A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if Israel interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in Spain and Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.

These statements were the spark that lit the most widespread and powerful action in Italy in solidarity with Palestine: a nationwide day of strikes, blockades, marches, and clashes with police — who responded with brutal repression.

Under the slogan “Blocchiamo Tutto” (“We Block Everything” for Gaza), hundreds of thousands of workers and students led actions in at least eighty cities across the country — including in Milan, Rome, Naples, and Florence.

ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returns Tuesday night, but Nexstar and Sinclair are keeping the show off their affiliate stations.

Four Democratic lawmakers are opening a probe into Nexstar and Sinclair, two major TV station owners that are refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show amid criticism of his on-air comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In a letter, first obtained by NBC News, the lawmakers asked the corporate heads of both companies for more information about their decisions to pre-empt airings of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “how those decisions may relate to regulatory issues pending with the Trump administration.”

“If you suspended a late-night comedian’s show in part to seek regulatory favors from the administration, you have not only assisted the administration in eroding First Amendment freedoms but also create the appearance of a possible quid-pro-quo arrangement that could implicate federal anti-corruption laws,” the lawmakers wrote.

YouTube secretly used artificial intelligence to modify creators' videos without notification or consent, making subtle changes to their appearance¹. According to Rick Beato, who runs a YouTube channel with over 5 million subscribers, he noticed strange alterations in his videos - his hair looked different and it appeared he was wearing makeup¹.

The AI modifications included sharpening skin in some areas while smoothing it in others, defining wrinkles in clothing more clearly, and causing subtle warping of features like ears¹. YouTuber Rhett Shull, who investigated the changes, said "If I wanted this terrible over-sharpening I would have done it myself... I think that deeply misrepresents me and what I do and my voice on the internet"¹.

The unauthorized AI enhancements represent a concerning trend where artificial intelligence increasingly mediates reality before it reaches viewers, potentially eroding authentic connections between creators and their audiences¹.

YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our shared connections with real life?

YouTube announced it will restore thousands of channels that were previously banned for violating its COVID-19 and election integrity policies¹. This decision came in a 28-page letter from Alphabet to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on September 23, 2025².

The company acknowledged that Biden administration officials had pressured YouTube to remove content "that did not violate its policies," which Alphabet called "unacceptable and wrong"¹². YouTube's current guidelines now permit a "wider range of content" regarding COVID-19 and elections¹.

Notable figures who could return include Dan Bongino (now FBI Deputy Director), White House counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka, and others who were banned for discussing COVID-19 or election claims³. The platform will offer terminated creators a process to rejoin if they were banned for violating policies that are no longer in effect².

As part of this change, YouTube will also ban the use of official fact-checkers on its platform, instead launching a feature similar to X's "Community Notes" that allows users to provide context on videos².

Under the Biden administration, Google targeted conservative accounts for covering politically divisive topics, such as COVID-19 and the 2020 election.
