The UK is reportedy in favor of allowing Ukraine to use its Storm Shadow missiles for strikes deep inside Russia

Britain is however keeping its support for the move out of the public eye in order not to provoke a row with Washington according to a report published by The Telegraph.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has slammed discussions on the use of long-range missiles against Russia as “a ruse” to create the impression that the West wants to avoid excessive escalation, whereas the opposite is true.

RT reports: Ukraine already has the greenlight from Britain to use Storm Shadows to strike Crimea and other areas claimed by Kiev, but not to target internationally recognized Russian territory. Amid Kiev’s ongoing incursion into Kursk Region, Vladimir Zelensky has stepped up his calls for the country’s Western backers to lift the restrictions on the use of their weapons for strikes in Russia. This is particularly the case for the British missiles, which can avoid enemy radar and hit targets up to 305km (190 miles) away.

However, according to The Telegraph, the decision on how Ukraine can use the missiles is not just up to London, as they are produced in close cooperation with France and the US, and are generally used alongside classified American systems.

While French President Emmanuel Macron previously said that Ukraine can use the missiles to strike sites in Russia from which the latter launches its own attacks, US officials have been reluctant to grant similar authorization. A White House source told the news outlet that the US administration is concerned that the use of long-range missiles, even without Washington’s outward approval, could escalate matters and lead to US troops being drawn into the conflict.

Recycling Centre Site Visit ✨

Today I had the opportunity to visit the Hazardous Waste Recycling Centre in Gateshead (i): a tour organised by Suez, the site owner ♻️

I am pleased with how transparent Laura and Hannah, our guides, have been while explaining what happens to the local recycling and general waste. No question has been left unanswered, and topics have been discussed with the most environmentally friendly tone: everything led to the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle 🙌🏻

The overall experience exceeded my expectations as the amount of knowledge I gained was HUGE ⛰️

This is how I would summarise today’s experience in few points:

1. Disposable vapes are a PROBLEM 💨

Strangely classified by UK Legislation as “toys, leisure and sport equipment”, they have been responsible for numerous fires at the recycling centre. E-cigarettes contain lithium batteries, which can easily ignite when segregated with the other waste streams. Furthermore, recycling one 200L barrel full of disposable vapes costs more than £2000 😰

2. Machines that sort general waste out DO NOT EXIST ⚙️

Due to complex composition of general waste, there is no machine or automated process able to effectively separate non-recyclables from recyclables that ended up in the general waste. At Suez, sorting is done BY HANDS 🤲🏻

3. Energy-from-Waste (EFW) requires A LOT of ENERGY ⚡️

Suez’s EFW facility has the potential to generate enough electricity to power 30.000 homes via waste incineration. However, the majority of energy goes back into the facility to keep the process going: fire is on 24/7 🔥

4. Separate food waste segregation at home is COMING SOON 🍔

Around 6.5 MILLION tonnes of food waste come from households every year. The shocking thing is: around 70% of that food waste IS STILL EDIBLE when people dispose of it (4.5 MILLION tonnes). Suez compared it to 90 Royal Albert Halls! 😱

5. Load contamination is a serious thing ☣️

Staff works hard every day to ensure skips contain the waste they have been designed for. When hazardous materials get in the same bin with recyclables, the WHOLE load becomes hazardous. This means that all the waste contained in that bin is very likely to lose its recycling potential. As it has been said today: “It is better losing some recycling in the general waste than contaminating an entire load of recycling and losing all of it” 😞 This is such a powerful sentence.

For those interested in knowing about waste disposal and recycling, I strongly recommend this experience. Event details can be found on Eventbrite and many waste sites are available for tour booking 🤩

Ah, forgot this: IT’S FREE 🤯

I've taken up reading historic newspapers as a hobby and I thought you'd enjoy this story from the Coventry Evening Telegraph. "Heavy Traffic - There was heavy traffic on all roads leading to Silverstone from an early hour this morning, but the filter colour system introduced at the last meeting was again successful and there were few long delays. In order to regulate the traffic, police had installed in the control tower of the former RAF aerodrome seven radio stations linked with key points over a 25-mile radius." This is from the 20th of August, 1949! As I write to you today, there are roadworks on the road between Brackley and Silverstone, which just makes me feel that news is 100% cyclical and there will ALWAYS be traffic around Silverstone. <3

