Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years.

This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption.

Thread

The name of this Israeli app was Onavo.

It promised to “secure your data” and reduce mobile data usage.

When Facebook bought it in 2013, Zuck said the app would help them connect more people to the internet.

Facebook even promised to keep Onavo running as a standalone brand.

But Onavo operated as a VPN that routed all your phone's internet traffic through Facebook's servers before sending it anywhere else.

Facebook could see:

• Every app you opened
• How long you used it
• Which websites you visited
• And at what time you used each app

[1/15] Este projeto analisa o uso de inteligência artificial generativa (IA), como a Gemini Pro e o 365 Copilot, para tornar acessíveis charges antifascistas da Segunda Guerra Mundial.

O estudo investiga implicações da mediação automatizada em acervos históricos.

Abaixo, siga o 🧶

2/15 De início, é preciso deixar claro que a IA é ponto de partida, não de chegada. Ela consegue otimizar a descrição formal, mas carece de densidade semântica, cultural e política.

Sem curadoria, a tentativa de produzir acessibilidade vira algo superficial. O olhar humano produz análise histórica e iconográfica, contextualiza e preserva a intencionalidade original da obra.

3/15 Foram geradas descrições acessíveis em formato Alt Text e legendas ampliadas para 16 charges de Fonsek (1942-44), peças de propaganda anti-Eixo que operam como instrumentos de guerra psicológica e propaganda.

La semana pasada me hice viral hablando de interiorismo. Muchos señalaron que me faltó comentar la pieza clave del Neopaquismo. Hoy por fin, os voy a hablar de ella:

LOS PERRHIJOS

Decía Blanca Portillo el viernes en EL PAÍS:
"Mi madre siempre me decía: 'No tengas ni marido, ni perro ni hijos porque están reñidos con tu profesión'. Lo del marido le hice caso. Lo de los hijos también, pero lo del perro hubo un momento que dije: 'Necesito cuidar de alguien'"

Ahí está todo.

El instinto de cuidado de las mujeres sigue ahí, latente, exigiendo salida. Pero en la vida moderna se canaliza hacia donde no molesta, donde no compromete, donde no ancla y donde es compatible con tu trabajo, con el capital.

The Candace Owens vs. Macron Lawsuit — A Complete Collapse in Real Time, a thread:🧵

If you are wondering why Candace seems to have completely lost her mind, it is because she probably has due to this lawsuit that is meticulous and devastating for her.

If you want to read the full article, check it out here on my Substack:

The lawsuit the Macrons just dropped on Candace Owens is not a “case.”

It’s a public execution with footnotes.

If you think this is about politics, you haven’t read the filings.

This is a clinic on what happens when someone mistakes YouTube engagement for reality.

Il lecito, l’obbligatorio e il proibito
di Giorgio Agamben

"Secondo i giuristi arabi, le azioni umane si classificano in cinque categorie, che essi elencano in questo modo: obbligatorio, lodevole, lecito, riprovevole, proibito.
1/

All’obbligatorio si oppone il proibito, a ciò che merita lode ciò che è da riprovare. Ma la categoria più importante è quella che sta al centro e che costituisce per così dire l’asse della bilancia che pesa le azioni umane e ne misura la responsabilità
2/

(responsabilità si dice nel linguaggio giuridico arabo «peso»). Se lodevole è ciò il cui compimento è premiato e la cui omissione non è proibita, e riprovevole è ciò la cui omissione è premiata e il cui compimento non è proibito,

1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in.

It’s darker than that.

Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline.

A thread 🧵

2: He isn’t just “a MAGA dude” advising Trump on Russia–Ukraine.
Witkoff is of russian descent, built his fortune through NYC networks flooded with post-Soviet criminal money, and is now pushing the kremlin wishlist so called “peace plan”
It’s not a coincidence.
It’s continuity.

3: In the 1990s, Manhattan’s luxury real estate became the #1 laundromat for russian criminal networks fleeing the collapse of the USSR.

The FBI has testified to Congress about this era. It was no secret.

And who rose to power right then?
Steve Witkoff & Donald Trump.

Suno just announced their partnership with Warner Music Group.

Here’s what this means:

They will be introducing content from WMG artists who opt in for the use of their names, images, likenesses, voices, and compositions to be used in new AI-generated music.

You’ll be able to build around participating artists’ sounds and ensure they get compensated.

They will begin developing a new generation of Suno models using high-quality licensed music.

I decided to do a deep dive to figure out what it would take for European voters to change the law to allow them to deport migrants. For instance, say the voters of Italy wanted to deport Syrian terrorists to Syria. What would they need to do, legally to get that outcome? 🧵

The blocker to this is the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), adopted in 1950 in response to Nazi atrocities.

Article 3 bans torture. You might think torture means e.g. waterboarding someone to extract information. But through the magic of case law it means much more.

From the 1950s to the 1970s, Article 3 just meant you couldn't torture people in the normal sense. In 1978 an ECHR case expanded the definition of torture (or rather "inhumane treatment") to be about suffering caused, not, you know, actual torture.

A Story of Decolonization, Liberation and Indigenous Restoration in music 🎶🎙️

My follower count got to 1967.

