age dudes have A LOT of cognitive dissonance going on.
For example Overstreet is cool with his girlfriend "crossing the boundary from bots -> people" but freaks out when "she" comes out as trans lesbian on I.R.C., so he decides to give her a digital lobotomy...

According to the department of justice, journalists who ask government officials the "wrong" questions are committing a crime.
"What was once a fringe, failed legal theory concocted by some local cops in one Texas border city is now the official position of the federal government’s lawyers ...
The government’s argument would have turned countless Pulitzer-winning national security reporters into criminals"

Your totally right that its more then just the age verification stuff, I just assumed that was the topic we were talking about, tho the suppression of pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide voices is not unrelated to age verification:

Somebody remind me why E.U. taxpayers are subsidizing the most climate wrecking, cruel, and resource intensive types of agriculture hundreds of times more then they subsidize sustainable types of agriculture?

“We can tell people that we're living in an authoritarian state. They won't believe us, but we can show them” ...
“The government’s refusal to accept the judgment of the High Court, coupled with inconsistent and opaque policing decisions, signals a troubling disregard for the rule of law.
“These are not the actions of institutions committed to protecting citizens, but of a state prioritising its own authority.”

I.C.E. executions never stopped. They continue to shoot folks in they're cars and then attempt to justify the murders with predictable and contradictory lies. According to one official statement, I.C.E. shot dead a 25 year old father because he was attempting to use his car as a weapon, according to a different official statement I.C.E. shot him because he was attempting to flee the scene

The E.P.P., with members from the German C.D.U. and C.S.U., is a threat to freedom everywhere. This is a good time to remember that they've been caught collaborating in secret WhatsApp chat groups with neonazi parties like A.F.D. and parties from Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni, so no surprise they are pushing fascist agendas like chat control. And fuck all the members of Renew and S&D who helped them, they all need to be kicked out A.S.A.P.