I actually have a theory about this which gets into the sort of nerdy shit I'd make a video about if I was a man with a decent camera and an office. but so Silverstone is in several English counties:

looking at Silverstone on a map, it's clearly in what you'd call a black hole for ley lines. for anyone who didn't grow up in the UK in the era before the internet gave us something to do with our time, ley lines are alleged mystical power lines that criss-cross the UK and do sort of coincide with some motorways probably because that's kinda how the landscape is.

anyway, the idea is you can draw lines between significant monuments or like, random hills people have decided might have some connection to woo and then that will represent ancient energies. for no doubt very serious reasons the epicentre of all these is a tiny village called Parsley Hay halfway between Sheffield and Stoke on Trent, which I am sure does fairly well out of the related tourist industry.

more significant, in terms of British road mapping, is the existence of Little Chef roadside uhhhh cafés? diners? idk what you classify them as. like the druids of old they are now gone but their energies remain.

Silverstone sits in an uneven triangulation of former Little Chef spots:

not only does Towcester's especially hallowed, double Little Chef site unbalance things nearly irrepairably, three of these Little Chef are in Northamptonshire (the double and Old Stratford to the east) while only Buckingham is in Buckinghamshire.

these are the sort of forces that should not be messed with. it is clear why there are always traffic jams around Silverstone and it's not just because everyone invented Milton Keynes (not pictured, off to the east) then forgot to connect it to anywhere else properly it's because the roadside balance has been greatly disturbed.

now that Little Chef is no more this cannot be corrected. no amount of M&S Simply Food can ever neutralise the vibes and so it is that Silverstone is doomed to eternal traffic by the arrogance of mankind's hubristic building.

Related to your Instagram story about support group for ‘high functioning’/low support needs autistics, I’m really frustrated because my local adult autism support group specifies that it’s for people without learning disabilities only and I asked why it was so exclusive and they said it was the condition for getting it funded by the local council (I’m in the uk) because they were ‘already funding too many learning disability groups’. I don’t think I can do much to combat this because it’s a decision made a lot higher up than me but it’s really frustrating because I really want to be in community with all kinds of different autistic people and I think people should be able to decide for themselves if the group is relevant to them. I also help run the disability society at my uni but obviously that selects for the sorts of disabled people who manage to go to uni. I would classify myself as having low support needs rn but it’s changed a lot since I was younger and I still struggle a lot in ways where I don’t always relate to other autistics at uni, a lot of whom are late diagnosed and struggle a lot with unmasking. I’ve never really been able to hide my autism and I was diagnosed quite young so I often feel a bit alone. I don’t know if you have any advice/comments to this, but I really wish there was more inclusive community with all kinds of different autistic people with different needs because I think we need to have that solidarity. -S

I'm so sorry to hear that is happening, that really fucking sucks. I agree that you will benefit a lot from being in community with a wide swathe of types of Autistic people, as all of us can -- and your experience points to how limiting and oversimplified "support needs" labels really are. Though the term may have a more pleasant connotation than functioning labels, it still flattens the Autistic experience to the point of being nearly useless. Many people who are nonverbal are relatively low in support needs; some people who can mask have high support needs, and many of us fluctuate depending on the day or where we are in life.

I think you may want to look outside of formal institutional channels. Nonprofits and government agencies will approach Autism inclusion in a very dehumanizing bureaucratic way. What you need I think is a community space made by us, and for us. Look up any local ASAN chapters in your area-- and since you're in the UK, look up Neurodiverse Self Advocacy UK as well. Selfadvocacygroups.co.uk is another place to turn. See if you can find local groups run by these organizations, and try hopping onto sites like Meetup and even Facebook to see if there are ongoing Autistic social groups happening as well. there is almost certainly something. Eventbrite also has a lot of virtual community events these days, oddly.

I know that it's a big ask to tell you to create your own groups, but after you've gotten the lay of the land in your area and gotten to meet a few people, consider organizing small hang outs for people in the community -- movie watching parties, outings to accessible spaces, attending a parade or festival together, something like that. We take care of one another, and community is a thing we build, one relationship at a time -- it's not a thing we can trust powerful institutions to give us or grant us.

Thanks for your message.

