heise+ | Rechtsextreme Propaganda auf Facebook: Accountsperren vor Gericht

Die Duldsamkeit von Plattformen gegenüber hetzerischen Inhalten ist bei aller Redefreiheit nicht grenzenlos – nach deutschem Recht darf sie das auch nicht sein.

Several social networks (most prominently #Twitter) once offered some kind of "verified" mark for accounts that proved that they actually were who they claimed to be.

Imagine a social media made up exclusively of "verified" accounts, i.e. those of enough significance to merit being independently verified. In such a case, only "verified" accounts would have permissions to actually post anything. Ordinary users would have the ability to like posts and perhaps even comment or reply, but otherwise lack the ability to make their own original posts.

200M X (Twitter) user records leaked in a 34GB free-for-all—again.

Data enthusiast “ThinkingOne” released the files after allegedly failing to get a response from X. The breach combines:
・Data from a 2022 vulnerability X previously downplayed
・January 2025 breach data
・A total of 2.8 billion records spanning X user IDs, emails, bios, locations & more

X continues to deny its systems were the direct source of the leak. But researchers confirm much of the data is real—and the scale is unmatched.

The kicker? ThinkingOne believes this might’ve required internal access, or an attack of unprecedented sophistication.

Even without passwords, this treasure trove fuels phishing, impersonation, and targeted disinformation.

So, Trump announced a bunch of tariffs today. Basically everybody but Russia.

But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Fuck Lesotho in particular, apparently. 50% tariffs.

Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

Amerikkalaiset jättifirmat ovat taas ryhtyneet mainostamaan Twitterissä

Eivät suinkaan siksi, että Twitter/X olisi jotenkin houkutteleva mainosalusta, vaan siksi, että ne pelkäävät joutuvansa Elon Muskin "tuhmien listalle", joka saattaisi aiheuttaa isompiakin ongelmia.
