Algorithms don’t just rank posts — they shape the information environment. New research on X shows that algorithmic feeds increase engagement and influence which issues users see most frequently. More in the article ↓ @DCNorg digitalcontentnext.org/blog/…

New research on behavioral advertising and the federal ruling in United States v. Google LLC point to the same issue: control of ad tech infrastructure. This isn’t just a debate about tracking. It’s about market structure and who sets the rules. @DCNorg digitalcontentnext.org/blog/…

If that’s what digging a military base under a hospital means to Palestinians, that only shows how little regard they have for international law and how they expect its protections as a reward for abusing it.

Where are Ariel, for and Shiri Bibas?

Has anyone heard from the UN or the Red Cross this morning?

NEW Statement from Vice-President Harris: “Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C. we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric. I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation. I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way. I support the right to peacefully protest, but let's be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.”

You probably heard the news regarding Shani Louk. I do - however - want to explain to you what happened. This is Shani, by the way, 23 years old. A German-Israeli. She went to Nova music festival for a party. She’s the one who was filmed on Saturday laying face down on a pickup truck. Naked. Her leg terribly broken and dislocated. The crowd was seen spitting on her, poking her body. She was proudly paraded through Gaza. In recent days, the IDF conducted missions in the north part of Gaza and the area surrounding the border. Parts of Shani’s skull were found. She was partly beheaded. After lab and DNA tests a panel of experts reached a conclusion that she was murdered and a formal message was delivered to her family. She could have been your sister, your daughter, she could have been you. Shani’s body is still being held by Hamas in Gaza along with 228 other hostages. The Red Cross is still not allowed to see them, no information regarding their condition was shared. #BringThemHomeNow

Does anyone else feel the need to call all their Jewish friends and say, “Okay, you weren’t being paranoid.”?
