Very funny how the article keeps mentioning “spyware vendors” generally when it’s basically just the Israeli ones involved.

Could you explain what you mean?

Again, I have no clue what you’re talking about. I’m not going to live in a hut in the woods and neither are you.

Do you think you’re being insightful or something? That’s not even true, states sometimes compel and coerce firms for that information even when it may harm the profit incentive through reputational damage.

Almost like it has less to do with security and more to do with securitization of economic competition.

I have no clue why you’re posting an X user called “Syrian girl” next to an image of a guy who was reacting to civilians burning to death in a tent in front of him.

Planned obsolescence isn’t even in my top 10. The worst things about Big Tech are existential, like its use for mass espionage and murder by evil regimes.

I can think of a lot of other uses. ChatGPT is miraculously good at Arabic to English translation, where every other service before it has been relatively shit.

No, it is in fact a study conducted by several credible groups and the “shady history” you speak of consists of allegations from the state inflicting these crimes on children. The children are not suffering “from war”, they are suffering from crimes against humanity perpetrated by the principle actor.

That’s your only response?

Nothing we can do. Everyone in the Levant lives at the mercy of Israeli and US bombardment. The US will scrap the ICC, UNRWA and maybe even the ICJ itself to wipe Palestine off the map. Europe is a silent partner. The next 4 years are going to see a genocide in the West Bank too.

Meanwhile in response to Israel stealing more Syrian land, the US urged all parties to respect the 1974 Golan Heights Disengagement Agreement… despite being the only nation on earth to recognize Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights, which effectively voided the agreement entirely.

No, they said jury nullification for future violent crimes, not violent crimes that have already happened.

i.e “Hey guys, do you think a jury would let me off for killing Scrooge McDuck?” or “I think juries should nullify if someone decides to drop a piano on Scrooge’s head” and such.

Honestly its sort of fair and just basic ass-covering. If some dummy out there gets the bright idea that they can kill someone because they’ll get a jury nullification anyway, and it turns out they discussed that here, it’s not great legally. No one wants to end up like 8chan.

Eventually, Turkey and Syria will be strategic allies and hopefully Turkish industry and political cover can help Syria safeguard itself from Israel’s maniacal Lebensraum project.

Israel literally kept the Golan Heights as a buffer zone inside Syrian territory. It then annexed it and is now occupying new Syrian territory as a buffer zone for Golan Heights. Same in Gaza, same in Lebanon. This is an expansionist power which committs outrages against occupied Palestinians, then when Palestine’s allies invoke their right to protect Palestinians, it steals territory.

And only America and Europe can change that by ending their support for its settlements and military. Instead they scheme to undermine all of its neighbors, play on their Sykes-Picot divisions to ensure no progress is made unless it has the Israeli stamp of approval on it.

I support this move. Some here are delusionally arguing that this impacts privacy - the sort of data social media firms collect on teenagers is egregiously extensive regardless. This is good support for their mental health and development.
