A heartbreaking moment that was saved by an SS photographer at Auschwitz II-Birkenau during the deportations of Hungarian Jews. It was taken 81 years ago, most likely in late May 1944. A little child finds a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older

My piece in The Guardian this morning: EU race to rearm is pointless if hostile foreign powers can still use online algorithms to boost authoritarians to power across Europe. Europe’s new “Democracy Shield” should immediately shut them down. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I just can’t get over how inversely correlated likes and views are with reality. 849k views for the tweet on the left —which a lot of people want to believe – and almost none for the correction.

Sen Chris Coons upon learning of Trump’s proposal for Gaza. “You can report that I was speechless.” Coons then said: “That’s insane. I can’t think of a place on earth that would welcome American troops less and where any positive outcome is less likely."

Paras 54-56 show that Google CEO Sundar Pichai rejected or failed to act upon internal calls (example) to reform the Google's dangerous RTB system in 2021. Instead, Google plans to start releasing even more data, next month.

In reality, Google knew for more than a decade that its RTB advertising system is a security black hole. See paragraphs 47-48 of our complaint. iccl.ie/wp-content/upl…
