New: X has now for two days blocked all searches for Taylor Swift, one of the world's biggest superstars, during a very newsy weekend for her, because it couldn't stop AI-generated sex images of her and had no other ideas.

NEW: As the war in Gaza continues, internet connectivity is getting worse and worse.

“The evidence of the crippled internet in Gaza is not hard to find. By every metric of internet connectivity, things are in bad shape,” internet monitoring expert Doug Madory told us.

NetBlocks and IODA are reporting that NetStream, a Gaza ISP, has an almost complete outage, and other ISPs aren't doing much better.
