Stop the gatekeeping. The First Amendment is for all of us
Dear Friend of Press Freedom,
Rümeysa Öztürk has been facing deportation for 262 days for co-writing an op-ed the government didn’t like, and journalist Ya’akub Vijandre remains locked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement over social media posts about issues he reported on. Read on for more on what we’re working on this week.
Stop the gatekeeping. The First Amendment’s for all of us
In the early days of the internet, online news confused analog-era judges, who pondered questions like, “If this is journalism then why are there no ink smudges on my fingers?” These days, First Amendment advocates tend to chuckle when thinking back on that era. But apparently it’s not quite over yet.
Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) Senior Adviser Caitlin Vogus wrote for the Sun-Sentinel about a judge in Florida’s unfortunate ruling that YouTube-based outlet Popcorned Planet can’t avail itself of the state’s reporter’s privilege to oppose a subpoena from actor Blake Lively. The court’s decision would “effectively exclude any independent journalist who publishes using online platforms from relying on the privilege to protect their sources.” If it stands, “vital information will stay buried,” she explained.
And FPF Executive Director Trevor Timm spoke to Columbia Journalism Review about another subpoena from Lively that’s testing whether celebrity blogger Perez Hilton can claim the privilege. “Hilton is gathering information, talking to sources, and publishing things in order to have the public consume them. That fits the definition of a journalist,” Timm explained. As CJR noted, FPF’s U.S. Press Freedom Tracker “was one of the few to highlight the Hilton case.”
It’s not a question of whether Popcorned Planet and Hilton are great journalists or if they pass some editorial purity test. It’s a question of whether the courts will allow litigants to chip away at First Amendment rights that protect all journalists, no matter what platform they use to report or what subjects they cover.
Administration is trolling America with its FOIA responses
As The New York Times reported this week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement claimed it has no body-worn camera footage from Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, Illinois, despite a federal judge’s explicit order that agents wear and activate those cameras.
And as The Daily Beast reported, the Department of Homeland Security told FFP’s Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy Lauren Harper that Kristi Noem had no Truth Social Direct messages, despite her millions of followers. Harper requested cabinet officials’ messages in a Freedom of Information Act request after President Donald Trump accidentally publicly posted correspondence with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
As Harper told the Times, “They are trolling citizens and judges … ICE continues to feel increasing impunity and that it has the right to behave as a secret police that’s exempt from accountability.” FPF is, of course, appealing.
Don’t weaken Puerto Rico’s public records law
When the U.S. Navy quietly reactivated Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico earlier this year, some residents saw the promise of new jobs, while others saw it as a painful reminder of past harms from the American military presence on the island.
Puerto Ricans — and Americans everywhere — deserve basic answers about what the military is up to as tensions escalate with Venezuela and whether Puerto Rico’s government is coordinating with the Pentagon and whether their concerns are being taken into account. And of course, there are countless local issues Puerto Ricans are entitled to be informed about.
But at the moment when transparency is most essential, lawmakers are trying to slam the door shut.
Don’t just take our word for it…
Throughout 2025 we’ve been hosting online events platforming journalists impacted by anti-press policies at the national and local levels, so you can hear directly from the people we hope will benefit from our work.
Read about three of our recent events. This week’s panel features journalists whose reporting is complicated by sources unwilling to come forward due to fear of retaliation. Last week we spoke with journalists about the difficulties of covering the immigration beat during Trump 2.0, and last month we talked about the immigration cases against journalists Sami Hamdi and Ya’akub Vijandre over their support for Palestinian rights (shoutout to our friends at The Dissenter for writing up that event). And there are even more past events on our YouTube channel.

La cyber-formazione esclude il 70% delle persone
Il 70% della popolazione ha un cervello asimmetrico. Solo il 30% possiede quella configurazione cognitiva bilanciata che i manuali di formazione considerano standard. Eppure continuiamo a progettare corsi di security awareness, procedure operative e processi di sicurezza come se tutti ragionassero allo stesso modo.
Il risultato? Un fallimento sistematico che è certificato dai tanti report annuali sull’incidenza degli attacchi (in Italia e nel mondo). Non perché le persone siano stupide o disattente, ma perché stiamo addestrando cervelli che non esistono.
Il mito dell’utente medio
Le aziende spendono milioni in tecnologie di difesa, firewall sofisticati, sistemi di rilevamento delle intrusioni. Poi il ransomware entra dopo un click su un’email di phishing. Come sempre, l’anello debole è additato con vari nomignoli: “utonto”, Layer 8, “ID-10T” (idiota).
Ma il vero problema non è il fattore umano. Il problema è trattare le persone come variabili da standardizzare invece che come ecosistemi cognitivi da comprendere.
