It took a little longer than expected, but we have created a website for people to view the footage collected from Gaza in one place. You no longer have to download the entire archives to see them.

It includes:

64,537 videos
17,905 photos
Ability to download individual videos
Searchable index
Exhaustive sources list (300+ journalists)
Geolocation data
Livemap with minute to minute updates
Victim list

It can be accessed here: https://t.co/s0Se94PXWF

Please share & quote tweet to help this post break out of the twitter algorithm prison.

We will keep adding the rest of the archives to the site, be patient- it is difficult work. Continue to seed the torrents provided, as that is the best way to ensure the footage remains stored in decentalized way.

God bless all those who sacrificed their lives to get this footage out, and everyone invovled in collecting/archiving it.

It's interesting how AI is constantly providing false information and incorrect statements about my area of expertise. Fortunately, it's very useful and always right about topics I know very little about.

We are not angry enough. Labour MP Peter Kyle had the police arrest his constituent in a dawn raid because…she emailed him about the Gaza genocide.
He tried to put her in prison for exercising her democratic right.
He tried to criminalise the act of speaking up about Gaza.

i watched every single major western news outlet deny the most obvious genocide in history

an underdiscussed aspect of modern capitalism is that most low-wage jobs tightly regulate what you're doing at all times while you're on the clock and most high-wage jobs consist of hours of unstructured time in front of the computer during which you can do whatever

Imagine blowing 30 years of search engine dominance—so much so that your website became a verb—only to kill your search engine in favor of a inferior product only tech bros and their sycophants like.

The man who wrote "Don't be evil" said he chose it specifically so it would be hard to remove.

Paul Buchheit, the engineer who later built Gmail, suggested the phrase at a Google corporate values meeting on July 19, 2001. About a dozen early employees were in the room, working through what their core values should be. The conversation had stalled on the kind of polite corporate statements that nobody disagrees with and nobody remembers.

Buchheit later explained why he picked those three words instead. He wanted something that, once you put it in there, would be hard to take out. He framed it as a jab at competitors who he felt were already exploiting their users.

Amit Patel, another engineer from the same meeting, scribbled the phrase on whiteboards across the company for months until it stuck. It went into the founding letter of the 2004 IPO prospectus. It sat at the top of the corporate code of conduct for seventeen years.

Then in 2018, Google quietly removed it from the preface.

The timing is the part everyone forgets. In March of that year, internal documents leaked showing that Google had signed a Pentagon contract called Project Maven, building AI to analyze drone footage. By April, over 3,000 Google employees had signed a letter to Sundar Pichai demanding the contract be cancelled.

The letter specifically cited "Don't be evil" as the standard the company was failing to meet. Dozens of engineers resigned in protest.

Sometime between late April and early May, the slogan disappeared from the code of conduct's preface. A Gizmodo reporter caught it by comparing Wayback Machine snapshots. Google never announced the removal.

What I find clarifying about the sequence is what it means structurally. The motto was designed in 2001 by an engineer who wanted a sentence his bosses could not erase if the company drifted. Seventeen years later, with the company being publicly accused of building drone targeting AI, his own employer responded by quietly erasing the sentence.

He had been right about exactly one thing. The phrase was hard to take out. It took a Pentagon scandal to do it.

Buchheit, who left Google in 2006, is now a partner at Y Combinator. He has not commented publicly on the removal.
