Such a grim state to be in with no end in sight.

The media has a curse, which is that they have to treat fucking lunatics like serious people if they are rich. The idea that the people running things could actually be very stupid and not smart at all is actually way too radical to entertain regularly.

Counter Terrorism Policing have released an update on the result of the ban of Palestine Action.

Since 5 July:
221 arrests for suspected offences under the Terrorism Act across UK, on suspicion of:
🧑‍🤝‍🧑1 membership
📣58 expressing support
👕162 wearing/displaying an article (including clothing, signs)

No wonder they struggle to stop real terrorists; they don’t actually know what one is

Yep and if there were such guidelines, we'd be shown them right? Just to make it clear that she isn't a lying right-wing shit.

If she meant a word of that, she would have to communicate it effectively to the police and they would have to stop doing it.

Want to be how that'll go?

Yvette Cooper now says the proscription of Palestine Action "does not affect the freedom to protest about Palestinian rights." Police, please take note. No more wrongful arrests. #Gaza #Palestine #BDS

PS: You may have read this story already. The BBC ran a version of it yesterday

We shared our FOI docs with their reporter and press office.
Their response? To publish the story - our story - without even notifying us.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. TAX THE SUPER-RICH TO CLOSE THE INEQUALITY GAP Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research has warned that Rachel Reeves will have to raise taxes in the Autumn Budget.

The Chancellor has a choice - continue to penalise people on the lowest incomes or tax the super-rich fairly.

We know what we would do 🤑

We also know who Rachael Reeves works for and it's Private Equity looters and sociopathic oligarchs, not for the rest of us.

So is dog poop to be fair.

Microsoft storing Israeli intelligence trove used to attack Palestinians Microsoft developed a customized version of its cloud platform for Israel’s Unit 8200, which is housing audio files of millions of calls by Palestinians.

It's a bit like having a homicide department that actually think they're supposed to commit murders instead of solving them.

So this government is like a homicide department that kills?

The way to tackle it would be “no inciting hate against minority groups” and maybe even “people engaged in deliberately inflammatory, reactionary culture war will be insulted and spat upon in the street”, but there are pretty obvious reasons why that isn’t going to happen in Britain, ever.

Like, I agree this is very bad but it looks much like the terror over particular foreigners buying the Telegraph and the Spectator: it’s fine to have incorporated hate outlets that are accountable to others within the Firm, but it’s unacceptable to have the same shit with no local control.

Are we worried billionaire media platforms are whipping up racist National Front hysteria, or are we worried a media platform is doing that *and it isn’t part of the British system of constant churning fear and hate*, so its owner and employees can’t be asked to tone it down in an offline chat?

I mean, what is this, an episode of the fucking Walking Dead? Why are we talking about whether basic human decency and goodwill towards people we don’t know puts us at mortal risk from strangers. What kind of politics is it that urges people to think like this?

Josiah Mortimer @josiah.writes.news • 1m New research out today: Amnesty International has found that X/Twitter played a central role in the spread of false narratives and content which incited violence against Muslim and migrant communities in the UK last summer A year after racist riots erupted across England and Northern Ireland following the murder of Bebe King (aged 6), Elsie Dot Stancombe (aged 7) and Alice da Silva Aguiar (aged 9) in Southport, Amnesty International has found that social media platform X played a central role in the spread of false narratives and content which incited violence against Muslim and migrant communities. Our analysis of X's open-source code reveals that the platform's content ranking algorithms prioritise the type of content that can spread misinformation and hate, with deeply inadequate safeguards to prevent human rights abuses. "Our research demonstrates that these design choices significantly exacerbated human rights risks for racialised communities in the wake of the Southport riots- and continues to present a serious human rights risk today," said Pat de Brún, Amnesty International's Head of Big Tech Accountability. Islamophobic and xenophobic rhetoric on X after Southport Attack Within hours of the murder of the three young girls and attempted murder of ten others by 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, incendiary posts by far-right influencers went viral on X. Within 24 hours, posts falsely claiming the attacker was Muslim, a refugee and/or a migrant who had arrived by boat reached an estimated 27 million impressions. Our analysis of the recommender system and the removal of safeguards at X demonstrate that it is set up to amplify this type of harmful content and that there are few safeguards to prevent it. The net result was a staggering amplification of hate speech and anti-migrant sentiment. Andrew Tate, a notorious online influencer, posted a video falsely claiming the attacker was an "undocumented migrant" who "arrived on a bo…

Perhaps it was a mistake to create a political/media system so strained and taut with far right hatreds that a single idiot squillionaire could reach across the ocean and effortlessly twang the country like a banjo string? Maybe, but it definitely isn’t that first part that we are blaming here.