Un dipendente con ADHD non fallisce il test di phishing perché è distratto: fallisce perché la sua attenzione funziona diversamente e nessuno ha progettato contenuti adatti al suo cervello. Una persona autistica non ignora le procedure perché è rigida: le ignora perché sono scritte in modo ambiguo e il suo cervello richiede coerenza logica assoluta. Un dislessico non legge male le policy: il suo cervello privilegia informazioni visive e nessuno gliele fornisce.
Almeno il 15-20% dei dipendenti in ogni organizzazione ha qualche forma di neurodivergenza (il 70% secondo lo studio di Greenberg, Warrier, Allison e Baron-Cohen) E la formazione standard li perde sistematicamente.
La catena dell’infezione democratica
Lo stesso malware che ieri bloccava i server di una banca oggi cripta le foto della signora Pina sul suo PC di casa. Come? Con un messaggio WhatsApp dal nipote, la cui moglie lavora in quella banca e che ha preso il virus sul PC aziendale che si è diffuso automaticamente nella rete di casa. E viceversa.
La cybersecurity è profondamente democratica: le minacce non fanno distinzioni tra multinazionali e casalinghe, tra esperti e principianti. Colpiscono l’anello più debole della catena, che quasi sempre è una persona che viene colta in un momento di vulnerabilità cognitiva.
Un attimo di distrazione, un messaggio che arriva nel momento sbagliato, una richiesta urgente che bypassa ogni difesa razionale. E un link che sembra legittimo perché usa esattamente le parole giuste per il tuo profilo cognitivo.
I criminali lo sanno. Usano social engineering, messaggi di urgenza, false autorità, pressione emotiva. E funziona su tutti: dal CEO al parente che non sa distinguere tra un link buono e uno cattivo.
Il gap italiano
L’Italia è agli ultimi posti tra i Paesi UE per competenze digitali di base: solo il 45% degli italiani le possiede secondo l’indice DESI 2025 della Commissione Europea. Un gap che rallenta la diffusione di una cultura della sicurezza che dovrebbe essere educazione civile, come quella stradale o sessuale.
Ma il problema non è solo l’alfabetizzazione digitale. È l’approccio cognitivo. Continuiamo a erogare formazione come se tutti processassero le informazioni allo stesso modo, come se tutti avessero gli stessi punti deboli, come se una soluzione unica potesse proteggere configurazioni mentali diverse.
Le aziende più avanzate lo hanno capito e stanno investendo in programmi di security awareness che coinvolgono non solo i dipendenti, ma anche le loro famiglie. Perché hanno compreso che la sicurezza non si ferma al perimetro aziendale: viaggia attraverso le connessioni umane, i dispositivi e le reti personali, le abitudini domestiche.
Verso una difesa cognitivamente inclusiva
La soluzione non è fare più formazione. È fare formazione diversa. Progettata per cervelli reali, non per l’utente medio che non esiste.
Significa profilare cognitivamente le persone: capire come processano informazioni, quali sono le loro vulnerabilità specifiche, quali leve cognitive funzionano su di loro. Non per manipolarle, ma per proteggerle efficacemente.
Significa usare formati diversi per configurazioni cognitive diverse: video brevi per ADHD, procedure dettagliate e logiche per autistici, infografiche e mappe visive per dislessici. Non un corso unico per tutti, ma percorsi adattivi.
Significa applicare il principio “zero trust” anche alle persone: non fidarsi delle buone intenzioni, verificare costantemente i comportamenti, rimediare rapidamente quando qualcuno devia dal protocollo.
Significa trattare la vulnerabilità umana come si tratta la vulnerabilità tecnologica: assessment continuo, prioritizzazione del rischio, patching comportamentale, monitoraggio degli indicatori.
Il fattore umano come risorsa
La cybersecurity deve spostarsi da silos tecnologici isolati a una visione integrata che consideri come il comportamento umano dentro e fuori dall’ufficio influisca direttamente sulla protezione aziendale.
E deve smettere di vedere la diversità cognitiva come problema. Un team con membri neurodivergenti vede vulnerabilità che un team omogeneo ignora. Ma solo se i processi sono progettati per usare il cervello che hanno, non per forzarli ad adattarsi a un modello che non gli appartiene.
La domanda non è più “come addestriamo meglio le persone?”. La domanda è “come progettiamo sistemi di difesa che funzionano su cervelli reali?”.
Se vuoi approfondire come trasformare il fattore umano da vulnerabilità a risorsa attraverso modelli di security awareness cognitivamente inclusivi, il libroCYBERCOGNITIVISMO 2.0 – Manipolazione, Persuasione e Difesa Digitale(in arrivo su Amazon) propone framework operativi per gestire la vulnerabilità cognitiva come si gestisce il rischio tecnologico: con assessment, profiling, remediation e monitoraggio continuo.