LORE ENTRY 2: The Mojave Logistics Archaeological Survey Team (MLAST)

Built of a group of individuals handpicked by Nathaniel Godwynn, all from scientific, fringe religious, or military background.

**NO COMMUNISTS WERE USED IN THE FORMATION OF THIS TEAM.

Members:

Dr. Rosalind Byne: (age 42) Once a well respected Corporal in the US Army Corp of Engineers before being dishonorably discharged for stealing state secrets. It is commonly believed that Nathaniel Godwynn was her lover in the time period prior to her theft. The documents she is said to have stolen were then, and remain, classified. Interventions were made on her behalf by the Mojave Logistics legal team and her record was wiped clean though she is banned from further participation in the military. Education: PHD in Archaeology from Massachussettes Institute of Technology (MIT) Bachelors in Anthropology (MIT)

Rosy Byne: (age 21) Daughter of Rosalind and youngest member of the team. Known to be brilliant and "an absolute joy to be around," it is often said the team would've fallen into their dark times sooner had she left them to their own devices. Though she had no formal education she proved in the long run to be one of the most valuable members of the team and had a knack for "feeling out an area" and locating harder to reach areas of excavation sites and cave depths. Many a cavern was mapped with her jubilant assistance.

Daniel Rosenthal: (age 44) Transferred directly over from the UKSF as part of a large real estate deal negotiated on behalf of the UK government. Some believe Nathaniel Godwynn financed the purchase specifically to acquire Rosenthal. He was known in various circles, including a late stage high level Thelema oriented crowd known to play host to both NASA Rocket Scientists and cult religious leaders alike. Very likely one of the only living people ever to accomplish a true to life feat of magic, harnessing powers mankind is not meant to know.

Tyrone Bowens: (age 25) Originally from one of the worst ghettos in America, Tyrone showed promise as both an athlete and a scholar from an extremely early age. Upon the loss of his parents at age 15 he was moved across the country to live with his aunt, Tameika Bowens, a VP of Strategic Acquisition who worked closely with Nathaniel as far back as the initial public offering of Godwynn Enterprises. Within 3 months of the move, Tyrone was working as an intern and in-office assistant to the entire Strategic Acquisition team. His role on the survey team saw him responsible for the team's relationship to the local communities surrounding potential research areas. Most that knew him before his untimely death, remember him as a gentle and funny individual aside from his known lovers, who tend to say quite the opposite.

Robert Orange: (age 56) Older brother of Agent Russel Orange, head of security for ML and GE. While both brothers exhibited qualities their own mother referred to as "textbook fuckup traits," Robert had far fewer of the redeeming characteristics present in his younger sibling. This fact conjured a hard life, full of frustration and self victimization which led to an addiction to morphine and a penchant for pharmaceutical grade methamphetamines that eventually careened out of control and siphoned off the little bit of a life he had pieced together. During this time Russel and Robert lost contact for years prior to reuniting in late 2015 after the loss of Russel's wife, Magdalene Godwynn. After a few years of working closely together at the helm of security, Russel lobbied to get his brother a place on MLAST where he would provide security services as well as, and this is generally unknown, keep Agent Orange abreast of the research conducted.

I know it's not a charity, but I was wondering what you think about Party Pieces ?

I often see anti-kate people saying that there must be some shady business with the Middletons because there's no way a company like that could make them into millionaires. I know you probably don't know their inside business, but I would like to know your opinion.

Hello :) They do have some accounts for some elements of the company but I am actually not very well versed in reading company accounts. But I'd say a few things.

They had money before Party Pieces which some people have suggested paid for the kids to go to school. It was an inheritance from Mike's side of the family. So they had time to build up their fortune and their business before Kate met William.

But I think there's a few misconceptions. Firstly, when we say someone is a millionaire we are really talking about the value of their estate. That does not translate to cash in the bank. So I truly don't know enough about the Middletons' finances to know the ins and outs but it's possible their value is in the millions without them actually having millions in their bank account. The other thing I think people do is they view the company through today's lens. They started in 1987. The internet was a niche thing that had just been createdt. So they were really the first major company to do what they did in the UK. I think nowadays you might think "how could someone be a millionaire from selling paper plates for £2?" But we're thinking that because there's 57 knock off sites selling the same paper plates and of course there's Amazon where the whole business model is to sell things at a loss to drive other companies out of business. Those things simply didn't exist so if you think about all the middle class mums (obviously dads can buy stuff for kids parties but this was the 80s lol) competing to have the best children's birthday parties, this was one of the few places they had to go outside of a supermarket (where they have a limited range which everyone will have) or a local party shop (which not every area will have). And because they had been going for so long, they had built up a market share which has of course only been helped by the Kate connection.

