Why not just impose strict regulatory laws on handling of user data and impose fines for everyone who breaks these rules? Oracle hosts most if not all user data in the US so any investigations are already completely possible. Sure you would have to impose the same laws for all (even american) social media sites, but that's a win for every single person on this planet...

Non-Jewish Arabs in the basic laws of Israel do not have rights to self determination. Its a fucking apartheid state. Its like saying millions of native Africans lived in South Africa. These people only had a reason to attack because they live in an open air prison that mirrors a Warsaw ghetto with complete siege from their neighbor. A lot of the things they did was retaliation and a deep brewing anger. What the fuck were they supposed to do? March peacefully? Israel shot them by the thousands in 2018 when they tried to. where is your humanity?

You are ridiculous. First you spread misinformation about the ICJ ruling, bending what the ruling meant. Now you are trying to use a 'no, you' card to bend my words and pretend that there hasn't been a racist campaign against Palestinians and Arabs for decades.

There were likely rapes that occurred on October 7th, and there have been rapes of Israeli detained Palestinian hostages as well. How can you not see that one is now being used as a racial justification for genocide while the other is ignored.

What's controversial is the depiction of Palestinians as rapists and outlining a systemic, racial, or cultural issue of rape within Arab populations, then pointing to the few instances it does occur as proof for a racist point of view.

Both parties are guilty of rape and sexual assault. None of that is okay. However only one is being racially profiled as having an innate proclivity for rape.

  • group offers diversity inclusion consulting, whatever that means

  • steam user curates list to tell people to avoid games solely because a diversity consulting group was onboard.

  • I go to curated list and click on games to check on reviews

  • People review bomb random games with shred of involvement with said company, including smaller devs

  • Many reviews say the game is too 'woke'. These people's profiles are inflammatory or bigoted

i fucking hate gaming magazines

“You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen,” Biden said. “So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don’t we just get together and get it done?”

Biden touted the bipartisan border bill as “a win for the American people,” calling it a “truly bipartisan initiative.” He called on the Senate to reconsider the bill, asking senators to “set politics aside” and for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to put the bill on the floor.

“We need to act,” Biden said, adding that Republicans in Congress needed to “show a little spine.”

Its a temporary cease fire. Even so, Israel has broken ceasefires hundreds of times since protective edge.

Israel has said it will not compromise on its goal of toppling Hamas in Gaza, suggesting it will not agree to a long-term truce.

Incredible the NYT talks about the major concessions that Israel has made with no mention of the obviously ludicrous terms that Israel has offered. Israel has made it clear the goal is a complete displacement and settlement of Gaza.

That is not what the ICJ ruling means. They do not have the power to convict nations or individuals of genocide. It was simply a preliminary hearing to see if a full trial is warranted. You're misrepresenting the courts decision either ignorantly or maliciously.

Why am I not surprised that clicking on your profile leads to a history of genocide denialism.

Unfortunately, this is the title the official editorial board chose. To be abundantly clear, a cease fire is the only moral position.

I wanted to open people's eyes to the fact that 'factual' and 'audited' papers often peddle misinformation.

I post this not because I support this headline, on the contrary this is abhorrent and morally bankrupt. Instead I'd like to draw your attention to a disturbing trend I've noticed recently of posting 'mediabiasfactcheck' to build a standing around a certain paper.

Mediafactcheckbias is not a valid way of establishing credibility nor does it adequately portray the level of bias.

See here:

How can one take the fact check seriously when this should invalidate any legitimacy the WSJ has? They are not only biased but are purposely questioning the death toll of Gaza since it comes from Hamas medical officials, which has been independently verified for decades. They are intentionally conflating the militant group with the ministry of Gaza in an attempt to dismiss the scale of this atrocity.

Please stop posting media bias fact check and please stop taking them seriously.
