I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

This outcome seems like a great reason to be mad that Joe Biden ever tried to work with Netanyahu, and even more angry that the Democratic Party, which is staffed by people who knew what happened, is still very pro-Israel.

First sentence says it all: "Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required data centers to report how much water they use." Read the rest of the story though. from @ianjames.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...
California cracks down on water theft but spares data centers from disclosing how much they use
Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have required data centers to report their projected water use when applying for a business license.

When you think of it, gaslighting is problematic and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper accelerationist movement should seek to abolish it.

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.
