Meta devised an ingenious system (“localhost tracking”) that bypassed Android’s sandbox protections to identify you while browsing on your mobile phone — even if you used a VPN, the browser’s incognito mode, and refused or deleted cookies in every session.This is the process through which Meta (Facebook/Instagram) managed to link what you do in your browser (for example, visiting a news site or an online store) with your real identity (your Facebook or Instagram account), even if you never logged into your account through the browser or anything like that.
Meta accomplishes this through two invisible channels that exchange information:
(i) The Facebook or Instagram app running in the background on your phone, even when you’re not using it.
(ii) Meta’s tracking scripts (the now-pulled illegal brainchild uncovered last week), which operate inside your mobile web browser.

#TheBeanfield
In time for the 40th #Anniversary of the #Beanfield (1 June #2025), when the poo #lice #brutally attacked a #convoy of #people heading to #Stonehenge for the annual #free #festival in #1985, we are releasing hours of previously #unseen #video testimony taken in 1990/91 during the making of our #documentary ‘Operation Solstice’.
#Footage that has survived over 30 years, saved largely thanks to Dale Vince, who funded the digitisation, and who took on the role of outrider on the day. Some once familiar faces and voices here, Mo, Phil and Don, now long since passed, brought back to bear witness to the shameful barbarism of that day, ‘the worst police treatment of people’ in living memory, for which there was no public inquiry, but about which we will neither forgive nor forget.

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

This video is great for several reasons:
🔻It shows how the Iron Dome missile batteries are embedded in civilian areas / are mobile
🔻It shows a battery launching interceptors that fail to stop the inbound missiles from destroying the battery
🔻 Because the batteries are mobile, satellite targeting cannot be used, so Iran has some next generation targeting system tailored to mobile targets
🔻Isntreal intelligence must have known of this capability.

- On May 29, 2025, a new Service Control feature was added for quota policy checks.
- This feature did not have appropriate error handling, nor was it feature flag protected.
- On June 12, 2025, a policy with unintended blank fields was inserted and replicated globally within seconds.

Very predictable outcome but food distribution in Gaza was stopped completely shortly before the atk on Iran
And, while major US/UK outlets were busy cheerleading a massive escalation (an explicit violation of international law, and the UN charter)-- NATO in general saw this as an opportunity to stop caring about the genocide
How recently was it DE, FR, UK, all pretended to care just long enough for press to pen articles in a cynical ploy to distance themselves from their crimes? Weeks?
"Germany said on Saturday that the danger of further escalation in the Middle East is real and that Iran’s nuclear programme poses a threat not just to Israel"
DE leaders laying out their priorities for everyone to see
To start we are all pretending that its not a widely known fact that Israel illegally has nuclear weapons
Israel has been breaking international law, violating the UN charter, doing pre-emptive strikes, & committing a genocide-- but perceived threats to them remain the priority
