TikTok blocks Epstein and anti-Trump videos under Trump-aligned ownership

 

American TikTok users are reporting that the platform is blocking the word “Epstein” and hiding videos critical of US President Donald Trump following the takeover by new Trump-aligned owners.

Since Sunday, numerous US users say their posts, especially those criticizing Trump or highlighting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Minneapolis and the protests that followed have been stuck at zero views or failed to publish altogether.

Users also note that simply typing the name “Epstein” prompts warnings that the term violates TikTok’s “Community Guidelines,” effectively shutting down discussion of the convicted sex offender, who once maintained close ties with Trump.

These restrictions came just days after TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, was forced to sell a majority stake in his US business to investors with strong ties to Trump.

The new ownership structure makes TikTok majority American-owned, with Oracle, an American company, holding a 15 percent stake, alongside MGX, an investment firm based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Silver Lake, an American private equity group. ByteDance remains involved but now holds only a 19.9 percent minority share.

Larry Ellison, the billionaire Republican donor who leads Oracle and counts Trump as an ally, will be a central figure in the platform’s US operation.  (more...)

Shadow Banning On X is Getting OUT OF CONTROL in 2026

 

Many users including myself have discovered that not only is X shadow banning users for mentioning Israel, Epstein, or engaging in anti-imperialist rhetoric, but they're also allowing other accounts to lie and post false information without penalty according to a comprehensive analysis by Grok. With the censorship on X and the new Zionist crackdown on tiktok, many users are leaving both platforms in droves and moving to Upscrolled.

What HAPPENED To Sascha Riley?

 

Allegedly, a male accuser has come forward in this Jeffrey Epstein debacle. Allegedly, his name is Sasha Riley. Now, this isn't new, but it is out and about going viral on social media, and I had to look into it a little bit only to find out that this person has been saying this for quite some time.

Why Qortal and Web3 Are Playing Two Very Different Games

 

Most Web3 projects look exciting on the surface.

There are new tokens, big promises, and some crazy price charts.

But when you zoom out, a pattern starts to show up.

In this video, I break down three things most people never stop to question:

• Where a coin’s value actually comes from
• What decentralization really means in practice
• Why so many launches feel like a casino

I also explain how Qortal took a completely different approach, from its fair launch to how QORT is actually used inside the network.

I essentially break down what Web3 was supposed to be, and where most projects went off the rails.

If you care about utility, decentralization, and sustainable Web3 projects, this one’s for you. Subscribe to ‪@qortalcommunity‬ if you want learn more!

Elon Musk’s X must be banned

Regulators need to stop cowering before the richest man in the world

Let’s be honest with ourselves: if a broadcaster or newspaper had started publishing thousands of non-consensual, sexually explicit images of women or — even worse — of children, politicians and regulators would be out for blood. It would be a front-page, ongoing scandal and the organization responsible would be quickly brought to heel because it would be so outrageous.

But when Elon Musk and his chatbot Grok do it, there’s somehow little more than crickets. Politicians are alarmed and say something needs to be done, but can’t quite say what that something is. Regulators say they’re investigating, as thousands more women and children are victimized while the richest man in the world continues treating the whole situation like a big game — or simulation.

Since Musk took over Twitter and mutated it into X back in 2022, the platform has taken a hard turn to the right, blasting conspiratorial and right-wing opinions into its users feed and encouraging the kind of vile discourses Musk seems to delight in consuming and engaging with. It has restored far-right accounts and sought to explicitly shape the narratives on issues to align with Musk’s increasingly extreme political positions.

There has been reason to take action against X for a long time. But if spinning up a chatbot that enables the creation of child pornography and for any user to undress any woman on the platform at their whim isn’t enough to finally ban it, what will ever force regulators and political leaders to take action?  (more...)

The Tech-Colony Complex: Silicon Valley, a Proxy State Orchestrating Regime Change in Iran

 

In Tehran, the streets are tense, the internet is down in many places. In a bid to try and stem a foreign-backed destabilisation operation, Iranian government has imposed a nationwide blackout, cutting citizens off from information, communication, and the outside world. Yet while state authorities scramble to maintain control, Silicon Valley quietly undermines sovereignty. Smuggled Starlink terminals from SpaceX beam uncensored internet into homes and streets, letting protesters livestream events, coordinate actions, and access unblocked platforms, a lifeline aligned with U.S. and Israel strategic objectives. This is not philanthropy. It is corporate-enabled geopolitical intervention.