Now, that being said, I do know they did some things that are frowned upon now. So back in 2010 it was suggested that they were selling their customer database. They will have had contact details and information about purchasing trends for thousands of middle class parents, a lucrative group of spenders, and so other companies would pay Party Pieces a lot of money to access that data which they could then use for targeted ads etc. They no longer do that, although it's still perfectly legal as long as you tell people and they opt in. So that could be classified as ethically dicey but I also think data rights didn't really become a big topic of discussion until the early to mid 2010s and all of us still willingly give away our data to companies who sell or share that every day. So I'm not minimising that that is a bit dodgy but it's kind of just general capitalism lol.

Trigger warning: This article add more details to past articles about men trying to  make pedophilia a sexual orientation and downplay the harm it does to children.

The academic who recently resigned from a charity that promotes the medical transitioning of children had for years been writing blog entries related to pro-pedophilia activism and “minor attraction.”

Jacob Breslow, an Associate Professor at the London School of Economics, stepped down from his position as a trustee for UK-based trans activist organization Mermaids earlier this week after it was revealed that he had, on several occasions, made statements and published academic work that favorably portrayed pedophilia.

In 2011, Breslow, then a PhD student, spoke at a symposium titled “Pedophilia, Minor-Attracted Persons, and the DSM: Issues and Controversies,” hosted by pedophile advocacy organization B4U-Act. The stated purpose of the symposium was to lobby the American Psychiatric Association for changes to the diagnostic definition of pedophilia in order to “reduce stigma” against “minor-attracted people” (MAPs).

Breslow’s presentation was titled Sexual Alignment: Critiquing Sexual Orientation, The Pedophile, and the DSM V. In the lecture, Breslow promotes the concept of treating pedophilia as a sexual orientation, a goal long-advocated by B4U-Act. 

B4U-Act describes itself as an organization that works toward a “collaborative effort between minor-attracted people and mental health professionals,” and has a history of lobbying medical authorities for changes in criteria which would declassify pedophilia as a disorder. 

Founded in 2009 by convicted child rapist Michael Melsheimer, B4U-Act had apparently been approved by the founders of infamous pederast activist group, the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). After B4U-Act’s creation, Melsheimer had informed other pedophiles that his organization’s approach would be focused around garnering public support for normalizing pedophilia by falsely claiming the intention was to prevent child sexual abuse.

At their symposium, Breslow read from a paper in which he rejected the understanding of pedophilic attraction to children as being inherently harmful, and supported the concept of pedophilia being classified as a sexual or political orientation.

“Allowing for a form of non-diagnosable minor attraction is exciting, as it potentially creates a sexual or political identity by which activists, scholars, and clinicians can begin to better understand Minor Attracted Persons … Many tend to begin with the linkage of pedophilic desire to harmful and abusive relationships and acts, and end up proliferating, rather than questioning, normative gendered and sexual intelligibility,” read Breslow’s abstract.

At the organization’s 2011 symposium, Breslow compared molesting a child to masturbating on a shoe, saying, “Just as the desire to and the act of cumming on a shoe requires a rethinking of the shoe … I want to now argue that the desire to and the act of cumming on or possibly with a child requires a rethinking of both the child and of the person for whom the child is a sexual fantasy or partner.”

Following news of Breslow’s pedophilia apologism, further damning revelations have come to light, with a feminist Twitter user exposing WordPress blog entries written by Breslow from 2009 to 2017. Twitter user @Scottish_Woman first drew attention to the old blog, providing evidence that Breslow’s sordid history with pedophile sympathizing was far longer than previously thought.

Many entries by Breslow advocate for reframing pedophilia as a sexual identity comparable to homosexuality. 

Breslow’s blog also provides links to external sites that contain or discuss child sexual abuse materials, such as a Wikipedia list of erotic books or pornographic publications, as well as the personal site belonging to a man claiming to be a convicted sex offender. 