Hidden Camera Build Proves You Can’t Trust Walnuts
Typically, if you happened across a walnut lying about, you might consider eating it or throwing it to a friendly squirrel. However, as [Penguin DIY] demonstrates, it’s perfectly possible to turn the humble nut into a clandestine surveillance device. It turns out the walnut worriers were right all along.
The build starts by splitting and hollowing out the walnut. From there, small holes are machined into the mating faces of the walnut, into which [Penguin DIY] glues small neodymium magnets. These allow the walnut to be opened and snapped shut as desired, while remaining indistinguishable from a regular walnut at a distance.
The walnut shell is loaded with nine tiny lithium-polymer cells, for a total of 270 mAh of battery capacity at 3.7 volts. Charging the cells is achieved via a deadbugged TP4056 charge module to save space, with power supplied via a USB C port. Holes are machined in the walnut shell for the USB C port as well as the camera lens, though one imagines the former could have been hidden purely inside for a stealthier look. The camera itself appears to be an all-in-one module with a transmitter built in, with the antenna installed in the top half of the walnut shell and connected via pogo pins. The video signal can be picked up at a distance via a receiver hooked up to a smart phone. No word on longevity, but the included batteries would probably provide an hour or two of transmission over short ranges if you’re lucky.
If you have a walnut tree in your backyard, please do not email us about your conspiracy theories that they are watching you. We get those more than you might think, and they are always upsetting to read. If, however, you’re interested in surveillance devices, we’ve featured projects built for detecting them before with varying levels of success. Video after the break.

Esce Kali Linux 2025.4! Miglioramenti e Novità nella Distribuzione per la Sicurezza Informatica
La recente edizione 2025.4 di Kali Linux è stata messa a disposizione del pubblico, introducendo significative migliorie per quanto riguarda gli ambienti desktop GNOME, KDE e Xfce. D’ora in poi, Wayland sarà il sistema di gestione delle finestre utilizzato di default, rappresentando un’importante novità rispetto alle precedenti versioni.
L’aggiornamento più recente trae spunto dalla versione precedente 2025.3 di settembre e vanta esperienze desktop perfezionate, un supporto guest VM potenziato in Wayland nonché una gamma di nuovi strumenti per la sicurezza offensiva.
Aggiornamenti dell’ambiente desktop
È importante sottolineare che GNOME ha abbandonato completamente il supporto per X11, spingendo Kali ad adottare Wayland come unico server Windows. Gli sviluppatori di Kali descrivono il passaggio come un’operazione fluida, grazie a test approfonditi e configurazioni aggiuntive per gli ambienti di macchine virtuali.
Tutti e tre gli ambienti desktop supportati, GNOME, KDE Plasma e Xfce, hanno ricevuto notevole attenzione. GNOME 49 introduce un’interfaccia più coerente e reattiva. Tra le modifiche più significative, una nuova categorizzazione degli strumenti nella griglia delle app, allineata alla tradizionale struttura del menu di Kali. Il lettore video Totem è stato sostituito con l’app più leggera Showtime e le scorciatoie da tastiera a lungo richieste per l’avvio dei terminali (Ctrl+Alt+T / Win+T) sono ora attive su tutti i desktop GNOME.
In Xfce, che rimane il desktop predefinito di Kali, è stato aggiunto un nuovo sistema di gestione dei colori, che finalmente raggiunge la parità con la personalizzazione visiva di GNOME e KDE. Gli utenti possono ora modificare i temi delle icone, i colori GTK/Qt e le decorazioni delle finestre tramite lo strumento Aspetto di Xfce e le utilità qt5ct / qt6ct.
Nuovi strumenti
Sono stati introdotti tre nuovi strumenti nei repository di Kali:
- bpf-linker – Un semplice linker statico per programmi BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter).
- evil-winrm-py – Una riscrittura in Python di Evil-WinRM, che consente l’esecuzione di comandi su macchine Windows remote tramite WinRM.
- hexstrike-ai – Un server MCP che facilita l’esecuzione autonoma di strumenti da parte di agenti di intelligenza artificiale.
Oltre agli aggiornamenti della toolchain, Kali Linux ha aggiornato il suo kernel alla versione 6.16, garantendo la compatibilità con nuovi hardware e funzionalità.
Supporto guest Wayland e VM completamente funzionante
Kali 2025.4 segna una pietra miliare nella transizione a Wayland, che ha sostituito X11 in tutta la distribuzione. Mentre GNOME ora impone ufficialmente sessioni esclusivamente basate su Wayland, Kali distribuiva Wayland di default per KDE già dalla versione 2023.1.