A 2011 Stratfor email, disclosed by journalist Jeremy Loffredo on X, reveals that in 2011, Google, under Jared Cohen’s Google Ideas (Google’s “civic tech” incubator), explored how social media fuels modern “color revolutions” (protests/uprisings) by amplifying US-funded ‘citizen journalism’, which became Jigsaw in 2016, was operating at the Iran–Iraq border doing “what the CIA cannot do,” allegedly with tacit support from the White House and State Department. Jigsaw was and still is dedicated to applying technological solutions, which can be used in operations aimed at countering extremism, online censorship, and cyber-attacks to protect (or control) access to information.

In other words, where intelligence agencies are constrained by law, corporate actors move with impunity, using advanced technologies, social media, activist networks, and encrypted communications to shape the political fate of a sovereign nation. (Note that the post on Jeremy Loffredo’s X account (@loffredojeremy) that included the Stratfor email has since been taken down, though we captured it via screenshot.)

Long before today’s unrest, Cohen and Google Ideas were theorising and operationalising a model in which connectivity and digital tools could be weaponised to accelerate political upheaval under the guise of democracy. Every viral hashtag, encrypted message, and trending narrative can become part of a covertly orchestrated architecture of influence, tilting power, mobilising dissent, and reshaping the political landscape.

Even beyond Iran, major tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, have faced allegations that their infrastructure and AI services have been co-opted into Israeli military and surveillance operations in Gaza, enabling targeting and control of civilian populations. This underscores that Big Tech does not exist in a vacuum; its platforms are instruments of geopolitical strategy.  (more...)

Inside Canary Mission: Secret BlackNest site scans, tracks activists

 

An investigation reveals a covert network of unlisted websites, internal dashboards, and data pipelines used to monitor, pressure, and blacklist activists behind the scenes.

A network of unlisted websites tied to the pro-"Israel" doxxing group Canary Mission reveals a sprawling, professionalized operation that includes anonymous contributors, international tech vendors, marketing strategies, and a secret internal platform known as BlackNest. According to materials uncovered by Drop Site, BlackNest tracks firings, arrests, and deportations as measurable “company impact” metrics, outcomes the group openly celebrates.

BlackNest is one of several unlisted websites and content management systems used by Canary Mission, whose doxxing campaign operates out of "Israel" and has reportedly been leveraged by senior levels of the Trump administration. The information contained across these hidden platforms, ranging from names of staff and contractors to internal meeting notes, quarterly plans, and strategic documents, offers a rare look at how the operation has expanded and evolved.

The group’s non-public sites outline plans to broaden its efforts to punish Americans for pro-Palestine speech through doxxing and pressure campaigns, with arrests and deportations increasingly carried out by allies inside the State Department.

Web development material tied to BlackNest sheds light on how Canary Mission defines success. The platform categorizes outcomes under labels such as “change of behavior,” job loss, denial of entry to the United States, arrests, and “deportation/forced to flee.” The site also compiles media mentions, largely from US outlets, and highlights coverage that references Canary Mission’s influence.

Drop Site News previously reported on how donations flow to the group, but details about its staff, internal structure, and technical operations remained largely opaque due to Canary Mission’s secrecy. That changed after Drop Site obtained more than 100 gigabytes of data accessed through the backend of Canary Mission’s website, uncovering multiple live but intentionally hidden sites.  (more...)

BlackNest: Inside Canary Mission’s Secret Web of Unlisted Sites

 

One Canary Mission-affiliated website, BlackNest, reveals the group's internal operations, plans to expand, and how they celebrate deportations and firings

Notorious pro-Israel doxxing outfit, Canary Mission, has an army of anonymous doxxers, international tech vendors, marketing plans, and a secret website called BlackNest, where the group celebrates deportations and firings as “company impact” metrics, according to a collection of unlisted websites discovered by Drop Site.

BlackNest is just one of the names of several unlisted websites and content management systems used by Canary Mission, whose doxxing operation is run out of Israel and used by the highest levels of the Trump administration. The information on these unlisted websites—including dozens of names of workers and contracted vendors,internal communications about meetings and quarterly plans, and even strategic planning documents—demonstrates how the operation evolved over time.

Canary’s non-public websites promise expansion into new avenues to continue the group’s mission of punishing Americans for pro-Palestine speech via doxxing, pressure campaigns, and now arrests and deportations carried out by allies in the State Department.

BlackNest’s web development content reveals how Canary Mission thinks of its “wins” in its efforts to influence U.S. policy. The website categorizes the group’s impacts into categories: “Change of behavior,” job loss, denials of entry to the U.S., arrests, and “deportation/forced to flee.” The site also collects mentions of Canary Mission in media, mostly from U.S. news outlets, and celebrates mentions of their impact.  (more...)

Iranian hacker group Handala breaches phone of former Israeli justice minister

 

Handala also revealed the identities of 15 alleged Israeli signal intelligence officials

Iranian hacker group Handala announced on 3 January that it had breached the mobile phone of Ayelet Shaked, Israel's former justice minister, and obtained her private messages, documents, and other private information.

