#Lebanon: Not only is the Israeli occupation causing physical destruction and arbitrary damage, but it is still weaponizing communications technology to terrorize people under bombardment. (1/7) 🧵 smex.org/digital-rights…

🚩New @amnesty research found that evacuation warnings issued by the #Israel military to residents of the southern suburbs of Beirut & south Lebanon were inadequate, and in some cases also misleading. 🧵 amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Access to X was restored in Brazil today after being blocked for 5+ weeks due to a standoff between M*sk & Justice Moraes @_Cesar_Munoz & I argue this case is a cautionary tale and platforms & authorities need to do a lot more to center human rights @hrw techpolicy.press/the-right-less…

Brazilians regained access to X today after +5 weeks of shutdown. The case highlights how easily people’s rights can be shoved aside. Whether rights are protected shouldn´t depend on the whims of corporations and authorities. Piece by @deblebrown and me: techpolicy.press/the-right-less…

What a profound moral rot one must have to look at images from Beirut & images of shredded children from Gaza and still think your ‘civilization’, your ‘democratic institutions’ & your way of life are somehow superior, worth something.

Lebanon is such a small country. When I tell people “my parents are safe, our village isn’t being targeted” what is left unsaid is that they live a 10-20 min drive from the neighborhoods Israel is striking. If you’re not a victim, you’re witnessing the tragedy in realtime

Biden calls massive bombs in a densely-populated area that leveled six apartment buildings in Lebanon “a measure of justice.” The torching of international law and the precedent that is being set should terrify us all.
