Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.

It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

For decades, Canadians eagerly rushed onto US tech platforms and services. But now the drawbacks of that dependence are on full display.

For the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, I explain the economic and political consequences of a US-dominated internet — and why digital sovereignty is imperative.

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference

‚A hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites live onstage during their talk at a hacker conference last week, with the sites yet to return online.
The pseudonymous hacker, who goes by Martha Root — dressed as Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers — deleted the servers of WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany….‘

Have you watched Cory Doctorow @pluralistic speech about:

A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (a speech at 39C3 in Hamburg on Dec 28, 2025)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39jsstmmUUs

It's about the high risk of being dependent on US #techology & why other countries should get rid of the anti-circumvention laws (that they were forced to implement with threat of #tariffs) that prop up US #tech companies.

Worth watching.

The US invasion of Venezuela is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Celebrating the capture of Maduro, Donald Trump went further, calling it an “attack on sovereignty” itself.

Countries the world over must work together to rein in the United States before it’s too late.

"In automation theory, a 'centaur' is a person who is assisted by a machine. You're a human head being carried around on a tireless robot body. Driving a car makes you a centaur, and so does using autocomplete. And obviously, a reverse centaur is a machine head on a human body, a person who is serving as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine." Start the New Year right by reading the transcript of @pluralistic's lecture for the University of Washington, a preview of his upcoming book about his thoughts on AI, and how to be a good AI critic. "AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."
