Paul M. Barrett: ‘We Want You To Be A Proud Boy’ How Social Media Facilitates Political Intimidation and Violence

"With a volatile election approaching, our new report reviews hundreds of social science studies on the question of the role social media plays in facilitating political intimidation and violence.

Our main finding is that the research consistently shows that social media is exploited to facilitate political intimidation and violence. What’s more, certain features of social media platforms make them particularly susceptible to such exploitation, and some of those features can be changed to reduce the danger."

This is literally why Musk bought Twitter: to enable propaganda and intimidation.

@TheEvilSkeleton So we're not remotely trying to out people's legal names. There's more context at element-hq.github.io/synapse/l… but it boils down to:

> We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as your name on government documentation or common-law names (names claimed by legitimate usage or repute). Unfortunately, we cannot accept anonymous contributions at this time.

If that doesn't work, let us know.

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) says world leaders pressured him not to apply for arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister and defense minister on allegations of war crimes in Gaza.

Karim Khan told the BBC, “Several leaders and others told me and advised me and cautioned me,” he said.

The state of Israel faces separate genocide charges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Israel refused to coordinate the entry of medical teams for polio vaccination east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry said on Thursday.

“This area contains a large percentage of the target group of children,” the ministry added.

The ministry appealed to relevant institutions “to urgently intervene to ensure the success of the vaccination campaign by reaching all children wherever they are.”

Wild weather is costing billions of dollars and putting the future of insurance in doubt

Late winter and early spring has been marked by wild weather sweeping large parts of Australia, damaging homes and businesses and causing power outages.

Such unpredictable weather is also occurring around the world and driving huge rises in premiums to the point where the future of insurance is in doubt.

In 2022, floods, hurricanes, hailstorms, winter storms and droughts amounted to more than A$149 billion in insured losses globally with losses growing five years prior.

The full impact and cost of the latest events in Australia will not be known for some time, but it can be expected to be significant.
