Twitter Data Breach Affects 5M
Massive Twitter data breach worse that reported; multiple hacks - A massive #Twitter #DataBreach last year, exposing more than five million phone numbers and email addresses, was worse than initially reported. We’ve been shown evidence that the same security vulnerability was exploited by multiple bad actors, and the hacked data has been offered for sale on the dark web by several sources.

Twitter advertising takes a hit
“In recent weeks, 50 of the top 100 advertisers have either announced or seemingly stopped advertising on Twitter. These advertisers have accounted for nearly $2 billion in spending on the platform since 2020, and over $750 million in advertising in 2022 alone.” https://www.mediamatters.org/elon-musk/less-month-elon-musk-has-driven-away-half-twitters-top-100-advertisers #Twitter #news

In South America, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires would go underwater. As for the United States, the world would watch as places like Houston, San Francisco, New York City, and the entire state of Florida slowly disappear into the sea. #ClimateChange
El virus de la #gripe cambia de cara cada año. Es capaz de mutar mucho más rápido que el coronavirus. Por eso, la inmunidad que generamos no nos sirve de un invierno para otro y la población vulnerable tiene que vacunarse cada temporada.
Ahora, un equipo de científicos ha probado con éxito en animales una candidata a vacuna universal de ARNm contra este patógeno.

@mjf_pro @Lady_Star_Gem Nope, disrupting Twitter was a tactical triumph for conservatives. Twitter had long been a tool of community, organization, education and information for marginalized communities. Helped Biden get 82 million votes. Disrupting Twitter is the modern techie bombing of the Black church or opening fire in a gay club. Or burning down Black Wall Street in Tulsa. Disrupting marginalized spaces is terrorism 101 for Christian nationalist white supremacists.
"...a publicly minded nonprofit with clearly outlined values, like Mozilla, would make a much better steward for a site like Twitter that so many people rely on."

#introduction The mission of the #Auschwitz Memorial is to preserve the site and all remains of the German Nazi concentration & extermination camp.
We commemorate the victims & educate about this part of human #history.
Tragedy of Auschwitz shows where hatred, #antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people in the past. Yet, it is a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective #responsibility for the world we live in.
Support our mission online. Amplify our voice.