Uno dei principali ostacoli a un’adozione più ampia di Wayland è stato il supporto incompleto per le utilità guest delle VM, in particolare la condivisione degli appunti e il ridimensionamento dinamico delle finestre. Gli sviluppatori di Kali segnalano di aver risolto questi problemi in questa versione. Le installazioni virtualizzate di Kali su VirtualBox, VMware e QEMU offrono ora il supporto completo per l’aggiunta di VM guest su Wayland, allineandosi all’esperienza X11.
Altri aggiornamenti
La piattaforma NetHunter per Android ha ricevuto diversi aggiornamenti, tra cui il supporto anticipato ad Android 16 per le varianti Samsung Galaxy S10, OnePlus Nord e dispositivi Xiaomi Mi 9. Il terminale NetHunter è ora di nuovo funzionante, con supporto per la modalità interattiva Magisk, che garantisce una migliore stabilità della sessione.
Lo strumento di phishing Wifipumpkin3 è stato aggiornato con nuovi modelli per piattaforme comuni come Instagram, iCloud e Snapchat, ed è in fase di sperimentazione un nuovo terminale in-app (versione alpha).
Chi fosse interessato a provare Kali Linux 2025.4 può scaricarlo da qui . A causa delle limitazioni di Cloudflare CDN sulle dimensioni dei file (~5 GB) e del costante aumento del peso e della complessità dei pacchetti, l’immagine Live ISO è ora disponibile solo tramite BitTorrent.

Attacco informatico ai server del Ministero dell’Interno Francese
I server di posta elettronica del Ministero dell’Interno in Francia sono stati presi di mira da un attacco informatico. L’hacker è riuscito ad accedere a “diversi file”, ma al momento non è stata rilevata alcuna “grave compromissione”.
La notizia, rivelata da BFMTV , è stata confermata dal Ministro dell’Interno Laurent Nuñez alla radio RTL.
“C’è stato un attacco informatico“, ha affermato. “Un aggressore è riuscito ad accedere a diversi file “. La natura e il numero dei file coinvolti non sono ancora noti, secondo Laurent Nuñez, che ha specificato di non avere “tracce di compromissione grave” in questa fase.
Sono state implementate procedure di sicurezza standard e il livello di sicurezza è stato rafforzato, in particolare per quanto riguarda l’accesso al sistema informativo per tutti i dipendenti pubblici, che è stato rafforzato. Ciò include l’introduzione di un’analisi proattiva dei server e delle caselle di posta elettronica e l’implementazione sistematica dell’autenticazione a due fattori, secondo il Ministero dell’Interno.
Parallelamente, è stata presentata una segnalazione al procuratore generale Laure Beccuau. È in corso un’indagine giudiziaria.
Al momento non si prospetta alcuna ipotesi. “Esistono diverse motivazioni per un attacco informatico: a volte può trattarsi di interferenze straniere, di persone che vogliono sfidare le autorità pubbliche per dimostrare di essere in grado di accedere ai sistemi, e di reati informatici. Per ora, non sappiamo di cosa si tratti “, ha spiegato il ministro.
Alla domanda sulla possibilità di una violazione dei dati su larga scala, Laurent Nuñez ha assicurato che ” è stato predisposto tutto per impedirlo ” e per ” rafforzare immediatamente il sistema “.

Rats Get even Better at Playing DOOM
We all know that you can play DOOM on nearly anything, but what about the lesser known work being done to let other species get in on the action? For ages now, our rodent friends haven’t been able to play the 1993 masterpiece, but [Viktor Tóth] and colleagues have been working hard to fix this unfortunate oversight.
If you’ve got the feeling this isn’t the first time you’ve read about rats attempting to slay demons, it’s probably because [Victor] has been working on this mission for years now — with a previous attempt succeeding in allowing rats to navigate the DOOM landscape. Getting the rodents to actually play through the game properly has proved slightly more difficult, however.
Improving on the previous attempt, V2 has the capability to allow rats to traverse through levels, be immersed in the virtual world with a panoramic screen, and take out enemies. Rewards are given to successful behaviors in the form of sugar water through a solenoid powered dispenser.
While this current system looks promising, the rats haven’t gotten too far though the game due to time constraints. But they’ve managed to travel through the levels and shoot, which is still pretty impressive for rodents.
DOOM has been an indicator of just how far we can take technology for decades. While this particular project has taken the meme into a slightly different direction, there are always surprises. You can even play DOOM in KiCad when you’re tired of using it to design PCBs.

