‼️🇪🇺 The EU's new Age Verification app was hacked with little to no effort. When you set it up, the app asks you to create a PIN. But that PIN isn't actually tied to the identity data it's supposed to protect. An attacker can delete a couple of entries from a file on the phone, restart the app, pick a new PIN, and the app happily hands over the original user's verified identity credentials as if nothing happened. It gets worse. The app's "too many attempts" lockout is just a counter in a text file. Reset it to 0 and keep guessing. The biometric check (face/fingerprint) is a simple on/off switch in the same file. Flip it to off and the app skips it entirely.

🎉🌼🌸April Fools! 🌸🌼🎉 Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them. In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex. For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors. It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal. I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment. If you agree with the views set out in this tweet, please retweet it. #ArrestMe #AprilFools #HateCrimeActScotland 11/X

🧵Probably the most sophisticated Al Jazeera "journalist" psy-op yet: You may have seen the headlines today about Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul, who was apprehended by the IDF in Shifa Hospital while it was battling terrorists. Given the multiple instances since October 7th of Al Jazeera journalists moonlighting as Hamas operatives (or vice versa), I figured I’d take a look into al-Ghoul as well. What I found was a highly sophisticated, concerted effort to – for lack of a better word – manufacture a "legitimate journalist" out of whole cloth.

The issue of the Palestinian Authority's (PA) "Martyrs Fund," which provides financial support to families of individuals who have been killed or imprisoned after being involved in attacks against Israelis, has been a controversial topic for many years. Critics argue that the fund incentivizes terrorism, while supporters of the fund claim that it is a necessary social safety net for families who have lost their primary breadwinner. Several attempts have been made to halt the flow of European Union (EU) funds to the PA as long as the Martyrs Fund exists. One such attempt was made by a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) who sought to stop EU funding to the PA until the fund was abolished. However, this proposal was voted down by the left, indicating a division in opinions on the matter. The EU has maintained that its funding to the PA is strictly monitored and used for essential services, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, and that it does not directly support the Martyrs Fund. However, critics argue that the EU's funding indirectly supports the fund by freeing up other PA resources to be allocated to it. The issue of the Martyrs Fund remains a point of contention in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and it highlights the complexity of the situation and the need for a comprehensive and sustainable resolution that addresses the concerns of all parties involved.
