🇺🇸🇮🇷 Sec. Rubio on the negotiations with Iran: "The President is going to make a good deal or no deal." The most repeated sentence of the Iran war.

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv

🚨BREAKING: Mass censorship on social media as Israel burns following Iranian missile strikes. Here’s how it all works: Last night, Iran launched the 19th wave of attacks targeting Tel Aviv, with dozens of ballistic missiles hitting their targets. Previously, Israel has enacted a sweeping censorship law that media outlets and even social media platforms like X have complied with. The level of censorship has gone far beyond previous methods of silencing - introducing new tactics, armies of bots, and even companies threatening their own users. After Israel’s military authorities introduced a mass censorship directive banning citizens and media from filming Iranian strikes and the damage caused by them, fewer and fewer videos have been appearing online. The videos that do leak out are immediately targeted by swarms of bots claiming they are AI-generated, reporting both the footage and the users who posted it as accounts spreading fake content. X itself has warned users of demonetization and possible account suspension if they share what it considers AI-generated war footage, creating fear among users to post videos even when, for example, Grok claims the footage is real. Meanwhile, war propaganda continues daily, showing powerful strikes on Iran, while almost no one questions the authenticity of those videos. This kind of censorship and manipulation cannot last longer than two weeks, because the damage and the casualties will be seen even by those who do not use social media. When the coffins start arriving and mothers begin to cry, that will not be something that can be censored.
