For You "Elon Saved Free Speech" White Knight Assholes: Read the New Terms of Service Released Today X just updated their Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Here's what you agreed to: AI TRAINING RIGHTS GRAB: Everything you post becomes training data for their AI models. Every thought, opinion, creative work. You're building their models for free. No compensation. No opt out. PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything. FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court. ARBITRARY TERMINATION: They can delete your account "for any other reason or no reason at our convenience." Years of content, connections, reputation. Gone. Zero due process. $15,000 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Access more than 1 million posts in 24 hours and you owe $15,000. Per million. Journalists and researchers investigating the platform face financial ruin. GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURE: They reserve the right to hand your DMs, drafts, and entire history to governments based on what they "reasonably believe" is necessary. ANTI-JAILBREAK CLAUSE: Testing their AI systems, exposing censorship mechanisms, or security research is now explicitly a Terms violation.

MAXIMUM LIABILITY $100: They destroy your business, reputation, or life through negligence? Maximum recovery: one hundred dollars. Free speech platform. Sure.





Sometimes I don’t get things right and I’m not afraid to say so. When @bbclaurak asked me a question about mental health ‘overdiagnosis’ my answer was poor - and our evidence base on mental health, autism and ADHD is, too. We’ll put this right 👇🏻 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A terrifying CNN report reveals how Israel buried hundreds of starving Palestinians alive. “Bulldozed corpses and unmarked graves — CNN investigates the fate of Gaza’s missing aid seekers.” edition.cnn.com/2025/12/03/mid…








Best confirmation that Israeli culture cherishes life: Israeli children singing songs that glorify genocide, IDF snipers killing Palestinian children for sport, and Israeli settlers celebrating burning down Palestinian villages.




The IDF quietly moved the yellow line 300 meters forward and then started shelling Palestinians for being on the "wrong side" of the yellow line.

Govt minister @AlexJJNorris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.
