2/2 It's not entirely Elon's fault that people are using tech for crime. BUT Elon once turned off Star Link in a PRECISE, TARGETED WAY, when he chose to undermine a Ukrainian attack on Russian forces in Crimea.

So why is Starlink enabling 21st century slavery in Burma, Laos and Cambodia?

Super interesting. Elon Musk makes "Star Link" mini-dish receivers to enable people in far-flung places to get internet.

However, organized crime syndicates use the receivers to run scams - imprisoning hundreds of thousands of people, especially in Myanmar/Burma, Laos and Cambodia.

Video: Earthquake Damages Myanmar’s Religious and Heritage Sites The deadly quake in Myanmar damaged over 3,000 buildings, including about 150 mosques and pagodas, in the government’s latest count on Saturday morning.

Immensely sad that the Burmese government lacks the capacity to act for the human loss, as well as for historic places; while at the same time, USAID has been cut off at its knees.

Who Really Took the Famous β€œNapalm Girl” Photograph? A new Sundance documentary, which questions the provenance of a Vietnam War icon, has set off a pitched battle between photojournalists and the filmmakers.

Another take. It's interesting to me that the filmmakers did not interview Burnett or mention that Robinson had been fired by the AP.

One thing not considered? Nick Ut was at the same site, and shooting film. Unlike with digital, one does NOT see one's own photos until hours, even days later. His negatives included a side view of the injured girl. When moments are so fleeting, would he have known he hadn't taken a front view?

Gary Knight vs. Nick Ut. Did an uncredited stringer take one of the Vietnam War's most famous photos?
