I searched a Gaza war crimes archive for my family.
I quickly realized I wasn’t using it the way most people would. I wasn’t browsing it as an activist, researcher or journalist.
I was looking for my family.
My heart sank as I filtered the archive by the dates we lost them and searched for someone I loved.
I found footage I hadn’t seen before of the bombing of the Church of St. Porphyrius, where my cousin Soliman was killed.
I searched for the day my great aunt Elham was murdered, and the day Nahida and Samar Anton were killed by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Catholic Church.
Eyewitnesses told us Elham was crushed by an Israeli tank. I have graphic photographs of her body that were sent to me by church workers in Gaza, but I found no footage of what happened.
It made me wonder how many people died without leaving behind any visual record.
The realization stayed with me.
Here was a digital graveyard where pieces of my own family history are preserved for journalists, historians, truth seekers and, undoubtedly, those seeking to exploit or consume human suffering.
I know I won’t be the only person to experience this. Other Palestinians searching for loved ones almost certainly will too. But it struck me that this is a form of grief that could scarcely have existed before our time.
It’s a form of grief I never imagined could exist.
YouTube has just taken down the political discussion clip about the EU's Chat Control, and the video is no longer viewable in the EU.
This has been confirmed by several parties. The video is still available outside the EU.
@puheenaihefi podcast is a Finnish current affairs program with 60k subscribers. In this episode, Peter Sund, CEO of the Finnish Information Security Cluster (Kyberala ry) offered pointed criticism of the EU's new Chat Control directive, which was enacted under questionable circumstances.
Because the media is in Finnish, it is highly likely the censorship request came from a Finnish government official or a related party.
This makes it troublesome.
Because the Finnish constitution §12 guarantees freedom of expression.
Preventing political publications is a criminal offence: Abuse of Official Position, punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to two years.

@Tea94852859@PietaPotato A lot of them barely speak finnish, or just fully refuse to. I've worked in a big amusement park, and had multiple swedish finn customers. 9/10 would NOT speak finnish or even english with me. They kept speaking swedish. Speaking swedish was not an requirement for the job.
Anne Frank cousin says as a Jew I speak out very clearly against the genocide in Palestine
“My great cousin anne If she were alive today she would speak out against the killing of Palestinians”
I DO NOT think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.
i hate how the current conversation around heatwaves is planting trees for shade and getting aircon rather than how are we gonna stop the temperatures from increasing even further
This man murdered his pregnant wife then strangled both his daughters and threw them in a water tank. This is the picture they use when they speak about him. Privilege is really wild to me.
80 yıl boyunca her yıl 120 gün ve günde 24 saat 12.000 btu bir klimayı çalıştırırsanız ömrünüz boyunca doğaya yaptığınız co2 salınımı 100 ton olacaktır.
bir süperyat haftada 109 ton
bir özel jet yılda 810 ton
co2 salınımı yapar.
yani ömrünüz boyunca yazları terleyerek geçirirken bir milyardar sadece bir haftada sizin ömrünüz boyunca kaçındığınız zararı doğaya verebiliyor.
Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”
Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”
Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”
Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”
people are really blaming the devistation of the european heat wave on "not having ac" and not on the last 200 years of the capitalist class destroying the future of everyone
israel is the most entitled nazi goverment i have ever seen, 80+ yrs of unquestioned loyalty by the west and now when they're asked to stop murdering lebanese children, they treat it like its another holocaust! they literally believe its illegal for others to defend themselves
