SCOOP: Arab and Muslim workers at Meta allege that its response to the crisis in Gaza is one-sided and out of hand. “It makes me sick that I work for this company,” says one employee.
But when a club for Muslim workers revealed plans to spend $200 in company funds to serve nine dozen cupcakes in watermelon colors at the event, Meta management called the offering disruptive.
Bellingcat is the world’s biggest citizen-run intelligence agency, investigating everything from the 2014 shoot-down of MH17 to the various plots to kill Russian dissident Alexei Navalny. The person behind it all? Eliot Higgins. wired.com/story/how-to-l…
Bellingcat’s trajectory tells a scathing story about the nature of truth in the 21st century. Hard facts have been devalued. Online, everyone can present, and believe in, their own narratives, even if they’re mere tissues of lies. wired.com/story/how-to-l…
The year ahead may be the biggest of @bellingcat's life. In addition to tracking conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, its analysts will also be flooded with falsified artifacts from elections in the US, the UK, India, and dozens of other countries. wired.com/story/how-to-l…
Even before Sam Bankman-Fried, Faruk Fatih Özer had built a crypto empire. Now, the 27-year-old is facing a prison sentence of 11,196 years.
Did he almost get away with the biggest heist in Turkey’s history, or was it a misunderstanding? WIRED deep dive: wired.trib.al/wMvxpYp
Following decades of political turmoil in Turkey, at 23, Özer founded a crypto exchange called Thodex by investing just 40,000 lira ($11,100 US). He advertised his company as a way to prevent economic volatility, using a playbook from Silicon Valley. wired.com/story/faruk-oz…
In a few years, thousands of people bought in. Thodex expanded, reaching the upper echelons of society and government. By March 2021, Turkey became one of the top five nations for crypto use and Özer’s company was booming. wired.com/story/faruk-oz…
