“I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC,” the Secretary of Defense declared as he discussed sensitive military operations with senior White House officials in a group chat to which the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine had been mistakenly added.
![The Hegseth message goes on to state, "Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive; 2)
Israel takes an action first - or Gaza cease fire falls apart - and we don't get to start this on our own terms. We can manage both. We are prepared to execute, and if I had final go or no go vote, I believe we should. This [is] not about the Houthis. I see it as two things: 1) Restoring Freedom of Navigation, a core national interest; and 2) Reestablish deterrence, which Biden Gratered. But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC"_ operations scurity. It welcome other thoughts:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreifjersuarvqenh6h5hixkctwx6hooqgocfnthnsqvq4buvhgsw7na@jpeg)

How do you make good journalism succeed on platforms that reward the qualities of MrBeast videos? You do not, as we’ve found. The news content that performs well on social media is increasingly further-removed from the standards valued by traditional newsrooms

Let’s be clear—the fact checkers have not “been” politically biased as Zuck suggests, but have been *perceived as such* because of politically motivated efforts to smear them, one that Zuck is now participating in and capitulating to. 1/
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces
He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."

“Those laws assume that commercial/PR pressures would force most large companies to stick by their policies and enforce them. They were written to avoid legal pitfalls around explicitly requiring moderation of legal content. But with political cover in the US, platforms are calling their bluff.”

As a colleague observed:
“It’s also a way of simplifying regulatory compliance - i.e. with the way the DSA requires large platforms to consistently and effectively enforce their Terms of Service (as a means to tackle 'legal but harmful' content). If you gut your terms they are easier to enforce”…
