Initial thoughts on South Africa's brilliant presentation of its case for provisional measures in the Genocide case at the ICJ:

A thread

[Brian Winter @BrazilBrian]

What's happening in Ecuador right now is terrifying. These images of masked gunmen taking over TV station, invading university - President Noboa today declaring state of "internal conflict" - not sure we've seen anything quite like it in LatAm for many years. Yes, cartels & gangs effectively control areas of Mexico, Brazil and other countries but in Ecuador we're seeing direct assaults on centralized areas of power. Maybe not since the days of Pablo Escobar? Still developing

O Equador está pegando fogo.

E aqui embaixo conto como essa história chegou até aqui:

[João Paulo Charleaux @jpcharleaux]

O Equador declarou a existência de um conflito armado interno. Isso significa o emprego das Forças Armadas em perfil beligerante, militar, de guerra, não mais em perfil de Garantia da Lei e da Ordem. Vários direitos humanos podem ser legalmente suprimidos. Segue:

Man I gotta say, I’m sure other people are getting something out of this but all my direct contact with AI has been so depressing.
For example, I used to be part of a bunch of crochet groups and boards on social media and I’ve quit them all because now they are 90 percent

Two points about #SouthAfrica’s new #ICJ case against #Israel alleging violations of the #GenocideConvention re #Gaza. First, it's important to recall that at the provisional measures phase, the #ICJ does *not* need to determine whether Israel has committed acts of genocide. 1/7

ok, I've now read the full NYT complaint filed this morning vs OpenAI and Microsoft. I'm impressed - it's future-focused around fair value for work vital to democracy. It also contains 220k pages of exhibits although the pages of Ex J stood out to me. more on that in a minute. /1

O caso da Choquei é um triste trailer do que vai ser 2024: páginas de fofoca sendo cada vez mais espaço pra publi disfarçada, campanha política e desinformação. Entra na conta tb o debate sobre influência irresponsável e movimentos coordenados pra explorar as notas da comunidade.

Incrível nessa história é que, em algum lugar do Brasil, há um adv q achou inteligente a ideia de notificar @ITSriodejaneiro sobre essa “violação” a direito autoral.

À primeira vista, o referendo venezuelano no dia 3 de dezembro sobre a reivindicação de Essequibo terá poucas consequências reais. A campanha de Maduro para ressuscitar a questão é um ato de desespero para desviar a atenção pública da crise econômica. 🧵👇
