⚡️NEW from Drop Site News | From Mutual Suspicion to Political Embrace: How the U.S. Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Pakistan From @worqas, @MazMHussain, and @ryangrim dropsitenews.com/p/pakistan-med…





Jake Sullivan on Gaza: Too many innocent people died in Gaza as a result of Israel's military operations. I woke up every morning and went to sleep every night thinking about what we could do to try to alleviate the suffering. I have also said that genocide, from my perspective, requires actually an intent to do the destruction — and not to fight a terrorist foe while conducting operations in a way that killed too many civilians. Should we or could we have done more? I ask myself that question every day. And the answer must be yes, of course, because too many people died and suffered. I think about what opportunity here or what chance there or what move there, and I play that back in my head.

🇦🇪 The New York Times reports that the UAE paid more than $6 million to the reputation management firm Terakeet between 2020 and 2022 to manipulate Google search results and suppress damaging reporting by Drop Site co-founder Ryan Grim, then at The Intercept, about Emirati Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba. The 2017 investigation examined allegations surrounding Otaiba’s ties to escorts and individuals linked to sex trafficking. According to the NYT, Terakeet responded by creating favorable profiles, using anonymous accounts to edit Wikipedia, and flooding the internet with SEO-optimized content designed to push Grim’s reporting off Google’s front page. By 2023, the article had reportedly been pushed as far back as page five of search results. The broader NYT investigation examines how wealthy corporations, billionaires, and politically connected figures use high-end “reputation management” firms to manipulate online narratives, suppress scandals, and reshape what appears in Google searches. The report also details Terakeet’s work for Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein and billionaire Robert F. Smith following his tax fraud case.

Translation: “I disowned my daughter because I’m insecure about my inability to control another human being’s identity, so I’d rather pretend she’s dead than admit she has her own mind.”
