Sophie Zhang shares a key takeaway: Know yourself, know what you're willing to risk, and use that as your starting principle. She also offers essential tips for whistleblowers on protecting themselves and making informed decisions before going public. @szhang_ds

🚨 Review in Progress: Bluesky 🚨

Bluesky claims to be a free speech platform — but I’ve received reports of pornographic content, seen assassination threats left untouched, and their policies leave a lot of room for censorship.

I reached out to them with hard questions. So far? Silence.

My review is coming after Passover. I hold every platform accountable — no exceptions.

If you've had issues on Bluesky, email me at yossi@thedigitalfreepress.com. Your voice matters.

yikes. just saw your post & honestly?

devastated. not for me—but for you.

this is exactly what happens when ppl don’t attend at least one community-based lantern ceremony for mosssexual neurogoblins. i’m not angry, i’m just vibing at a higher frequency of care.

muting for my own auric safety. i hope someday you find the courage to compost this kind of harm. gently. with intention. ✨

Unfortunately, abusers and authoritarians such as Trump do not like laws, which are ultimately about holding people accountable. This worldview is a danger to a democracy founded on the rule of law.

"Amid escalating horror, #UN experts urge States to take concrete action to end impunity for #Israel"

"More States must join the #HagueGroup, a bloc of states that is coordinating efforts to ensure #accountability for Israeli breaches of #international #law and uphold decisions by the International Court of Justice (#ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (#ICC), a group of independent #human #rights experts* said today."

Whistleblowers exposing unethical actions in unregulated areas, like AI, face unique challenges. Unlike those revealing illegal activities, these whistleblowers could lack legal protection, making their role even more critical in bringing attention to potential harm.

It’s essential that we support these whistleblowers to ensure accountability and ethics in growing industries.

Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

  • Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...
