Beating women for sport and profit, Google busted for bias, policing in the UK: Links 1 for Aug. 6, 2024

Based on the provided search results, Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting are both competing in the women’s boxing events at the 2024 Paris Olympics, despite controversy surrounding their gender eligibility. However, there is no indication that they will face each other in the Olympics.

According to the search results, Imane Khelif is competing in the 66kg category, while Lin Yu-ting is competing in the 57kg category. They are in different weight classes and will not be matched against each other in the tournament.

Therefore, the answer is no, Imane Khelif will not fight Lin Yu-ting in the Olympics.

2. Event involving Muslims, and the representation of the event in the public eye

3. In case you thought you were imagining it, Yes, Google was screwing with search results to dimonish Donald Trump in the wake of the Assassination attempt. And they admit it. Frankly even saying it was the algorhythm, which is a set of parameters created by Google, has to be an admission that it was deliberate, does it not?

Google Says Trump Shooting Search Result Issues Due to Bugs, Algorithm

Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. has attributed failures in its search engine results about former President Donald Trump and the recent attempt on his life to unspecified “bugs” and the search engine’s algorithm, according to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

Google users searching for information about the former president last week reported their queries returned news stories about Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump’s name was also noticeably absent from Google’s list of suggested queries when users searched for it or about the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump.

Jordan, as head of the House Judiciary Committee and its Weaponization of the Federal Government panel, is investigating whether those anomalies were in error or part of a deliberate attempt to influence the 2024 presidential election.

An open letter to advertisers

Every day, hundreds of millions of people come to X to be part of the only global, real-time conversation. They come to share their thoughts and hear others. To share their content and see more. To debate and be debated. To entertain and be entertained. To inspire and be inspired. There is no substitute for X.

The power of this community to bring global conversations to life was the reason I was so excited to join X as CEO in June 2023.

After a career in media and advertising, I thought I had seen everything. Then I read the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee’s report entitled “GARM’s (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) Harm” last month. The report disclosed that their investigation had found evidence of an illegal boycott against many companies, including X.

As their report found: “Evidence obtained by the Committee shows that GARM and its members directly organized boycotts and used other indirect tactics to target disfavored platforms, content creators, and news organizations in an effort to demonetize and, in effect, limit certain choices for consumers.”
The consequence – perhaps the intent – of this boycott was to seek to deprive X’s users, be they sports fans, gamers, journalists, activists, parents or political and corporate leaders, of the Global Town Square.

To put it simply, people are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is undermined and some viewpoints are not funded over others as part of an illegal boycott.

This behavior is a stain on a great industry, and cannot be allowed to continue.

That is why, today, X has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), and GARM members CVS Health, Mars, Orsted and Unilever. This is not a decision we took lightly, but it is a direct consequence of their actions.

The illegal behavior of these organizations and their executives cost X billions of dollars.

Since arriving at X, I made it my mission to continue to build a platform where people, brands and advertisers can thrive in our unique, dynamic and safe environment.
And because of this commitment to our users, even despite the boycott, usage has reached all time highs. Using a Twitter legacy metric, user active minutes, in August 2022, people spent 7.2 billion active minutes on the platform. Today, that number is more than 9 billion, a 25% increase.

The same is true for video – even compared to last year, daily video views are up 45% to 8.2 billion. X is innovating and growing.

We have met and surpassed the requests made by advertisers and groups such as GARM for new tools, both to improve advertiser controls and the effectiveness of our products to drive increased value for our customers.

We have proven our platform provides advertisers a way to showcase their brands and reach their target audiences safely, efficiently and effectively. That’s why I’ve worked in good faith with marketers across the globe to showcase our innovations and allay any concerns with brands whom I’ve partnered with for decades. The unfortunate reality is that despite all our efforts, hundreds of meetings and research to the contrary, many companies chose to dismiss the facts.

To those who broke the law, we say enough is enough. We are compelled to seek justice for the harm that has been done by these and potentially additional defendants, depending what the legal process reveals.

It’s also clear that there are likely others who suffered at the hands of this activity. This case is about more than damages – we have to fix a broken ecosystem that allows this illegal activity to occur.

We will continue to innovate and ensure X has a vibrant future while the courts will hold accountable those who engaged in illegal behavior.

To all of you who have been part of the transformative journey we are on, thank you. Rest assured, we will not stop defending our global town square.

The difficult part of this might be that being sued means nothing to groups who likely get funding from the US and other governments. The idea was the intention. The damage. Suing your child’s murderer does not bring them back, And if the person who pays the fine had already built it into the cost of the operation, it isn’t a loss for them, Twigging back to the reveal about the BILLIONS of dollars going to left wing activist groups funded by US state “Environmental programs”. And we know if the US does it, Canada, Germany, France and others are running the same scams.

4. In Islam, Mohammad made “Making Mischief upon the land” a capital offence. In that case, Mischief meant in some way diminishing the authority of Islam. The left is, as usual, identical. Mischief now means opposing state narratives in Canada and elsewhere.

Listen to @DonaldBestCA as he explains how the weaponization of the criminal code and mischief is being used to control a certain segment of the Canadian population.

It is disproportionate and disgusting.

5. At last, something approximating an honest news report out of the UK. What they are saying actually matches what we see on camera.

The thing to get here, is that the ‘Palestinian’ movement is just this US election cycle’s BLM. ANTIFA has moved on from the afro-American beard to the Palestinian one but the mission is the same. Destroy the West.

6. Sudden car Jihad in Cologne.

A taxi driver went on a rampage through Cologne’s old town, running over two groups of women before a hero managed to apprehend him. 

The Jordanian, 44, from Velbert, reportedly raced his car down a street in North Rhine-Westphalia shortly after 10pm where he hit two women – aged 22 and 23 – head on.

He then sped on in his Volkswagen Passat towards the Rhine River where he hit two more women as a fifth woman managed to save herself by jumping to the side, BILD report. 

German reports suggested the act was ‘deliberate’, and a 27-year-old woman has been left seriously injured.

A waiter, 34, from the brewery in front of where the crime took place – near to Alter Markt – was described as a ‘hero’ after he managed to detain the driver until the police arrived. […]

It is said that a similar incident occurred in Essen around an hour earlier, where a pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries from a crash.
