“#DanielJones, who has served as a bodyguard to #FarRight figure #AviYemini, said on #SocialMedia on Wednesday that he had walked unchallenged into the hotel lobby before he confronted #Albanese and asked him questions about #immigration.

Jones, a self-proclaimed self-defence #expert, has previously posted online that people should “train to make it easy to be able to #kill”.”

It's not common practice for automakers — in #China or elsewhere — to sue their customers, but Tesla has pioneered an aggressive #legal strategy & leveraged the #patronage of powerful leaders in the Chinese Communist Party to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability.

You folk in the US fretting over some rich guy buying influence in government.

Don't worry. That sort of thing is commonplace, and totally normal in western politics.

#AnotherAngryVoice | Starmer left Britain vulnerable to malign foreign influence

From the article: "One technique increasingly being used is creating and managing armies of fake accounts with generative artificial intelligence. We analyzed 1,420 fake Twitter – now X – accounts that used AI-generated faces for their profile pictures. These accounts were used to spread scams, disseminate spam and amplify coordinated messages, among other activities."
