the point is the headline is misleading and cherrypicking… the real problem here is a journalistic outlet partnering with a gambling app. full stop.

there is no need to steer the conversation toward israel. there are a million things we can talk about to criticize israel… pushing a story about CNN and a gambling app into an israel discussion is unnecessary and lacks journalistic integrity.

which is the other point of my post… why the fuck are people getting their news from therealnews.com? why not thebestnews.com? or onlyrealnews.com?

“oh but the mainstream media is bad!”, is the same energy that the MAGA people spout when they get all their news from shit-tier right-wing blogs. just because you agree with a blog post, doesn’t make it a good source of news.

Also, it would be trivial for big tech to flood every fediverse instance with deceptive content and get us all shut down

Yes… therealnews.com

Must be totally real, and not just cherry picking ONE of millions of bets possible on a prediction market

The headline could also be: “CNN partners with Kalshi, a gambling app that lets you wager on whether or not Donald J. Trump will shit himself on live TV.”

Nobody is your friend… but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox… that’s good enough for me…

Check your threat model… 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states… and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (pretty sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)

Stop trying to scare people into going back to gmail… there will always be flaws in proton/tuta/whatever mail service…

Go try running your own email if you truly need perfect privacy and anonymity

How did this issue only manifest itself after 37 years in service? Sun radiation isnt a new phenomenon.
