Hundreds of girls report facing sexual harassment online but have no one to turn to for help.
This is what they want to change.

Northern Ireland was dubbed the "UK's most dangerous place to be a woman" just two months ago.
30 women have been violently killed since 2020.
An Irish man murdered his pregnant girlfriend and left her facedown in a dog bowl as a final humiliation
Where were the rioters then?

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal.
Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI:

The web is disappearing ๐ณ๏ธ
According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible.
But thatโs not the whole story.
In a new study published in Internet Archive's book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found:
16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine.
56% are preserved before they disappear.
Preservation is the remedy for cultural loss.

ALT Infographic titled โURLs Preserved in the Wayback Machineโ based on a dataset of 5.4 million URLs. It shows 26% of web pages are dead and 74% are still alive. Of the total, 10% have vanished completely, 18% are endangered (not yet preserved), 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine, and 56% are preserved. The visual uses a flow-style diagram to show how preservation reduces permanent loss.

WEIRD things happening by the Strait: A 'dead' ship goes dark and another tanker spoofs...
I've been ~monitoring the situation~ around Iranian ports during Trumpโs blockade with @SamDoak5 @SophiaMassam @_annoaam
โRaceโ, an oil tanker travelling towards the Strait of Hormuz yesterday went dark as it approached the Strait of Hormuz. Its location disappeared when it turned off its AIS signal at 10:12 UK time โ potentially to evade detection.
But thatโs not the only weird thing: Race is listed as a "dead" ship on tracking data, indicating another vessel might have taken its name to cross the waterway.

Another oil tanker, Palau-flagged 'Harbour Phoenix' appears to have spoofed its tracking signals.
@SamDoak5 spotted its AIS position jumping from Iranian coastal waters to the south of the strait on 19 March. Then, on 3 April, it was reported on land in Iran by a port close to Hormuz Island.
Its most recent reported location was just south of Bandar Abbas port near the Strait at 11:15 this morning

It seems to still be hanging around, throwing some interesting shapes in the ocean - at least according to its potentially spoofy AIS signal @MarineTraffic

If you've been in journalism ling enough, you recognize the pattern that every few years, the industry sheds great journalists to chase some new venture that almost instantly crashes and burns. And there are fewer and fewer great journalists still employed to cover that.

Strava, the gift that keeps on giving.
8 years ago, @Nrg8000 highlighted how the fitness app exposed sensitive military locations. And here we are again, the location of France's aircraft carrier exposed by a sailor's daily runs.
