To stop Gaza genocide, Canada must escalate pressure on Israel - CCPA
Canadian companies, with the approval of the Canadian government, are supplying military equipment for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Canada is sending hundreds of thousands bullets to Israel as it guns down children waiting in line for food. Not only should Canada cancel arms contracts, it should also cancel trade deals, punish Canadian investors in Israel, and expel Israeli diplomats.

Most English-language coverage of Spain's new platform law focuses on banning children from social media.
The bigger story is that they will begin holding companies (and executives) legally responsible for publishing illegal content & criminalize algorithmic manipulation that boosts it. Good news!

Once you see it you can't unsee it, the theory of change for these people is as follows
1. Cripple a nation's economy via collective punishment. 2. (Hopefully) induce protests about the economy as a result. 3 Take these protests as a casus belli to topple the regime. 4. Cripple it more if 2 fails.

It's worth talking about how these people, nominally Democrats, repeatedly reaffirm that the point of the sanctions ie collective punishment which in turn will hopefully induce internal regime change. It's outright stated here that even if Iran did zero enrichment sanctions should not be lifted.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

The Minister of AI having an "ongoing engagement" with the government of Israel on technology and AI is deeply concerning. No, it’s just plain wrong. It makes Canada vulnerable to international legal consequences, and it takes Canada far down the wrong path.

It’s fascinating to see Canadian media finally be more open about the US being a major disinformation threat. The nature of it has changed, but it’s long been the case.
It brings to mind when we were discussing foreign interference, but they would only discuss China and India, not US and Israel.
