The disruption on May 15 was triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's February sanctions against the ICC. It interrupted vital communications at the court, with one senior civil servant in The Hague calling it "a red flag at all levels of government," as reported by Dutch news outlet De Volkskrant.

In response, the Netherlands, home to the ICC, has launched a comprehensive review of its digital infrastructure. The Dutch Parliament has called for risk assessments and contingency plans to reduce reliance on non-European cloud providers.

Member of the Dutch parliament Barbara Kathmann voiced the growing anxiety: "Is it possible that Dutch citizens will also be denied access to their Microsoft accounts and bank accounts as a result of sanctions imposed by the Trump administration?"

The ’Z’ symbol is commonly associated in Russia with the ongoing military action in Ukraine as some of the troops participating in the operation had been seen marking their heavy equipment and vehicles with it. It is also considered to be a sign of support for Moscow’s operation and the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.

People who support Russia use the letter Z as a logo/symbol. Ukraine flag NATO twitter posters also refers to Russian people with the letter Z. The Z symbol does not come from "ruzzia" as OP said. "ruzzia" was made up by libs after they saw the Russian military photos.

The YourAnonCentral twitter account is a huge lib and honestly this post is mild in comparison to their other posts, in terms liberalism. Try to make sense of their post below.

This phenomenon is known as the "State Monopoly on Violence". The government's unlimited use of violence is considered by the public to be legitimate and any resistance against the state's violence is considered to be illegitimate.

 

Greenblatt: "I'm thinking about the New York Times doing a gauzy profile a few weeks ago of this gamer, Hasan Piker, who regularly employs awful genocidal rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish State. Extremists should not be empowered. People who spout prejudice should not be platformed. This is a moment when we need to look ourselves in the mirror and say 'We've got to stop this because the consequences are deadly'. "

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of US copyright law is that it's a violation of copyright law to share (upload) copyrighted material that you don't own, not a violation to receive (download) copyrighted material. The technicality that people have been sued for using peer-to-peer software where the user both uploads and downloads the copyrighted files.

Also copyright infringement in most circumstance is a civil infringement, not a criminal infringement. This means that you are only prosecuted by the copyright holder, the rights holder could try to sue you in court. The US government won't prosecute you for copyright infringement unless you are making money from it or are operating a large scale distribution operation. However, it is very difficult for a rights holder to track you down and it's costly for them to prove it in court, so they don't bother.

Use a VPN when you use peer to peer software to share files.

Thank you for contributing your analysis.

I don't like to post in the megathread. I'm not going to post in the megathread. In my opinion, posting every news article into one thread goes completely against the design of lemmy and link-aggregators in general. It's difficulty to read and navigate the megathread. It's impossible to view the megathread alongside other instances. On a link aggregator website, links should be posts and comments should be user discussion.

I post things that I think are interesting. I will admit that I did not write a full analysis of the meeting. I noticed that nobody had created a post about the meeting. I chose to center my post around Trump forcing the South African president to watch a twitter propaganda video because it was the most outlandish part of the meeting and I think unfortunately most people don't read a full analysis of a press meeting. The themes of "white genocide" and "kill the boer" also relate to the news stories from the past week where Elon's AI started spamming those same terms.

The post links to an article by The Guardian. The Guardian has a longer analysis of the meeting. The Guardian article mentions the South African Billionaire and the golfers. I also included a link to the full video for people who are interested.

I wish you would make posts of important things as posts instead of dumping comments into 1 thread. I can understand putting lesser known stories into a megathread. In my opinion, confining the top news stories of the day inside of the megathread makes Hexbear into a worse website.

Very good point. It would seem as though Trump is spreading the "white genocide" conspiracy theory to distract from the real genocide that Israel is doing in Gaza.

In the video that Trump shows to Ramaphosa, it display footage of Witkruis Monument. Trump proclaims that this is a burial site of over 1000 murdered white farmers. This is not a burial site. The Witkruis Monument is a privately-owned memorial which displays painted white crosses to symbolically show farm murders. The Witkruis Monument refuses to commemorate murders of non-white farmers and has been photographed flying the old South African flag in support of apartheid.

The comments probably varies by the youtube channel. The same video is being uploaded on all the right wing channels, fox news, oan, newsmax. Those channels have taken clips from the meeting and are framing it as the South Africa President denying white genocide. It's all over right wing twitter.

 

Trump said: “We have thousands of stories talking about it,” then ordered his staff: “Turn the lights down and just put this on.”

Sitting next to Trump before the fireplace, Ramaphosa forced a smile and turned to look at a big TV screen as Trump’s South Africa-born billionaire ally Elon Musk, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth and diplomats and journalists from both countries looked on.

The video included footage of former South African president Jacob Zuma and firebrand opposition politician Julius Malema singing an apartheid-era struggle song called “Kill the Boer”, which means farmer or Afrikaner, as supporters danced.

Trump forced him to listen to the Kill the Boer song

WKUK made a sketch about a sketch about the Pope dying in 2010 and then the Pope dies in 2025. That's why the CIA killed Trevor Moore. He knew too much. illuminati

Elon is replying to a twitch drama account. There's also a video attached to the tweet that doesn't load with xcancel. The video shows Asmongold ranting about Hasan bullying people for having right wing beliefs.

Maggie Hassan: What is habeas corpus?

Kristi Noem: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

Maggie Hassan: That's incorrect

*talking over each other*

Kristi Noem: President Lincoln used it

Maggie Hassan: Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires that the government provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason

"We're going to take control of all the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu vowed Monday in a video released by his office announcing that Israel would begin delivering “minimal humanitarian aid: food and medicine only.”

"Our best friends in the world—senators I know as strong supporters of Israel—have warned that they cannot support us if images of mass starvation emerge," he said. “They come to me and say, ‘We’ll give you all the help you need to win the war… but we can’t be receiving pictures of famine,’” Netanyahu added. To continue the war of annihilation, he asserted, “We need to do it in a way that they won't stop us.”