In several blog posts, Breslow describes his fascination with and appreciation for pornographic magazines centered on the sexualization of teenage boys. In particular, Breslow praises Destroyer Magazine, a publication created by Karl Andersson which features sexualized photos of models that are advertised as being as young as 15 years old.

Breslow describes Destroyer as “a magazine dedicated to the beauty of the boy” and praises Andersson’s “academic(ish) critique and aesthetic appreciation of boyhood, deviance, and the LGBT community.”

Andersson came under widespread scrutiny in August after it was revealed he had written an academic article in which he admitted to masturbating to fantasy child sexual abuse material for three months as part of his “research” as a PhD student at the University of Manchester. Following media coverage of Andersson’s paper, he was suspended by university administrators.

Andersson’s article, titled “Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on shotasubculture in Japan” was roundly condemned by academics, parents’ groups and MPs. The academic journal Qualitative Researchpulled the article last month in response to the backlash, and the paper sparked a police investigation into whether Andersson had 

used illegal pornographic materials while residing in the UK.

From 2006 to 2010, Andersson was responsible for two unsettling visual media projects which focused on the sexualization of young boys: the aforementioned Destroyer, as well as Breaking Boy News.

While Destroyer was condemned both in Sweden and abroad for its disturbing content, Andersson was sympathetically covered by Out, an international gay news outlet, in 2012.

“The most controversial expression of homosexuality is when a man is attracted to an adolescent boy,” Andersson is quoted as saying, “The [porn films] that are called ‘barely legal’ feature men dressed as boys … I find it quite uninteresting. It’s just drag. The models in Destroyer are well under 18.”

The official site for Destroyer was recommended and linked through by Breslow, in addition to a pro-pedophile forum called Milkboys, which had hosted similar pornographic content of young boys at the time and boasted over 24,000 members. The administrator of the forum was interviewed by Andersson for an issue of Destroyer.

On his blog, Breslow also featured a pro-pedophilia quote from Jim Kepner, a gay rights activist, journalist, and founder of the International Gay and Lesbian Archives. 

“The Moral Majority’s pretense of protecting children is mostly a smokescreen. They are less concerned with protecting children than with maintaining their property right in children, with preventing children’s self-determination. While not every child may seek erotic relations with older persons, still, youth liberation is the natural ally of the defense of love between men and boys,” Breslow’s post reads.

To this day, Kepner is profiled positively on the official website of the North American Man / Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which describes how, at a 1986 conference, Kepner referred to pedophiles as minorities and “victims themselves of prejudice and discrimination.”

In an early entry, Breslow compared his interest in certain types of underwear as a “feminist intervention,” and claimed that his sexual proclivity for “infantilism” and “submission” facilitates a “childish sexuality.”

“I recognize that calling upon a fetish to spark a rethinking of gender roles might seem trivial. However … As a marker of infertility, asexuality and submission, briefs as a sexual object make men’s desire/sexuality equivalent with the sexuality of a child. I hope to legitimate the re-sexualization of youth in a way that complicates current forms of gender and sexuality,” Breslow wrote in 2009.

Significantly, Breslow confessed to having sexual fantasies about children in his now-defunct WordPress blog. 

“I am constantly struggling not because of my ‘homosexuality’ or because my ‘gayness’ is so repressed, but because of my sexuality as deviant … it isn’t the gender of my sexual object choice that is the sole basis of my desire, but the age and subsequent deviance of that desire that is important,” Breslow wrote.

“I am attempting to work through the ways in which acts and identities gain meaning and become conflated. Although I obviously do not condone abuse, rape, molestation and intimate partner violence, I find the immediate connection between the sexual desire for youth and its pathologization, internalization and criminalization to be problematic,” Breslow wrote in 2011.

Over the course of the past decade, Breslow has maintained his views, as evidenced by his 2016 PhD thesis, in which he argued some kids are “queer.” 

In his paper The Theory and Practice of Childhood: Interrogating Childhood as a Technology of Power, Breslow quotes Judith Levine, an academic who authored a book arguing for the lowering of the age of consent to 12 years old, and has stated that “sex is not in in itself harmful to minors.”

In his thesis, Breslow also implies that children are not only sexual, but “perverse,” writing: “the queering that ‘queer’ does to the child, is one of resisting the child’s alleged asexuality and heterosexuality; allowing for the child’s pleasures, desires, and perversities.”

