"When dozens of #Jewish girls emerged from a storm drain in #Nyack, #NewYork, Wednesday after becoming lost on a #school trip, local officials described the episode as a fortunate ending to a potentially dangerous situation.

On #socialmedia, however, the incident quickly drew a slew of #antisemitic comments.

“They can’t help it. Roaches and rats love the sewers,” wrote one #Facebook user on a post by the #Rockland Daily.

“Those tunnels were promised to them 3,000 years ago,” another user wrote, referencing the common online antisemitic phrase ridiculing the Jewish connection to #Israel.

Many of the comments also referenced the 2024 incident at the #Chabad-#Lubavitch movement’s world headquarters in #CrownHeights, #Brooklyn, in which a group from the movement attempted to dig an unauthorized tunnel beneath the building.

“From the tunnels in Brooklyn to the tunnels in nyack! The black coats never disappoint[...]"

#doge is still doing their #digitalCoup, aaand they're sharing their #surveillance spoils with #facebook, #reddit, #pinterest, #google, and multiple ad groups. And to no one's surprise they're doing it all illegally.

Also- more on the shadow websites for federal agencies that are registered to the white house instead of their appropriate departments (theoretically keeping them sealed from the Privacy Act, #foia, etc.)

Teaser for The Social Reckoning, a film by Aaron Sorkin, follow-up to The Social Network

Although hints of what was to come were there to see, The Social Network, the 2010 dramatisation of the founding of Facebook, had the hallmarks of a feel-good story. At least from the perspective of would-be entrepreneurs, whose next-big-thing idea, had, against the odds (of course), become the next-big-thing.

This is genuinely wild.

Meta’s AI support chatbot was tricked into helping hijack Instagram accounts by processing email changes and password resets as legitimate requests. 🤯

Hello masto,
Je dois parfois me rendre sur l'infâme #facebook pour accéder à un groupe dont j'ai besoin (ça risque de bientôt déménager, ouf) mais je n'en peux plus de voir l'affreux fil de suggestions blindé de publications affreuses dont je n'ai que faire.

Merci !