Unbeknownst to him, the training data contained CSAM.
As we’ve explained in previous stories, CSAM is a subject we dread covering not only because it’s one of the most awful things one could think about, but because it’s extremely difficult and legally risky. For understandable reasons, the laws around viewing, let alone possessing CSAM, are strict and punishing, which makes verification for reporting reasons challenging. For similar reasons, it’s something we need to write about very carefully, making sure we don’t wrongfully associate or whitewash someone when it comes to such horrible behavior.

Journalists warn of silenced sources
From national outlets to college newspapers, reporters are running into the same troubling trend: sources who are afraid to speak to journalists because they worry about retaliation from the federal government.
This fear, and how journalists can respond to it, was the focus of a recent panel discussion hosted by Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), the Association of Health Care Journalists, and the Society of Environmental Journalists. Reporters from a range of beats described how the second Trump administration has changed the way people talk to the press, and what journalists do to reassure sources and keep them safe.
youtube.com/embed/rIyRDQFEl4k?…
For journalist Grace Hussain, a solutions correspondent at Sentient Media, this shift became unmistakable when sources who relied on federal funding suddenly backed out of participating in her reporting. “Their concerns were very legitimate,” Hussain said, “It was possible that their funding could get retracted or withdrawn” for speaking to the press.
When Hussain reached out to other reporters, she found that sources’ reluctance to speak to the press for fear of federal retaliation is an increasingly widespread issue that’s already harming news coverage. “There are a lot of stories that are under-covered, and it’s just getting more difficult at this point to do that sort of coverage with the climate that we’re in,” she said.
Lizzy Lawrence, who covers the Food and Drug Administration for Stat, has seen a different but equally unsettling pattern. Lawrence has found that more government sources want to talk about what’s happening in their agencies, but often only if they’re not named. Since Trump returned to office, she said, many sources “would request only to speak on the condition of anonymity, because of fears of being fired.” As a result, her newsroom is relying more on confidential sources, with strict guardrails, like requiring multiple sources to corroborate information.
For ProPublica reporter Sharon Lerner, who’s covered health and the environment across multiple administrations, the heightened fear is impossible to miss. Some longtime sources have cut off communication with her, including one who told her they were falsely suspected of leaking.
And yet, she added, speaking to the press may be one of the last options left for employees trying to expose wrongdoing. “So many of the avenues for federal employees to seek justice or address retaliation have been shut down,” Lerner said.
This chilling effect extends beyond federal agencies. Emily Spatz, editor-in-chief of Northeastern’s independent student newspaper The Huntington News, described how fear spread among international students after federal agents detained Mahmoud Kahlil and Rümeysa Öztürk. Visa revocations of students at Northeastern only deepened the concern.
Students started asking the newspaper to take down previously published op-eds they worried could put them at risk, a step Spatz took after careful consideration. The newsroom ultimately removed six op-eds but posted a public website documenting each removal to preserve transparency.
Even as the paper worked hard to protect sources, many became reluctant to participate in their reporting. One student, for instance, insisted the newspaper remove a photo showing the back of their head, a method the paper had used specifically to avoid identifying sources.
Harlo Holmes, the chief information security officer and director of digital security at FPF, said these patterns mirror what journalists usually experience under authoritarian regimes, but — until now — have not been seen in the United States. Whistleblowing is a “humongously heroic act,” Holmes said, “and it is not always without its repercussions.”
She urged reporters to adopt rigorous threat-modeling practices and to be transparent with sources about the tools and techniques they use to keep them safe. Whether using SecureDrop, Signal, or other encrypted channels, she said journalists should make it easy for sources to find out how to contact them securely. “A little bit of education goes a long way,” she said.

Covering immigration in a climate of fear
As the federal government ramps up immigration enforcement, sweeping through cities, detaining citizens and noncitizens, separating families, and carrying out deportations, journalists covering immigration have had to step up their work, too.
Journalists on the immigration beat today are tasked with everything from uncovering government falsehoods to figuring out what their communities need to know and protecting their sources. Recently, Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) hosted a conversation with journalists Maritza Félix, the founder and director of Conecta Arizona; Arelis Hernández, a reporter for The Washington Post; and Lam Thuy Vo, an investigative reporter with Documented. They discussed the challenges they face and shared how they report on immigration with humanity and accuracy, while keeping their sources and themselves safe.

Immigration reporting has grown a lot more difficult, explained Hernández, as sources increasingly fear retaliation from the government. “I spend a lot of time at the front end explaining, ‘Where will this go? What will it look like?’” Hernández said, describing her process of working with sources to ensure they participate in reporting knowingly and safely. She also outlined her own precautions, from using encrypted devices to carrying protective gear, highlighting just how unsafe conditions have become, even for U.S.-born reporters.