In 2021, Breslow published a book titled “Ambivalent Childhoods: Speculative Futures and the Psychic Life of the Child.” He described the book as exploring “the queer life of children’s desires.” One chapter, titled “Desiring the Child,” opens with a description of a 12-year-old child dancing and mimicking sex acts to a crowd of adults.

During an online book launch discussion, Breslow stated:“What do we do when queerness is aligned with projects that are less easy to sit with that are less sort of respectable? … Is it really that children or young people having sex is the problem? Or is it [the problem] the conditions under which that sex happens?” Breslow also condemned the “carceral state” for its treatment of sex offenders, and echoed previous work he has done rejecting the need for the sex offender registry.

News of Breslow’s position as a trustee at UK-based transgender youth charity Mermaids prompted widespread backlash this week, with many on social media calling for a public inquiry into the organization. 

Renowned author J.K. Rowling denounced “genderists” who belittled the significance of Breslow’s appointment to children’s charity Mermaids, which promotes the medical halting of puberty.

“The problem isn’t that a man who wrote sympathetically about orgasming ‘on or with’ a child was made trustee of a children’s charity, but that the TERFs might ‘twist’ his appointment. Then straight back to the self-soothing mantras, with a glow of inner virtue,” Rowling tweeted.

Breslow has published articles and presented lectures on strategies for undermining arguments made by critics of gender identity ideology. In January, he spoke for Cambridge University’s Centre for Gender Studies during an online event titled “‘Sex is Real,’ and other Gender Critical Non Sequiturs: A TERF Grammar Book.”

An organization established by Professor Sally Hines at the University of Leeds published an essay last year by Breslow which compared feminists to Nazis, and called for “a sustained campaign of resistance against them.” 

Last week, the Charity Commission, regulatory body for charities in England and Wales, announced it had opened an investigation into Mermaids in response to safeguarding concerns. A report by The Telegraph found that the organization was offering to secretly send potentially harmful breast binders to children without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

A spokesman for the commission said: “Concerns have been raised with us about Mermaids’ approach to safeguarding young people. We have opened a regulatory compliance case and have written to the trustees. We now await their reply.”

On October 6, The Times reported that the national lottery had decided to pause its £500,000 annual grant to Mermaids pending the results of the Charity Commission investigation.

Mermaids has stated they were ignorant of Breslow’s appearance at the B4U-Act conference prior to being approached by media, but it is unclear as to whether they were aware of his extensive academic history promoting the sexualization of children.

Breslow’s brother, Aaron Samuel Breslow, is an Assistant Professor with dual affiliation at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Harvard Medical School who advocates for the medical “transitioning” of children and has expressed support for his brother’s views on “minor attraction.”

WikiLeaks founder to testify at Council of Europe

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will make his first public statement since his release from prison in June, addressing the Council of Europe in Strasbourg next week.

Assange, 53, will testify to the legal and human rights committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday, Wikileaks said in a statement.

The testimony will come after the parliamentary assembly publishes an investigation report into Assange’s five-year detention in Belmarsh prison. He previously spent seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London after claiming asylum.

In a statement, Wikileaks said the following:

“The report confirms that Assange qualifies as a political prisoner and calls on the UK conduct an independent review into whether he was exposed to inhuman or degrading treatment. The report discusses how governments employ both legal and extralegal measures to suppress dissent across borders, which poses significant threats to press freedom and human rights.”

Wikileaks said Mr. Assange was “on the mend,” having returned to his native Australia following his release. Meanwhile, his wife Stella said he needed time to “regain his freedom” and recover before speaking publicly at a “convenient time.”

A statement published on X’s website said he would attend the hearing in France “due to the exceptional nature of the invitation and to accept the support received from PACE and its delegates.”

Assange’s release in June followed an appearance before a judge in the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean, where he pleaded guilty to a single charge after the US dropped 17 other espionage charges against him.

Origins of Wikileaks

Julian Assange had been programming since the age of 16 and soon took up hacking under the nickname Mendax. He later formed the hacking group “International Subversives” with friends.

