The BBC published another one-sided report accusing Israel of war crimes. This time they feature a retired U.S. officer with no dates, no evidence, and no context. It’s not the first time the BBC pushes a biased anti-Israel narrative.
Social media is flooded with pro-Palestinian posts that ignore Hamas’s role in the conflict. October 7, human shields, aid theft, and rocket misfires are barely mentioned. When one side dominates, the truth gets lost.
Conflicts like Sudan or Congo, where thousands die, barely get attention. The selective outrage says it all.
Maybe it's because Israel is viewed as a "modern"/"western" nation, and shouldn't be doing these kinds of things, whereas Sudan and Congo are not.
Hamas had it coming, but I'm not sure much can explain the starvation random children are experiencing, that they weren't before, except Israel trying to extract some toll on the Palestinian people.
I think anti semitism is more common than it appears on the surface level, even when people say "criticizing Israel isn't criticizing Jews in general", but a lot of it actually is. But that doesn't explain all criticism.
This sounds weird to say, but I'm actually okay with kids getting blown up in bombings if there were legitimate military targets there and no other choice. But starvation takes a long, concerted effort to effect.
I'm constantly amazed by the fact that in California, one of the world's most expensive places to live, with a GDP rivaling that of some countries, a company like PG&E is responsible for providing electricity and gas. Surely, we can expect a higher level of service?
This is unfortunately easier said than done. You'd expect Twilio to let you set a max spending limit in your account settings. Instead this is what they tell you to do: https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223132387-Prote... (notice the PHP snippet too)
Essentially, setting up a webhook to receive alerts from Twilio, and then calling a Twilio API to suspend the account. Your webhook better be up and running flawlessly if you don't want to go bankrupt. Why can't they do it themselves?
This may unnecessary discriminate people from countries which is not your main market and digital nomads using local SIMs. Better is to have per-country (or even per-operator) rate limits which are low by default but high for countries you have a lot of users from.

In this case it seems to just be data scraped from people’s public profiles, but would you say the same thing if their more private data, like phone number, was leaked?
