At least #Perplexity got one thing right:

-----
Multiple #independent #investigations and #leaked #internal #data confirm that #SocialMedia platforms—especially #Meta (#Facebook and #Instagram)—have engaged in #widespread, #systematic #censorship of #pro-Palestinian #content, often in direct response to #Israeli #government #requests[1][2][3][4][6][7]. This censorship has resulted in the #removal, #suppression, or #shadowbanning of tens of thousands of #posts and #accounts, with a disproportionate impact on users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, but also affecting users worldwide[2][3][4][6].

Key points from the evidence:

- Meta has complied with 94% of Israeli government takedown requests since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 90,000 immediate removals and the suppression of millions more posts through automated systems[2][3][4][6].
- The vast majority of these requests targeted #content #critical of #Israel or #supportive of #Palestinians, and only a tiny fraction targeted Israeli users[3][6].
- #HumanRightsWatch and other NGOs have documented this as a #global, #systemic pattern of #censorship, not isolated incidents[1][5][7].
- There is no comparable evidence of systematic censorship or suspension for users expressing pro-Israeli views; the #documented #bias overwhelmingly targets pro-Palestinian speech[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].

Human Rights Watch · Meta’s Broken PromisesThe 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

Becoming more clear that the threats to start thoroughly unnecessary #war with #Canada, #Denmark, and #Panama are serious. #Trump really intends to do it. Aside from an unconscionable act of aggression, it’s unwinnable, as it would split US military against itself. Suicide for the USA.

#Impeachment/ #removal of Trump has gone beyond “it’s the right thing to do” into “it’s absolutely necessary for the continued survival of the USA as a country.”

Today in Labor History February 24, 1831: The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was proclaimed. It was the first removal treaty of the Indian Removal Act. Under the treaty, the Choctaws in Mississippi gave up their land east of the Mississippi River (15 million acres) in exchange for cash and land in the West (present day Oklahoma). 5-6,000 Choctaws (25% of their population), chose to stay in Mississippi. However, settlers and white locals continually abused them, burning down their properties, attacking them, arresting them, and sometimes murdering them.

Mosholatubbee, chief of the Choctaw Okla Tannap ("Lower Towns"), one of the three major Choctaw divisions during the early 19th century, tried to get elected to Congress. 1834, Smithsonian American Art Museum. Wearing a green gown and medalian-like necklace, and holding a long tobacco pipe in one hand and feathers in the other.

On August 13 President #Biden toured #cancer #research #facilities at Tulane University in New Orleans and deemed the developments "incredible."

Why it matters:
⭐️He announced about $150 million in federal awards during the visit as part of his #cancer "#moonshot" initiative that aims to ❇️cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. ❇️

The big picture:

"We are the land of possibilities," the president said, adding that the funding will help get new tools into operating rooms.

Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year, and #surgical #removal is often the first step in their treatment, the White House said.

Tulane is getting $22.9 million to invent 💥new imaging systems that will allow surgeons to see in real time if they removed all cancer cells while their patients are still under anesthesia.
It currently can take days to weeks for doctors to know if all of a tumor has been removed, according to J. Quincy Brown, the lead researcher on Tulane's project called MAGIC-SCAN.
💥The goal is to get that down to 10 minutes within the next five years, he said.

Zoom out:
Seven other teams are working on additional developments geared at making #tumor-#removal #surgeries more successful.

The awardees are
Dartmouth College,
Johns Hopkins University,
Rice University,
University of California in San Francisco,
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,
University of Washington and
Cision Vision in California.

Their projects include inventing a #new #microscope and creating #new #imaging #systems to visualize blood vessels and nerves

Between 1932 and 1948, Yosef Weitz was the director of the Jewish National Fund's Land Settlement Department. He wrote in his diary:

On 1941, June 22:
"The land of Israel is not small at all, if only the [Palestinian] Arabs will be removed, and if its frontiers would be enlarged a little; to the north all the way to Litani [River in Lebanon], and to the east including the Golan Heights […] while the Arabs be transferred to northern Syria and Iraq […] From now on we must work out a secret plan based on the removal of the Arabs from here [and] to include it into American political circles."

On 1941, June 26:
"Through out the journey my reflections were focused on [the plan] of evacuating the country for us [the settlers]. Only through population transfer will redemption come […] There is no room for us with our neighbours […] They [the natives] are too many and too much rooted [in the country]. The only way is to cut and eradicate them from the roots. […] People and money will be transferred there. We will set up an apparatus from the Yishuv manned by distinguished experts and these will supervise the [Palestinian] Arab transfer and resettlement and a second apparatus will receive the [Jewish] redeemers and plant them in the land."

On 1948, April 28:
"Khayriyah and Saqiyah [two Palestinian Arab villages in the coastal plain] have also been cleared out. My plan is getting implemented."

In 1949:
"[During the British Mandate period, the JNF had purchased land] crumb by crumb. But now a great change has taken place before our eyes. The spirit of Israel, in a giant thrust, has burst through the obstacles, and has conquered the keys to the land, and the road to fulfillment has been freed from its bonds and its guardians-enemies [referring to the natives]. Now, only now, the hour has come for planning considered [regional] plans […] The abandoned lands will never return to their absentee [Palestinian Arab] owners."