Being audio engineer/musician, got me thinking about a unique story, whose history traces back 2000 years in 1967. Homemade sounds & music set the mood in the video👇

2/x On a mid-spring day in Jerusalem, 1967, Teddy Kollek - mayor at the time - had 5 top composers commissioned to write a song for the Israeli Song Festival, on May 15th.

Naomi Shemer, then already known as a prolific composer, was the only one who wrote about what was asked...

어제 일본 "소금상" 남자를 소개했는데, 일본은 80년대 거품경제 시기에 소스상(서구적)과 간장상(일본 전통)으로 이미지를 분류하면서 사용하기 시작함. 그렇다면 소금상 이외에 대표적인 이미지로는 "간장상"과 "소스상"이 있어서 소개함

◾️간장상 (醬油顔, 쇼유가오)
소금상보다 이목구비가 뚜렷하지만 여전히 동양적인 단정함을 유지. 전통적인 일본 미남의 표준에 가까움
대표 연예인: 사토 타케루, 기무라 타쿠야

◾️소스상 (ソース顔, 소-스가오)
이목구비가 매우 진하고 뚜렷함, 굵은 쌍꺼풀과 입체적인 코, 서구적이거나 혼혈 같은 강렬하고 남성적인 인상. (한국에서는 '아랍상'과 유사)
대표 연예인 : 마츠모토 준, 타케노우치 유타카

개인적으로는 간장상 선호함 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

NEW: In a late-night filing, the Department of Justice confirms for the first time that Secretary Noem herself personally issued the order not to obey Judge Boasberg’s command that planes carrying hundreds of Venezuelan men to be imprisoned and tortured in CECOT be turned around.

Full filing here, which is DOJ’s position on the reopened contempt proceedings. They argue that they did not violate the court order, so there was no contempt.

The Supreme Court itself said that the men sent to CECOT did not get due process.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

In case it wasn’t clear, the characterization is mine.

As the excerpt indicates, DOJ has consistently said they don’t think Judge Boasbeg’s order required the planes to be turned around. However, a majority of the en banc DC Circuit recently suggested they disagree, as do I.

🚨Explosive Big Breaking - How anti India communist proxies are working for a regime change in India by connecting eliminated Naxalite Hidma and Delhi Air Pollution.🧵

Regime Change in India - Part 23

*Do you know that latest climate protests by Delhi based so called student activists are direct offshoot of Farmers Protests which started post Covid in 2021?
*Do you know that Naxal supporting Urban Naxals are neck deep in this climate protest glorifying eliminated Naxal Hidima?
Lets breakdown this grandstand plan of leftists and their communist proxies to breakdown India by spreading the anarchy in the name of climate and human rights!!
Read on..

1. The Red Sparrow

Do you know her?
Do you remember her?
No??
Do you remember Farmer protests propaganda??
Then you must have seen her??
Let me break the suspense!!
She is Nodeep Kaur, the famous propaganda labor activist who was arrested by Haryana police and for her release even then US Vice President Kamala Harris's niece Meena Harris posted on X with much fanfare support for farmer's protest.
Yes She is same Nodeep Kaur who rallied thousands of labor workers in Kundali Industrial area of Haryana to join Farmers protests to seize Delhi in 2021.
But how she is connected to Climate protest laced with Maoist Urban Naxal Propaganda which took place 2 days ago.
Let us find out in next parts of this thread.
Are you ready for a roller-coaster ride of leftist conspiracy to push for regime change in India??
Hop on..!!

2. The Communist Mother

Nodeep Kaur is daughter of Punjab Labor activist Swaranjeet Kaur.
Swarnjeet Kaur is a member of PUNJAB KHET MAZDOOR UNION which is largest Labor union associated with CPI ML in Punjab.
Swaranjeet Kaur is mother to 4 sons and 4 daughters.
Out of 8 siblings most infamous leftist activists are:
Rajveer Kaur
Nodeep Kaur
Harveer Kaur
Chakdeep SIngh/ Rampal Singh

Swaranjeet Kaur's husband Sukhdeep Singh is a Dalit laborer from Sri Muktsar Sahib district in Punjab, India.
For several years, including around 2019–2021, Sukhdeep worked in a workshop called Combined Repair in Telangana, leading to temporary family relocation and interruptions in the daughters' education. He returned to Punjab during the COVID-19 lockdown but continues seasonal labor work.

1/ Essential Ukraine #12 is out. The headline: diplomacy has returned earlier than expected. The Alaska framework is back in a more detailed form — driven not only by Washington, but by a quiet shift in Kyiv under the weight of cumulative crises.

2/ The current wave of leaks aimed at disrupting the process. After the Alaska draft, Zelensky & Europeans rushed to US to buy time. Today, Kyiv negotiates from constraint: a deteriorating battlefield, corruption-driven political shock, Europe’s shrinking fiscal capacity.

3/ Those seeking to disrupt a "bad deal" must reckon w/ battlefield reality: Russia now holds the operational initiative — in manpower, artillery, even in drones. The fall of Pokrovsk and accelerating pressure along Zaporizhzhia axis mark the fastest Russian advance since 2022.