Like Hernández, Félix also emphasized the intense fear and uncertainty many immigrant sources experience. Other sources, however, may be unaware of the possible consequences of speaking to reporters and need to be protected as well. “I think when we’re talking about sources, particularly with immigration, we’re talking about people who are sharing their most vulnerable moments in their life, and I think the way that we treat it is going to be very decisive on their future,” she said.
Journalists who are themselves immigrants must also manage personal risk, Félix said, “but the risk is always going to be there just because of who we are and what we represent in this country.” She pointed to the arrest and deportation of journalist Mario Guevara in Georgia, saying it “made me think that could have been me” before she became a U.S. citizen. She recommended that newsrooms provide security training, mental health resources, and operational protocols for both staff and freelancers.
Both Félix and Vo, who work in newsrooms by and for immigrant communities, emphasized the need for journalists to actively listen to the people they cover. “If you’re trying to serve immigrants, build a listening mechanism, some kind of way of continuing to listen to both leaders in the community, service providers, but also community members,” Vo advised. She also recommended that journalists use risk assessments and threat modeling to plan how to protect themselves and their sources.

‘Architects of AI’ Wins Time Person of the Year, Sends Gambling Markets Into a Meltdown#TimePersonoftheYear
‘Architects of AI’ Wins Time Person of the Year, Sends Gambling Markets Into a Meltdown
The degenerate gamblers of Polymarket and Kalshi who bet that “AI” would win the Time Person of the Year are upset because the magazine has named the “Architects of AI” the person of the year. The people who make AI tools and AI infrastructure are, notably, not “AI” themselves, and thus both Kalshi and Polymarket have decided that people who bet “AI” do not win the bet. On Polymarket alone, people spent more than $6 million betting on AI gracing the cover of Time.As writer Parker Molloy pointed out, people who bet on AI are pissed. “ITS THE ARCHITECTS OF AI THISNIS [sic] LITERALLY THE BET FUCK KALSHI,” one Kalshi better said.
“This pretty clearly should’ve resolved to yes. If you bought AI, reach out to Kalshi support because ‘AI’ is literally on the cover and in the title ‘Architects of AI.’ They’re not going to change anything unless they hear from people,” said another.
“ThE aRcHiTeCtS oF AI fuck you pay me,” said a third.
“Another misleading bet by Kalshi,” said another gambler. “Polymarket had fair rules and Kalshi did not. They need to fix this.”
But bag holders on Polymarket are also pissed. “This is a scam. It should be resolved to a cancellation and a full refund to everyone,” said a gambler who’d put money down on Jensen Huang and lost. Notably, on Kalshi, anyone who bet on any of the “Architects of AI,” won the bet (meaning Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei, Mark Zuckerberg, Lisa Su, and Demis Hassabis), while anyone who bet their products—“ChatGPT” and “OpenAI” did not win. On Polymarket, the rules were even more strict, i.e. people who bet “Jensen Huang” lost but people who bet “Other” won.
“FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCK Shayne Coplan [CEO of Polymarket],” said someone who lost about $50 betting on AI to make the cover.
Polymarket made its reasoning clear in a note of “additional context” on the market.
“This market is about the person/thing named as TIME's Person of the Year for 2025, not what is depicted on the cover. Per the rules, “If the Person of the Year is ‘Donald Trump and the MAGA movement,’ this would qualify to resolve this market to ‘Trump.’ However if the Person of the Year is ‘The MAGA movement,’ this would not qualify to resolve this market to ‘Trump’ regardless of whether Trump is depicted on the cover,” it said.
“Accordingly, a Time cover which lists ‘Architects of AI’ as the person of the year will not qualify for ‘AI’ even if the letters ‘AI’ are depicted on the cover, as AI itself is not specifically named.”
It should be noted how incredibly stupid all of this is, which is perhaps appropriate for the year 2025, in which most of the economy consists of reckless gambling on AI. People spent more than $55 million betting on the Time Person of the Year on Polymarket, and more than $19 million betting on the Time Person of the Year on Kalshi. It also presents one of the many downsides of spending money to bet on random things that happen in the world. One of the most common and dumbest things that people continue to do to this day despite much urging otherwise is anthropomorphize AI, which is distinctly not a person and is not sentient.
Time almost always actually picks a “person” for its Person of the Year cover, but it does sometimes get conceptual with it, at times selecting groups of people (“The Silence Breakers” of the #MeToo movement, the “Whistleblowers,” the “Good Samaritans,” “You,” and the “Ebola Fighters,” for example). In 1982 it selected “The Computer” as its “Machine of the Year,” and in 1988 it selected “The Endangered Earth” as “Planet of the Year.”