 "This time, our target was none other than Ayelet Shaked, the controversial figure and so-called security champion of the Zionist regime," the Handala group wrote in the first of a series of posts on X.

"For years, Shaked stood on podiums, preaching security, authority, and the fight against her enemies. But now, her messages, documents, and confidential information about Hamas, Iran, and behind-the-scenes decisions are in our hands," the group added.

The hackers released a collection of images and videos on X, which they said were extracted from Shaked's iPhone 15 Pro. Some related to Shaked's political activities, while others related to her personal life.  (more...)

Iranian hacker group ‘Handala’ says it breached Netanyahu chief of staff’s phone

 

While Netanyahu's office denied the claims, the group says it will release sensitive data involving Tzachi Braverman's contacts and information regarding the Qatargate scandal

Handala, an Iranian hacker group, claimed on 28 December that it had hacked the phone of a close aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and would soon publish sensitive details of corruption involving the prime minister and his inner circle.

The hacker group said it acquired the material by hacking the iPhone of Netanyahu's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, who was recently appointed as ambassador to the UK.

According to the hackers, some of the material to be released is linked to "Qatargate," a corruption scandal that erupted in Israel stemming from allegations that Netanyahu and his close advisers enabled, encouraged, or politically benefited from Qatar making payments to Hamas in the years before the 7 October Al-Aqsa Flood operation.

In a post on their X account, the hackers said they had broken into Braverman's iPhone and now possess "encrypted chats, hidden deals, shameful moral and financial indulgences, abuse of power, blackmail, payoffs."

Such a leak would give Iran access to his contacts, Netanyahu's internal security information, and other classified info.

The hackers said they had dubbed the breach "The Gatekeeper's Fall."  (more...)

Israel's IDF Has Infiltrated Social Media and Big Tech

 

We're joined by Manar Adley. She is the founder of Mint Press News, a really wonderful independent news organization based in the United States. Um, Manar, tell us about Unit 8200. So, this is a unit of the Israeli Defense Forces Intelligence Corps and you say that they have been able to infiltrate many aspects of the US that we don't even know about.

Weaponized Immigration & The Unfolding Of The Zionist's Globalist Plan

 

Joining me once again is Vanessa Beeley, here to follow up yesterday's interview with a more in-depth discussion on those issues as well the topics of censorship, Epstein, and the transgender movement. Overall, we focus on the rapidly encroaching globalist agenda, but without ignoring one of the most relevant, influential, and often omitted aspects of that discussion: Zionism. We also discuss the truth about ISIS and its US/Israeli connections, the way it is being used to destabilize and divide, and the weaponization of immigration alongside the demonization of Muslims at large.

YouTube and big tech censorship threatens global accountability, Palestinian rights groups say

 

After the U.S. imposed sanctions, YouTube took down over 700 videos from prominent Palestinian human rights groups. Rights advocates say this censorship goes beyond Palestine and affects the future of international justice and accountability.

In a stark escalation undermining global efforts to preserve accountability for Israeli violations, Palestinian civil society organizations have been hit by an unprecedented campaign to erase their digital archives and silence their documentation work.

What began as a U.S. political decision has now translated into sweeping and coordinated digital censorship, threatening decades of human rights documentation that formed the backbone of Palestinian legal submissions to international courts.

For years, Palestinian human rights groups have meticulously collected evidence of Israeli abuses, from targeted killings and home demolitions to torture and violations against detainees. Much of this work was compiled and submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) as part of ongoing investigations.

Yet, in recent weeks, YouTube removed more than 700 videos belonging to three of the most prominent Palestinian organizations: Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, Al-Haq, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR). These videos included testimonies from survivors, footage of military attacks, and forensic investigations that had become foundational to global human rights reporting.

The takedowns were triggered by U.S. sanctions imposed under Executive Order 14203, a measure introduced during the Trump administration to obstruct the ICC’s investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes

This digital crackdown does not occur in isolation. It follows years of systematic attempts to delegitimize Palestinian civil society, including the designation of several leading organizations as “terrorist institutions” by the Israeli government in 2021 and their subsequent outlawing by the Israeli military commander in the occupied West Bank. This classification paved the way for today’s intensified campaign to dismantle Palestinian documentation work both on the ground and online.  (more...)

Stalked in real time: Intellexa, the Israeli Predator in your pocket

 

Leaked training videos and new evidence expose Intellexa as more than just a rogue surveillance company. The Israeli firm stands as a pillar of Tel Aviv's global cyberwarfare infrastructure, infiltrating phones worldwide through 'zero-click' methods, ad-based infections, and covert partnerships with authoritarian governments.

