THREAD: Weaponizing of Twitter in 2021 to spread denialism & manufacture consent for mass slaughter in Ethiopia, a mini case study. I bring up social media damage, both to urge @bsky.app to work on preventative mechanisms & to raise awareness of the horrors it has caused, far from western shores.

EU Border Agency: Use Aerial Surveillance to Save Lives at Sea

Frontex, the European Union’s Border and Coast Guard agency, should ensure that its aerial surveillance capacity is used to save lives at sea, Human Rights Watch said today. The organization met with Frontex executive director Hans Leijtens on April 2, 2025, to deliver an EU-wide petition calling on the agency to take concrete steps that would enable more timely rescues of vessels in distress.

🚨 £4.8bn in disability social security cuts — AND the govt ruled out input on the most damaging policies.

They're breaking their own rules by shutting out people with disabilities from decisions that will directly affect their lives.

An absolute sham.

🚨 MPs are being asked to vote on disability social security cuts without knowing the full impact.

This is a political choice. It’s cost-cutting at the expense of people with disabilities.

Reckless and cruel.

The death toll being worse than any conflict of the 21st century but was hardly a global talking point. So some of you may have missed the initiative of the governments of Ethiopia and Eritrea, mobilizing to manufacture consent for their war. Twitter played a critical role. I'll try and show how.

Ethiopia’s forgotten war is the deadliest of the 21st century, with around 600,000 civilian deaths

Estimates by European institutions and academics say over half a million non-combatants have died during the Tigray conflict as a result of a government blockade that kept out humanitarian aid

For everything in Tigray, Abbink uses a single investigation (JIT 2021) conducted in the presence of govt handlers and soldiers, during a time when the people being interviewed lived under military occupation by the alleged perpetrators, before the conflict was even halfway over.

Abbink, on the other hand casually dismisses the genocide in Tigray by repeating a well-worn argument based on a handful of posts on the first night of the war. We agree that these posts were, at best, premature. After a mountain of evidence, the point becomes moot.

The contributors to the report were legal and human rights experts with decades of experience. They based their analysis on publicly available evidence. They did not get their information from social media and are eminently more qualified than Abbink to issue this opinion.