Assange was suspected of crimes such as infiltrating the databases of the Department of Defence and other US agencies. In 1991, an investigation was launched against the hacker on suspicion of breaking into the server of the Canadian telecommunications company Nortel Networks. The investigation lasted several years. In 1996, Julian Assange pleaded guilty to most of the 31 charges, but was sentenced only to a fine of about $1,300.

He later worked as a computer security consultant and changed several professions in the information technology field. In 1998, Assange co-founded Earthmen Technology, an Australian company developing network intrusion detection technologies.

In 2006, he and like-minded individuals created the WikiLeaks website, which made publicly available classified information obtained from anonymous sources. The first document was published in December 2006.

Mr. Assange gained international fame after a video of the shooting of a group of civilians in Baghdad by two US Apache helicopters in 2007 was posted on the WikiLeaks website in 2010. Two Reuters reporters were among the dead. The site later published thousands of files with classified information related to the US military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq and correspondence of US diplomats. The documents were distributed by the world’s leading media outlets.

Crackdown on intimate image abuse as UK government strengthens online safety laws

New changes to the law in the UK will force tech firms to clamp down on the sharing of non-consensual intimate images on their platforms as part of a drive to tackle online sexual offending. The offence of sharing intimate images without consent will be classified as the most serious type of online offences under the Online Safety Act, meaning platforms will now have to take steps to proactively remove this material, as well as prevent it from appearing in the first place. If they fail to do so under this new law they could face fines.   The strengthening of the law forms part of the government’s commitment to ensure new and existing technologies are safely developed and help keep people safer online, particularly women and girls with more than one in three women in the UK having experienced abuse online. The changes will help tackle sexual offending and the normalisation of misogynistic material online as part of the government’s mission to halve violence against women and girls over the next decade. The changes will help tackle sexual offending and the normalisation of misogynistic material online as part of the government’s mission to halve violence against women and girls over the next decade. Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said: The rise in intimate image abuse online is utterly intolerable. As well as being devastating for victims these crimes have also contributed to the creation of a misogynistic culture on social media that can spread into potentially dangerous relationships offline. We must tackle these crimes from every angle, including their origins online, ensuring tech companies step up and play their part. That is why we will classify these vile and cowardly offences as the most severe types of crime under the Online Safety Act. Social media firms will face extra legal obligations – backed up by big fines – to uproot this content from their sites, helping to stop their normalisation and preventing generations becoming desensitised to their damaging effects. Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips said: Intimate image abuse is an appalling, invasive crime and technology companies must do much more to tackle it. We will use every tool available to achieve our unprecedented mission of halving violence against women and girls within a decade and this is an important step forward. The scale of violence against women and girls in all its forms is a national emergency, whether in person or online. We must overhaul every aspect of society’s response to stop this abuse from happening in the first place. Platforms must take responsibility for the content they host and we must ensure victims receive the support they deserve. Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones said: Intimate image abuse is a degrading and deeply misogynistic crime and we must pull all levers available to us to stamp it out. Today’s announcement builds on the progress which has already been made, making it a specific offence to share intimate images online without consent. It also sends a clear message to those companies who turn a blind eye to such heinous content on their platforms – remove it without delay or face the full force of the law. The Online Safety Act will require social media firms and search services to protect their users from illegal material on their sites, with protections due to come into force from Spring next year. The most serious forms of illegal content are classed as ‘priority offences’ meaning regulated online platforms will have additional duties to proactively remove and stop from appearing on their sites. Today’s move will mean intimate image offences are treated as priority offences under the Act, putting them on the same footing as public order offences and the sale of weapons and drugs online. If firms fail to comply with their duties the regulator Ofcom will have robust enforcement powers, including imposing fines that could reach up to 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue. Georgia Harrison, journalist and advocate for online safety and the prevention of violence against women and girls, said: I am proud to be part of the announcement that intimate image abuse will now be recognised as a priority offence. As a victim of voyeurism and image-based sexual abuse, what shocked me the most is that certain platforms were not only spreading and advertising this harmful content but also legally monetising it. This new legislation could have shielded me from such exploitation and, more importantly, validated that my voice matters. I earnestly hope tech companies will take this seriously and implement meaningful changes to their algorithms and corporate policies to prevent this type of abuse. It is inspiring to see the government taking concrete steps to address the rise in violence against women and girls. Change is imperative, and this is a promising start and I thank them for supporting this crucial cause. Read the full article