New research published by Amnesty International exposes key operations of Intellexa, an Israeli-linked spyware consortium responsible for mass surveillance and human rights violations across multiple continents. This includes ‘Predator,’ a highly invasive tool that hijacks smartphones to exfiltrate everything from camera feeds to encrypted chats, GPS locations, and emails. It is just the latest example of an Israeli-linked spyware specialist acting with no consideration for the law. However, Amnesty’s report did not focus on this dimension and limited itself to the technical details, leaving the full extent of the legal violation largely obscured. Intellexa is among the world’s most notorious “mercenary spyware” purveyors. In 2023, the company was fined by Greece’s Data Protection Authority for failing to comply with its investigations into the company. 

An ongoing court case in Athens implicates Intellexa apparatchiks and local intelligence services in hacking the phones of government ministers, senior military officers, judges, and journalists. While Amnesty International exposes Intellexa’s spyware activities, it does not provide background on its founder, Tal Dilian, a senior former Israeli military intelligence operative, and is staffed by fellow Israeli spying veterans.

In March 2024, following years of damaging disclosures about Intellexa’s criminal activities, the US Treasury imposed sweeping sanctions on Dilian, his closest company confederates, and five separate commercial entities associated with Intellexa.

Yet, these harsh measures were no deterrent to Intellexa’s operations. The company’s service offering has only evolved over time, becoming ever more difficult to detect and increasingly effective at infecting target devices. Typically, civil society, human rights activists, and journalists are in the firing line.  (more...)

AI, Surveillance, and the Erosion of Democracy

 

In this episode, independent journalist Antony Loewenstein explains how Silicon Valley once promoted itself as the centre of innovation and connection, designing tools that would improve the world. 

Those days are long gone with many Silicon Valley “leaders” going full MAGA, embracing Trumpism, militarisation and Israel.

What does it mean for society and democracy when AI firms are wholly unregulated? How do we reclaim sovereignty over online spaces, social media and AI? 

Are we heading into a dark time where AI and unelected Silicon Valley “leaders” are taking us to a period of unprecedented disaster capitalism?

Apple flags threats as Intellexa leak exposes Israeli spyware reach

 

A new investigation reveals how "Israel"-linked Intellexa's Predator spyware is being used to target journalists, lawyers, and activists worldwide.

Apple issued another wave of cyber threat alerts to users across the globe, the company announced on Friday, underscoring its continued push to safeguard customers from digital surveillance attempts.

Apple is among several major technology firms that routinely alert individuals when it detects activity suggesting they may have been targeted by state-backed hackers. In its latest statement, the company confirmed that the notices were sent on December 2 but provided no additional information about the nature of the suspected spying, how many users were affected, or which actors might be responsible.

Past rounds of these warnings have sparked widespread attention and prompted government inquiries, including within the European Union, where senior officials have previously been targeted with sophisticated spyware.

Apple added that “to date we have notified users in over 150 countries in total.”

Apple's statement follows Google's Dec. 3 announcement that it was warning all known users targeted using Intellexa spyware, which it said spanned "several hundred accounts across various countries, including Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Angola, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, and Tajikistan."  (more...)

Handala hacking group breaches Israeli nuclear scientist’s data, sends him symbolic flower bouquet

 

A group of pro-Palestinian hackers has announced that it has infiltrated systems linked to Israel’s nuclear research sector, gaining access to personal details of a renowned Israeli nuclear scientist, Dr. Isaac Gertz. 

The Handala hacking group, in a statement on Saturday, said its breach targeted the Sorek Nuclear Research Center and that it had obtained comprehensive information about Gertz, including his personal profile, educational background, and addresses for both his home and workplace, associated with the Sorek and Saraf facilities.

The group further stated that it had delivered a bouquet of flowers to Gertz, signed by the Handala Truth Seekers Popular Resistance Front (HPR), which was left in the trunk of the scientist’s vehicle.

According to Handala, the move was intended to showcase the group's asserted physical and cyber infiltration, underscoring the vulnerabilities within the facility's security systems.  (more...)

AI weaponized: 'Israel' scrubs soldiers’ posts to hide atrocities

 

"Israel" expands surveillance to suppress dissent and control digital narratives.

"Israel" has introduced a sweeping artificial intelligence system, known as Morpheus, aimed at monitoring soldiers’ social media activity and preventing posts that could reveal evidence of war crimes.

According to the Zionism Observer, the program was developed to stop troops from "unintentionally sharing sensitive information that could be exploited by adversaries." Morpheus uses AI to scan videos, photos, and text shared online by Israeli forces and flags any content that violates information-security rules.

The pilot phase has reportedly covered 45,000 personnel in recent months and has already resulted in thousands of cases where soldiers were instructed to remove material from their accounts.

The rollout of Morpheus reflects mounting Israeli concern that digital traces left by soldiers could be used in international legal proceedings.  (more...)
