cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/45993050 [https://lemmy.world/post/45993050] > New whistleblowers and insiders from social media companies speak out to reveal how algorithms designed to connect people have been helping to tear them apart. With new testimony and documents, they expose a machine thriving on outrage and division as part of a business model, with radicalisation, real-world violence and fractured societies some of the consequences of a system built to shape how users think, feel and see the world.

Eric Darnley SmallThe human cost of DOGE's government overhaul is staggering. When Elon Musk's efficiency team dismantled USAID in early 2025, staff plummeted from 10,000 to 300 overnight. Boston University estimates 700,000+ people died in the first year after funding cuts to malaria, HIV & TB programs worldwide. Whistleblower Nicholas Enrich — who witnessed it all — says DOGE operatives "didn't even know how government works." His book, Into the Wood Chipper, exposes the chaos behind the shutdown now under congressional investigation. Was this efficiency… or catastrophe? https://www.wired.com/story/usaid-whistleblower-says-it-was-even-worse-than-people-knew/

cross-posted from: https://news.abolish.capital/post/44222 [https://news.abolish.capital/post/44222] > Squid Games [https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/squidgames-720x540.jpeg] > > A former British commando and veteran of several wars has told Declassified UK that he’d never seen anything as bad as Gaza. Ex-marine David MacIntosh worked in a militarised aid distribution point for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation [https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/11/20/gaza-ghf/] (GHF). He explained how a child was gunned down by Israeli forces in September 2025. > > He told Declassified in an interview published [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Qrcgu_Kq8] on 22 April: > > > I’ve been to Afghanistan, I’ve been Libya, I’ve been everywhere. I’ve been in active war zones. I’ve never heard as much gunfire and ordinance being dropped as I’ve seen over there. It’s non-stop. > > MacIntosh worked for GHF in 2025. He explained [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Qrcgu_Kq8] how a ‘green light, red light’ system was set-up to hand out aid. The Afghanistan veteran made the comparison with the TV show ‘Squid Games’, where massed contestants/prisoners are shot if they make an error: > > > There’s no time to wait around. You have that green light and you have the red light. And that’s why people have compared it to the Squid Games, that thing. And it makes sense because literally it’s a living reality of that. > > Adding: > > > It really is sick, how it’s been done. > > The first GHF whistleblower, former US soldier Anthony Aguilar, described [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nufGJ31-Bs&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecanary.co%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecanary.co] how GHF sites were also extensions of Israeli military operations. Aguilar said Israel even collected biometric data for military use from the sites. > > Israel gunned down a child > -------------------------- > > Many Palestinians were killed and wounded around the aid points. The sites were officially dismantled in November 2025, Drop Site News reported [https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-ghf-ug-solutions-aid-massacres-mercenaries-ceasefire-trump] on 19 November: > > > For the four and half months that GHF operated in Gaza, more than 2,600 Palestinians seeking food were killed and over 19,000 wounded by Israeli forces or security contractors at or near aid distribution sites. > > UG Solutions, the private military firm responsible for recruiting mercenaries for the project, is still active [https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-ghf-ug-solutions-aid-massacres-mercenaries-ceasefire-trump]. UG even recruited [https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/11/20/gaza-ghf/] members of a far-right biker gang to crew the sites. > > MacIntosh told [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Qrcgu_Kq8] Declassified that when aid seekers running for food stepped outside a ‘safe zone’: > > > They’ll [the Israelis] fire, whether they’ll fire at them… fire over the head, fire at the feet. This is where a lot of the deaths happen. > > Gaza is an apocalypse > --------------------- > > The former Royal Marine described [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nufGJ31-Bs] the scenes in Gaza as apocalyptic: > > > It’s heavy, heavy activity, heavy bombing from the IDF. And we drive in through all this… You can see it’s like a Terminator 2: Judgment [Day] movie. It’s apocalyptic. > > Adding: > > > The whole of Gaza is flattened. A few stand-up buildings, but those stand-up buildings have still been smashed. > > Israeli forces shot dead a child in an incident MacIntosh called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nufGJ31-Bs] “straight-up murder”. The child was on a berm – a raised bank of earth often formed by bulldozers as a fortification: > > > What happened was… young lad had been on the berm probably 20 meters outside of camp…. I’ll just paint the picture… 12 years old. > > MacIntosh described [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nufGJ31-Bs] the steps in GHF’s rules of engagement. Personnel in the site started with a warning: > > > So, they throw a smoke grenade next to him. Obviously, it’s not lethal. Smoke grenade just to say, “Hey, come on. Let’s go.” > > Mackintosh said [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nufGJ31-Bs] an Israeli sniper then shot the child: > > > Then moments later they’ve shot him. 762 [7.62mm round/bullet] to his shoulder… You’re not surviving that, especially [a] 12 year old. He drops to the floor. > > The child staggered to a nearby bridge and fell again: > > > It’s insane what was done. It was [a] straight-up war crime. It’s – and you’ll see the report – it’s straight-up murder. > > MacIntosh told [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nufGJ31-Bs] Declassified he came forward because war crimes and atrocities were still happening in Gaza. You can watch the full interview here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Qrcgu_Kq8]. > > GHF has now officially ended operations in Gaza. However, UG Solutions has had talks [https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-886388] about working with US president Donald Trump’s colonialist Board of Peace. > > Featured image via Netflix > > By Joe Glenton [https://www.thecanary.co/author/joeglenton/] > > — > > From Canary [https://www.thecanary.co/feed] via This RSS Feed [https://www.thecanary.co/feed].