Polymarket’s users have been upset several times over the resolution of bets in the past few weeks and their concerns highlight how easy it is to manipulate the system. In November, an unauthorized edit of a live map of the Ukraine War allowed gamblers to cash in on a battle that hadn’t happened. Earlier this month, a trader made $1 million in 24 hours betting on the results of Google’s 2025 Year In Search Rankings and other users accused him of having inside knowledge of the process. Over the summer, Polymarket fought a war over whether or not President Zelenskyy had worn a suit. Surely all of this will continue to go well and be totally normal moving forward, especially as these prediction markets begin to integrate themselves with places such as CNN.

With OpenAI investment, Disney will officially begin putting AI slop into its flagship streaming product.#AIPorn #OpenAI #Disney
Disney Invests $1 Billion in the AI Slopification of Its Brand
The first thing I saw this morning when I opened X was an AI-generated trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom stood in a shapeless void alongside Captain America and Reed Richards. It was obvious slop but it was also close in tone and feel of the last five years of Disney’s Marvel movies. As media empires consolidate, nostalgia intensifies, and AI tools spread, Disney’s blockbusters feel more like an excuse to slam recognizable characters together in a contextless morass.So of course Disney has announced it signed a deal with OpenAI today that will soon allow fans to make their own officially licensed Disney slop using Sora 2. The house that mouse built, and which has been notoriously protective of its intellectual property, opened up the video generator, saw the videos featuring Nazi Spongebob and criminal Pikachu, and decided: We want in.
According to a press release, the deal is a 3 year licensing agreement that will allow the AI company’s short form video platform Sora to generate slop videos using characters like Mickey Mouse and Iron Man. As part of the agreement, Disney is investing $1 billion of equity into OpenAI, said it will become a major customer of the company, and promised that fan and corporate AI-generated content would soon come to Disney+, meaning that Disney will officially begin putting AI slop into its flagship streaming product.
The deal extends to ChatGPT as well and, starting in early 2026, users will be able to crank out officially approved Disney slop on multiple platforms. When Sora 2 launched in October, it had little to no content moderation or copyright guidelines and videos of famous franchise characters doing horrible things flooded the platform. Pikachu stole diapers from a CVS, Rick and Morty pushed crypto currencies, and Disney characters shouted slurs in the aisles of Wal-Mart.
It is worth mentioning that, although Disney has traditionally been extremely protective of its intellectual property, the company’s princesses have become one of the most common fictional subjects of AI porn on the internet; 404 Media has found at least three different large subreddits dedicated to making AI porn of characters like Elsa, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Tinkerbell. In this case, Disney is fundamentally throwing its clout behind a technology that has thus far most commonly been used to make porn of its iconic characters.
After the hype of the launch, OpenAI added an “opt-in” policy to Sora that was meant to prevent users from violating the rights of copyright holders. It’s trivial to break this policy however, and circumvent the guardrails preventing a user from making a lewd Mickey Mouse cartoon or episode of The Simpsons. The original sin of Sora and other AI systems is that the training data is full of copyrighted material and the models cannot be retrained without great cost, if at all.
If you can’t beat the slop, become the slop.
“The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, said in the press release about the agreement.
The press release explained that Sora users will soon have “official” access to 200 characters in the Disney stable, including Loki, Thanos, Darth Vader, and Minnie Mouse. In exchange, Disney will begin to use OpenAI’s APIs to “build new products” and it will deploy “ChatGPT for its employees.”
I’m imagining a future where AI-generated fan trailers of famous characters standing next to each other in banal liminal spaces is the norm. People have used Sora 2 to generate some truly horrifying videos, but the guardrails have become more aggressive. As Disney enters the picture, I imagine the platform will become even more anodyne. Persistent people will slip through and generate videos of Goofy and Iron Man sucking and fucking, sure, but the vast majority of what’s coming will be safe corporate gruel that resembles a Marvel movie.

Dozens of government websites have fallen victim to a PDF-based SEO scam, while others have been hijacked to sell sex toys.#AI
Porn Is Being Injected Into Government Websites Via Malicious PDFs
Dozens of government and university websites belonging to cities, towns, and public agencies across the country are hosting PDFs promoting AI porn apps, porn sites, and cryptocurrency scams; dozens more have been hit with a website redirection attacks which lead to animal vagina sex toy ecommerce pages, penis enlargement treatments, automatically-downloading Windows program files, and porn.“Sex xxx video sexy Xvideo bf porn XXX xnxx Sex XXX porn XXX blue film Sex Video xxx sex videos Porn Hub XVideos XXX sexy bf videos blue film Videos Oficial on Instagram New Viral Video The latest original video has taken the internet by storm and left viewers in on various social media platforms ex Videos Hot Sex Video Hot Porn viral video,” reads the beginning of a three-page PDF uploaded to the website of the Irvington, New Jersey city government’s website.
