Recent high-profile acquisitions include Jeff Bezos purchasing the Washington Post, Elon Musk buying Twitter (now X), and Patrick Soon-Shiong acquiring the Los Angeles Times. A billionaire consortium also bought significant stakes in The Economist.

In France, far-right billionaire Vincent Bolloré has transformed CNews into what critics call the French equivalent of Fox News. In the United Kingdom, three-quarters of newspaper circulation is controlled by just four wealthy families.

This is amazing. News and communication in the internet age was supposed to be democratised publication and agency to the voice of the average person, and it is to a small extent, but for the most part society was just like

To each their own, no doubt. Personally I’m just in awe at how modern tech actually makes people tech-illiterate, and seemingly at a faster clip each year. Throw in an additional attack surface and that just makes it, for me, net minus. There are social and political implications to being tech-illiterate and tech-dependent (especially dependent on foreign and/or rogue states), which is another minus in my book.

Wait didn’t we get women’s rights in Afghanistan after bombing them for 20 years? Ah nevermind, I already moved on to the next big issue.

I mean, how do you think they got to be a trillion dollar company, R&D?

GOOGLE DESIGNED THE wireless protocol known as Fast Pair to optimize for ultra-convenient connections: It lets users connect their Bluetooth gadgets with Android and ChromeOS devices in a single tap.

Men need to serve at least 3 years compulsory military service, women 2 years.

Are you saying there are no innocents in Israel?

They were just following orders?

Poor genociders

They just don’t realise why.

Yup. Just how Sauron was able to see via the Palantiri, the Swiss army have concluded that they can’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.

The overwhelming majority of Somalis who live in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area are U.S. citizens, PBS reported.

And going after Somalis while Israel is trying to get a foothold in Somalia is sus af

The government’s new Online Safety Act 2023 (Priority Offenses) (Amendment) Regulations 2025, which came into force on January 8, 2026, designates “cyberflashing” and “encouraging or assisting serious self-harm” as priority offenses, categories that trigger the strictest compliance duties under the OSA.

How are they going to prosecute Grok and ChatGPT? Just above in my feed is an article where ChatGPT suggested drug combinations that led a young man to accidentally kill himself with drugs.

Agree, and it’s a way for governments to look like they’re doing something while continuing to not do anything. Wanna stop non-consensual sex with minors? Release the Epstein files and prosecute the offenders to the full extent of the law. Don’t wanna stop non-consensual sex with minors? Do this. All the privacy and free speech violations are just “collateral damage” and “externalities” inflicted on people who don’t really matter… the 99%.

Yea, it is. Not true of France.

The pandering to Trump has been an element of our strategy over the last year
