"We have freedom of action up to the Litani. We're operating to flatten the entire area in order to prevent those residents from returning... Both the houses and of course the vegetation" April 15: Israeli minister Miri Regev makes it clear that Israel's plan is the complete annihilation of South Lebanon. She "clarifies" that only the area south of the IDF's current front line (the so-called "yellow line") will be totally obliterated and made uninhabitable - in the area north of it, "a few Christian villages" will be allowed to remain, but "not a single Shia house" Aired on 103FM

"The hundreds of thousands of Shiite residents of southern Lebanon who evacuated from their homes will not return to their homes south of the Litani, until the safety of the residents of (Israel's) north is guaranteed" March 16: Defense Minister Israel Katz promises an indefinite ethnic cleansing of South Lebanon. He then states that he and Netanyahu ordered the army to destroy Lebanese border villages "just as was done against Hamas in Gaza in Rafah and Beit Hanoun, and other vast areas that were eliminated".

❗️🚨 Meta's AI will analyze users' bone structure and height for age verification, combined with text analysis of profiles, posts, and replies. Accounts flagged as minors are deactivated. The user is then forced through Meta's age verification process to regain access. Instagram and Facebook require users to be at least 13. To find accounts that violate this, Meta's AI will sweep entire profiles for "contextual clues" such as birthday mentions, school grades referenced in posts, profile information, and replies. A visual analysis layer runs alongside it. AI scans photos and videos for visual cues to estimate the user's age. Meta insists this is not facial recognition. According to the company, the AI looks at general traits and visual indicators (like height or bone structure) to estimate age, without identifying the individual in the image. Meta claims combining these visual signals with text and interaction analysis lets it find and remove far more underage accounts.

The hardest part about Digital ID is getting people to see the risk. There won’t be a “I’ll deal with it when it affects me” moment - by then, it'll be too late.

Despite having her passport suspended and being warned she could face criminal charges, a Korean activist chose to sail again toward Gaza. “I’m prepared to face those consequences gladly,” Haecho tells @annakook

IN FIVE DAYS, I was supposed to start my master’s in Canada. Instead of preparing my suitcase, I am trying to help my family survive war and displacement in Gaza. I graduated first in Civil Engineering. I had to defer my studies, but I am still fighting to hold on to the future I worked so hard for while helping my family survive.

In this week's episode of Sandy and Nora, we talk about the pressure that journalists face when they write about Gaza from an aggressive, racist and white supremacist movement that is trying to convince Canadians that Israel are the good guys. sandyandnora.com/episode-373-ha…

@declassifiedUK I’m so confused. I thought your top court overturned the terrorist designation for Palestine Action. I don’t understand what is happening over there.

🚨WATCH: Metropolitan police commissioner Mark Rowley pushed our chief video journalist Alex Morris after we asked him about the ban on Palestine Action. Is this how you expect the chief of police to act?

when the first news of Covid began to enter the news cycle many (of us) did not pay much attention to it; when scientist-friends of mine began to speak of it, so strangely I seemed not to "hear." only on March 20, 2020 when my university abruptly shut down & sent all students home did it strike us how serious the situation was; being in denial was swept aside within an hour as the real world rushed upon us. truly hoping that this new virus can be contained so that our natural predilection to deny its significance will not also be swept aside with rude abruptness.

two of my friends who died of Covid in early 2020 were highly educated, one of them a journalist & the other a medical practitioner; each was adamantly independent & dismissive of "scare stories" about the new illness said to be highly contagious. they died literally because they were too stubborn to believe that they could die so suddenly since they believed they were in perfectly good health.

With Bill 5, the Ontario government can nullify all laws, rules and regulations in any area, by designating it a Special Economic Zone. Cabinet can designate any area (anywhere, of any size) a SEZ, and give it to whomever it wants, for any reason. Don't even have to notify us.