The PDF, called “XnXX Video teachers fucking students Video porn Videos free XXX Hamster XnXX com” is unlike many of the other PDFs hosted on the city’s website, which include things like “2025-10-14 Council Minutes,” “Proposed Agenda 9-22-25,” and “Landlord Registration Form (1 & 2 unit dwelling).”
It is similar, however, to another PDF called “30 Best question here’s,” which looks like this:
Irvington, which is just west of Newark and has a population of 61,000 people, has fallen victim to an SEO spam attack that has afflicted local and state governments and universities around the United States.💡
Do you know anything else about whatever is going on here? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at jason.404. Otherwise, send me an email at jason@404media.co.
Researcher Brian Penny has identified dozens of government and university websites that hosted PDF guides for how to make AI porn, PDFs linking to porn videos, bizarre crypto spam, sex toys, and more.Reginfo.gov, a regulatory affairs compliance website under the federal government’s General Services Administration, is currently hosting a 12 page PDF called “Nudify AI Free, No Sign-Up Needed!,” which is an ad and link to an abusive AI app designed to remove a person’s clothes. The Kansas Attorney General’s office and the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District Office in California hosted PDFs called “DeepNude AI Best Deepnude AI APP 2025.” Penny found similar PDFs on the websites for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Washington Fire Commissioners Association, the Florida Department of Agriculture, the cities of Jackson, Mississippi and Massillon, Ohio, various universities throughout the country, and dozens of others. Penny has caught the attention of local news throughout the United States, who have reported on the problem.
The issue appears to be stemming from websites that allow people to upload their own PDFs, which then sit on these government websites. Because they are loaded with keywords for widely searched terms and exist on government and university sites with high search authority, Google and other search engines begin to surface them. In the last week or so, many (but not all) of the PDFs Penny has discovered have been deleted by local governments and universities.But cities seem like they are having more trouble cleaning up another attack, which is redirecting traffic from government URLs to porn, e-commerce, and spam sites. In an attack that seems similar to what we reported in June, various government websites are somehow being used to maliciously send traffic elsewhere. For example, the New York State Museum’s online exhibit for something called “The Family Room” now has at least 11 links to different types of “realistic” animal vagina pocket masturbators, which include “Zebra Animal Vagina Pussy Male Masturbation Cup — Pocket Realistic Silicone Penis Sex Toy ($27.99),” and “Must-have Horse Pussy Torso Buttocks Male Masturbator — Fantasy Realistic Animal Pussie Sex Doll.”
Links Penny found on Knoxville, Tennessee’s site for permitting inspections first go to a page that looks like a government site for hosting files then redirects to a page selling penis growth supplements that features erect penises (human penises, mercifully), blowjobs, men masturbating, and Dr. Oz’s face.Another Knoxville link I found, which purports to be a pirated version of the 2002 Vin Diesel film XXX simply downloaded a .exe file to my computer.
Penny believes that what he has found is basically the tip of the iceberg, because he is largely finding these by typing things like “nudify site:.gov” “xxx site:.gov” into Google and clicking around. Sometimes, malicious pages surface only on image searches or video searches: “Basically the craziest things you can think of will show up as long as you’re on image search,” Penny told 404 Media. “I’ll be doing this all week.”
The Nevada Department of Transportation told 404 Media that “This incident was not related to NDOT infrastructure or information systems, and the material was not hosted on NDOT servers.This unfortunate incident was a result of malicious use of a legitimate form created using the third-party platform on which NDOT’s website is hosted. NDOT expeditiously worked with our web hosting vendor to ensure the inappropriate content was removed.” It added that the third-party is Granicus, a massive government services company that provides website backend infrastructure for many cities and states around the country, as well as helps them stream and archive city council meetings, among other services. Several of the affected local governments use Granicus, but not all of them do; Granicus did not respond to two requests for comment from 404 Media.
The California Secretary of State’s Office told 404 Media: “A bad actor uploaded non-business documents to the bizfile Online system (a portal for business filings and information). The files were then used in external links allowing public access to only those uploaded files. No data was compromised. SOS staff took immediate action to remove the ability to use the system for non-SOS business purposes and are removing the unauthorized files from the system.” The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said “WDFW is aware of this issue and is actively working with our partners at WaTech to address it.” The other government agencies mentioned in this article did not respond to our requests for comment.
