Sure but we're actually far along on that one, as our Ukraine involvement for years has served to isolate europe (germany in particular) and strangle its access to fossil fuels

I don't disagree with the bulk of that, but this story isn't really centered on the media is it? And as for attacking "their own" infrastructure, well whose infrastructure exactly? The gaza genocide has shown us the blueprint of treatment for non-compliant populations.

It will probably be applied domestically more than it is internationally

It's the classic "What? I only read about it in the newspaper this morning!"

I meant to say--deciding (to empty) an area

But there is really no "both sides" when one dictates all the other's leaders and living conditions, down to deciding that an area that formerly had two million people who were ethnically cleansed out of the surrounding areas and cordoned into a camp with limited freedom of movement and nothing akin to what we enjoy (in theory) with the bill of rights.

I understand that you don't necessarily disagree with any of these points individually, but I think we wouldn't be "both sides"-ing segregation in the jim crow south, and the same dynamics apply here.

at least according to the founder, and maybe it was.. then why did cloudflare need to buy it up and destroy it?

Hamas was chosen by the netanyahu government so it isn't a level comparison. also, resisting occupation is legal under international law.

"The malicious advertisements were purchased by Discover-Tech, an Israeli company that presents itself as a legitimate advertising company, but which we found operates as a facilitator for multiple mercenary spyware partners"

"Yes that allows location services to continue working when you don't have GPS coverage while blocking data ... For those select users who for some reason want the WiFi completely off, the option remains there for you to do so."

You think the vast majority of people would not care whether their wifi antenna is on, but why assume that GPS is needed by the majority of people at all times enough to justify making it a hassle to disable wifi? What if I want one less antenna running in my pocket, is that somehow a luddite's sentiment?

I thought that setting just involves giving your phone number to apps.

The oddest thing is that I started receiving spam calls from "Google" under a 650 area code as soon as I turned off phone number verification.

At least the instructions were provided in the summary, which is more than can be said for a lot of stories about something that needs to be disabled.

*slaps hood of legislation* "Gonna parallel-construct so many arrests out of this baby.."

People focus on the case of trucks, but cops don't need another layer of subjective BS to question people over. They already arrest people for seeming inebriated even despite their passing a breathalyzer.

How convenient that the moon landing is somehow the sole metric for "winning space", after the soviets beat us to every other one until that point

No offense meant but expecting AI to solve this is naive when the AI companies are directly interested in rewriting history and being a source-of-truth for everything, as their massive book destruction campaign would lend to. There already are companies that try automated censorship with AI on comment sections, like OpenWeb--and they all suck on top of being biased! That company in particular exists to defend Israel, but pro-Israel commenters even complained that it deletes their comments, so it doesn't even serve its primary purpose let alone its ostensible purpose
