After receiving the text for the ad quoted above, a representative from the advertising team suggested AFSC use the word “war” instead of “genocide” – a word with an entirely different meaning both colloquially and under international law. When AFSC rejected this approach, the New York Times Ad Acceptability Team sent an email that read in part: “Various international bodies, human rights organizations, and governments have differing views on the situation. In line with our commitment to factual accuracy and adherence to legal standards, we must ensure that all advertising content complies with these widely applied definitions.”

The Israeli army has issued fresh restrictions against media coverage of active-duty soldiers due to legal risks they face over war crimes in Gaza while traveling abroad, coming after a swarm of criminal complaints filed by pro-Palestine groups in courts worldwide.

According to recent reports in Hebrew media, at least 50 criminal complaints in courts around the world have targeted Israeli soldiers for their role in Tel Aviv's ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.

Over the weekend, a Brazilian federal court ordered the police to open an immediate investigation into an Israeli soldier accused of committing war crimes in Gaza. The soldier was visiting Brazil for a vacation.

Summary

The U.S. Department of Education fined Baker College $2.5 million for "substantial misrepresentation" of career outcomes, following a joint investigation by ProPublica and the Detroit Free Press.

The college inflated job placement rates and earnings, misleading students into heavy debts.

Critics, including former students, called the penalty insufficient, as no restitution was provided.

Enrollment at Baker has drastically declined, and over 500 borrower defense complaints were filed against it since 2021.

Baker denied wrongdoing but agreed to federal oversight of its marketing for three years.

So I've been getting more into the Fediverse, as I already had a Mastodon account for a bit. But I've joined Lemmy (love it btw, used to login to Reddit before API death ⚰️🕊️) and am thinking of joining Misskey since there's such a huge Japanese speaking community there.

But is it a good idea, and has anyone here joined? I can read decently, I'm playing Ace Attorney 5 in Japanese (finished the 1st case), I'm doing a Wanikani beginner bookclub that seems right around my level, and I'm almost done with Genki 2 (Quartet books already ordered). So I feel like this is prime time for doing more immersing and interacting with Japanese content.

Which server did you join, main, or a more niche one? Did you focus purely on the theme/content of the server?

I like games, anime, and fanart, and I'm okay with some NSFW, but I'm a little afraid of the misskey servers cause the big art ones are full of hentai/NSFW (Pawoo...). I won't go on a crusade if I see some loli art, but I don't want it shoved in my face every 3 posts.

I'm currently thinking of joining the Splatoon themed server, いかすきー.

Fresh from pouring his money and energies into helping Donald Trump win reelection, Elon Musk has trained his sights on Europe, setting off alarm bells among politicians across the continent.

The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive has endorsed the far-right Alternative for Germany, demanded the release of jailed U.K. anti-Islam extremist Tommy Robinson and called British Prime Minister Keir Starmer an evil tyrant who should be in prison.

What a dickhead.

House Bill 1136, authored by Jake Teshka, argues that school districts with declining enrollments should not receive tax benefits while families send their children to other districts.

It would force public schools to become charter schools if more than 50% of students living in the district attend other schools.

Note that Indiana also has a school vouchers program to disincentiveize parents from sending their kids to a public school, making this an intentional feedback loop.

Rumbling away throughout 2024 was EU threats to take action against Twitter/X for abandoning fact-checking. The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) is clear on its requirements - so that conflict will escalate. If X won't change, presumably ultimately it will be banned from the EU.

Meta have decided they'd rather keep EU market access. Today they announced the removal of fact-checking, but only for Americans. Europeans can still benefit from the higher standards the Digital Services Act guarantees.

The next 10 years will see the power of mis/disinformation accelerate with AI. Meta itself seems to be embracing this trend by purposefully integrating fake AI profiles into its networks. From now on it looks like the main battle-ground to deal with this is going to be the EU.

If you like, I would really appreciate if you can wishlist it on steam :)
