Hundreds of girls report facing sexual harassment online but have no one to turn to for help.

This is what they want to change.

NEW story for @CNN As Equals from me and the brilliant @cnni team & exclusive research in collaboration with @PlanGlobal

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal.

Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI:

The web is disappearing 🕳️

According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible.

But that’s not the whole story.

In a new study published in Internet Archive's book, VANISHING CULTURE, data scientists working with the Wayback Machine have found:
16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine.
56% are preserved before they disappear.

Preservation is the remedy for cultural loss.

It seems to still be hanging around, throwing some interesting shapes in the ocean - at least according to its potentially spoofy AIS signal @MarineTraffic

WEIRD things happening by the Strait: A 'dead' ship goes dark and another tanker spoofs...

I've been ~monitoring the situation~ around Iranian ports during Trump’s blockade with @SamDoak5 @SophiaMassam @_annoaam

‘Race’, an oil tanker travelling towards the Strait of Hormuz yesterday went dark as it approached the Strait of Hormuz. Its location disappeared when it turned off its AIS signal at 10:12 UK time – potentially to evade detection.

But that’s not the only weird thing: Race is listed as a "dead" ship on tracking data, indicating another vessel might have taken its name to cross the waterway.

[Lydia Morrish (@lydmorrish.bsky.social) 👩🏻‍💻 @lydmorrish]

Another oil tanker, Palau-flagged 'Harbour Phoenix' appears to have spoofed its tracking signals.

@SamDoak5 spotted its AIS position jumping from Iranian coastal waters to the south of the strait on 19 March. Then, on 3 April, it was reported on land in Iran by a port close to Hormuz Island.

Its most recent reported location was just south of Bandar Abbas port near the Strait at 11:15 this morning

I’ve contacted the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) about both strikes on B1 bridge in Karaj, a city near Tehran.

They responded: “We're not aware of such IDF strike”.

If you've been in journalism ling enough, you recognize the pattern that every few years, the industry sheds great journalists to chase some new venture that almost instantly crashes and burns. And there are fewer and fewer great journalists still employed to cover that.
