The vast majority of submitted notes – more than 90% – never reach the public. In early 2025, over 17% of English notes and 15% of Spanish notes remained unevaluated. Some were rated “not helpful,” and dismissed. But many are simply never rated at all, leaving them stranded in the system without ever entering a decision pipeline. For a program marketed as fast, scalable, and transparent, these figures should raise serious concerns.

A Deep Dive into X’s Community Notes: An Analysis of English and Spanish Contributions Between 2021 and 2025

The Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA) examined how X’s Community Notes system functions across English and Spanish, drawing from over 1.76 million notes submitted globally between 2021 and 2025.

Mumford & Sons – Babel (2012)

Ormai sono acclamati come rock star, ma guardateli in copertina: più facile scambiarli per impiegati in relax dopolavoristico. O in un gruppo di buskers di classe media, con le custodie degli strumenti appoggiate per strada. Il verdetto di “Babel”, secondo album dei lanciatissimi Mumford & Sons , è più che confortante. Se non la fantasia, i quattro ragazzi di West London hanno portato al potere passione, semplicità, una ventata di freschezza e di irresistibile comunicativa... rockol.it/recensioni-musicali/…

Chinese Scientists Create Cyborg Bees That Can Be Controlled Like Drones for Undercover Military Missions

Chinese Scientists Create Cyborg Bees That Can Be Controlled Like Drones for Undercover Military Missions

Researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology turned innocent bees into cyborgs that can be controlled via an insect brain controller.

Theorizing “Algorithmic Sabotage”

The “Manifesto” articulates a systematically structured sequence of ten distinct propositions, enumerated from 0 to 9, each delineating the underlying principles, strategic approaches, and aesthetic manifestations that shape the critical concept of “algorithmic sabotage” within the expansive and intricately interwoven frameworks of digital culture and information technology.

1. “Algorithmic Sabotage” is a figure of techno-disobedience for the militancy that’s absent from technology critique.
2. Rather than an atavistic aversion to technology, “Algorithmic Sabotage” can be read as a form of counter-power that emerges from the strength of the community that wields it.
3. “Algorithmic Sabotage” cuts through the capitalist ideological framework that thrives on misery by performing a labour of subversion in the present, dismantling contemporary forms of algorithmic domination and reclaiming spaces for ethical action from generalized thoughtlessness and automaticity.
4. “Algorithmic Sabotage” is an action-oriented commitment to solidarity that precedes any system of social, legal or algorithmic classification.
5. “Algorithmic Sabotage” is a part of a structural renewal of a wider movement for social autonomy that opposes the predations of hegemonic technology through wildcat direct action, consciously aligned itself with ideals of social justice and egalitarianism.
6. “Algorithmic Sabotage” radically reworks our technopolitical arrangements away from the structural injustices, supremacist perspectives and necropolitical authoritarian power layered into the “algorithmic empire”, highlighting its materiality and consequences in terms of both carbon emissions and the centralisation of control.
7. “Algorithmic Sabotage” refuses algorithmic humiliation for power and profit maximisation, focusing on activities of mutual aid and solidarity.
8. The first step of techno-politics is not technological but political. Radical feminist, anti-fascist and decolonial perspectives are a political challenge to “Algorithmic Sabotage”, placing matters of interdependence and collective care against reductive optimisations of the “algorithmic empire”.
9. “Algorithmic Sabotage” struggles against algorithmic violence and fascist techno-solutionism, focusing on artistic-activist resistances that can express a different mentality, a collective “counter-intelligence”.
10. “Algorithmic Sabotage” is an emancipatory defence of the need for communal constraint of harmful technology, a struggle against the abstract segregation “above” and “below” the algorithm.

Interventions:
- Trapping AI.
- Police Officers Faces.
- Technopolitics of Fronts.

Our analysis revealed a significant decline in the quality of information shared on Twitter/X following the platform’s ownership transition. Before the acquisition, both the Twitter panel and Decahose datasets exhibited slight improvements in information quality before the acquisition on October 27, 2022, but after the transition, this trend reversed, leading to a measurable decline in the credibility of shared sources. This pattern is evident across different measures of credibility and was confirmed by an interrupted time series (ITS) analysis, which detects a sharp decline immediately after the acquisition, followed by a sustained downward trend. These findings suggest that changes in platform governance and user behavior correspond with a deterioration in the quality of shared content.

After his staffer’s baby was woken up by a loud ad on a streaming service, a California senator took action to force streamers to turn down the volume on commercials. The entertainment industry is fighting it.

Proposed CA law would lower volume on streaming service ads

A California bill would ban loud ads on Netflix and Hulu, applying TV-style volume rules to online commercials

Hundreds of activists staged a protest outside the UN's “AI for Good” summit in Geneva demanding: No AI for genocide and war crimes.

The UN’s partnership with tech companies enabling Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza is:
UNethical
UNlawful
UNacceptable

By providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli military, UN tech partners Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Palantir and IBM are deeply complicit in Israel’s regime of apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians.

Israel’s is the first AI powered genocide.

We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to take the below actions.

AI’s impact on human rights is not limited to Palestinians. But as the “test subjects” for militarized technologies exported globally and as survivors of Israel’s ongoing, AI-assisted genocide, Palestinians are a canary in the coal mine warning the world of the catastrophic future of weaponized AI.

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner has registered three of the nine codes submitted to eSafety by the online industry, creating safeguards to protect children from exposure to pornography, violent content, and themes of suicide, self-harm and disordered eating.
The three include a code relating to search engine services, as well as codes covering enterprise hosting services and internet carriage services such as telcos.

“These three codes needed to create a high level of protections, especially for kids, to be registered. In particular, the fact the search engine code has achieved this is incredibly important as search engines are often the windows to the internet for all of us.”
