On Saturday I took a lady for skydive.. As we’re walking out to the plane i was doing a short interview and asking why she wanted to go skydiving.

She replied “I’m celebrating my freedom”.

She went on to explain to me that she had been in a Chinese prison for over 3 years and was only released 8 months ago.

She is a news reporter/journalist and was working in China at the time, but is an Australian citizen and lived in Australia the majority of her life.

She explained she was detained by the Chinese government after the Australian government wanted to formally investigate into the origins of covid and the potential of it originating from China.

Presumably the Chinese government didn’t like that idea, so they responded by gathering this lady, an Australian citizen, and tossing her into a jail cell as some kind of retaliation. She referred to it as hostage diplomacy, which is a WILD term and an insane strategy.

She remained in a cell for the following 3 years and 2months where she was only able to leave ONCE A MONTH to engage with the Embassy.

Her name is Cheng Lei.

It was an honour to take Cheng Lei for her first skydive - she absolutely loved it.

It’s impossible to not see the universe at work with meetings of this kind.
I will onboard her to bitcoin and nostr.

Facebook had a history of using AI algorithms to amplify disinformation ads because it makes them more moneyby increasing user time online per prior whistleblower reports. Given that more than 80% of Americans use Facebook/Instagram/Threads this habit of amplifying disinformation can undermine elections and democracy.

Former Instagram employee 'doesn’t think tech giant cares' if more teenagers lives are lost due to social media. Whistleblower Arturo Béjar says the company which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has “extraordinary” technical expertise and could easily stop its algorithm from recommending harmful content to teens but it’s seems they are choosing not to because it doesn’t want to make less money.

More people are arriving at the US southern border because they are seeking refuge because they have what the US government determines is a “credible fear” of persecution in their home countries on account of their race, religion, nationality, political opinions, or membership in a tribe or ethnic group.

Under the Trump administration, most migrants arriving at the southern border were from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Under the Biden administration, the number of migrants coming from those countries has been eclipsed by those coming from South America and the Caribbean. Migrants from China are among the fastest-growing populations at the southern border. There is also rising migration from India and Europe.

Facebook’s race-blind practices around hate speech came at the expense of Black users, internal documents showed. In fact Facebook/Instagram could turn off their race biased algorithms but they haven’t likely because they don’t want to lose any of the $130 billion in revenue they made in 2023. Given that around 80% of Americans get information from Facebook/Instagram they have a monopoly on information distribution which clearly hurts consumers as their algorithms have repeatedly been shown to be racist by their own internal documents, so they should be broken up by the FTC.

Russian election influence operation thrives on Facebook. Pro-Kremlin network “Doppelganger” is buying Facebook ads to spread divisive content on social media site ahead of EU election. Facebook has a history of using its algorithms to amplify voter suppression and misinformation content seemingly since 2016.

Facebook/Instagram Faces E.U. Investigation Over Election Disinformation. Facebook/Instagram could stop intentionally amplifying disinformation and voter suppression content by turning off their algorithms, but presumably they haven’t because it would cost them some of the $130 billion they made in advertising revenue in 2023. Given that Facebook/Instagram is intentionally using algorithms to amplify election disinformation and voter suppression content they should be investigated for election fraud.

Facebook asks court to dismiss FTC’s monopoly claims, saying the company’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp didn’t harm consumers. In reality more than 80% of Americans get information from Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp so they do have a monopoly and it harms consumers because the companies use AI algorithms that undermine the election process and democracy.

Shadow political ads thrive on Facebook during India’s 2024 election. Facebook is allowing users to buy and sell Facebook accounts that can run political ads in India, according to the Tech Transparency Project, a nonprofit watchdog group. Many of these usually vicious ads are backed by organizations that hide their identity and threaten the transparency of India’s electoral campaigning system. Facebook has a history of using its AI algorithms to amplify voter suppression ads in the US and apparently globally too because it makes them more money. Facebook should be investigated by the Department of Justice for election fraud.

Civil rights organizations are sounding the alarm over Meta Facebook’s decision to close CrowdTangle, which has been helping identify election threats. Researchers, journalists, election officials and others use the tool for real-time monitoring of social media platforms including Facebook’s algorithm promoted disinformation which threatens to undermine elections. Facebook has made a lot of money on seemingly intentionally amplifying disinformation and voter suppression content at least since 2016 and should be investigated by the Department of Justice for election fraud.
