Amy Acton was nine when it started. By the time she was 12, her stepfather was arrested and charged. He fled with her mother and was a fugitive until his death.
He was guilty. She was a child.
It is breathtakingly horrific for Vivek to victim-blame a child 50 years later.
Elon is now threatening the United States Government if he is investigated after the midterms. You know what eliminates those threats? Seizing all of his assets, nationalizing SpaceX, and putting him on trial for treason against the United States and war crimes against Ukraine. If he wants to threaten with all his money, take away all his fucking money.
We all feel in our guts that this is happening online. Yet our politicians seem feeble and powerless, unable to assert sovereignty in our online spaces as they do offline. There is a real need for a paradigm shift. We need to recognise social media as a form of public square which cannot be left to the self interesed whims of for-profit foreign companies to control and govern. Democratic governments need to take a more robust role in the regulation of online spaces, and platforms need to be legally liable for the content posted on them. For Australia, the senseless attack on @helenhainesindi makes this more urgent than ever.
The central question is will our politicians and governments have the courage to do more than just tinker?
NEW: Italy’s Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said the recent riots in Milan and other parts of Italy were the result of what he called a hybrid war being waged against Western countries through unconventional tools such as TikTok, social media and YouTube.
Crosetto said that
The WSJ editorial board states outright: “…there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests.”

BREAKING | 🇺🇸🇺🇦‼️ Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has threatened to cut funding to U.S. federal agencies involved in restricting Ukraine’s military access to Starlink, warning that Congress will respond if American authorities are found responsible.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Fitzpatrick said federal agencies implicated in limiting Ukraine’s military communications could face financial consequences. “If we leave Ukraine in the dark, there will be consequences. Mark my words,” he warned, adding that agencies would not receive funding if they failed to fulfill their responsibilities. Fitzpatrick indicated that congressional action would follow if the allegations surrounding Starlink restrictions were substantiated.
🔥 Fitzpatrick’s warning highlights growing tensions within Washington over decisions that could weaken Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities. Reliable satellite communications are essential for Ukrainian military coordination, and restrictions on their availability could create serious operational risks. His intervention also demonstrates that opposition to measures undermining Ukraine is not confined to Democrats, with Republican lawmakers increasingly willing to challenge decisions made under Trump’s administration.

Richard Branson: "The Trump administration has become an appeaser of autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world."
