#France - Guilty verdicts in France's mass rape trial 'send powerful message' • FRANCE 24 English
19 December 2024
A French court on Thursday found 51 men found guilty of participating in the mass rape of Gisèle Pelicot during decades of abuse orchestrated by her ex-husband.
Many of the men had denied the charges against them saying that they thought Gisèle Pelicot had consented to the encounters, despite being drugged unconscious.
The guilty verdicts "send a powerful message to say none of those excuses hold water for a second", said journalist Megan Clement, editor of the feminist Impact newsletter.
#gaza #lebanon #israel - How Meta restricted news in Palestinian territories | BBC News
19 December 2024
Palestinian news outlets have seen a steep drop in audience engagement on their Facebook pages since October 2023. BBC News Arabic and BBC World Service analysis of more than 100,000 Facebook posts shows that news organisations based in Palestinian territories have seen a 77% drop in engagement since the start of the war in Gaza. The first comprehensive data analysis by territory since the start of the war on Gaza. Analysis of similar pages from Israel and neighbouring Arabic speaking countries shows a rise in engagement – the term used for likes, reactions, comments and shares. It comes after a year of Palestinians complaining that they are being so called ‘Shadow banned’. On Facebook’s sister platform, Instagram, exclusive access to leaked documents exposes how a change was made to Instagram's algorithm at the start of the war in Gaza, targeting Palestinian users only. Meta confirmed changes to Instagram’s algorithm were made, and says “temporary product and policy measures” were adopted on Facebook in response to the conflict. But denies deliberately silencing Palestinian voices and stands by its decision to alter how many people see content from Facebook Pages on safety grounds. A BBC News Arabic and Specialist Hub collaboration. Reporter: Joe Tidy Lead Journalist: Ahmed Nour, additional journalism by Yara Farag Producer: Natalie Merzougui, additional producing by Rehab Ismail Assistant Editor: Sarah Saey
One of the most immediate and noticeable effects of shadowban on any social media platform, like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook etc., is a sudden and unexplained drop in engagement. This includes fewer likes, comments, shares, and overall interactions on your posts.Sep 17, 2024

#F1 - Valtteri Bottas heads home: Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team
| Press Information 19 December 2024 |
F1: Driver Announcement
VB Returns
The question is answered
10 Grands Prix victories. 20 pole positions. 67 podiums. A key role in five consecutive Constructors' World Championships. A storied career. An icon of the F1 paddock.
But what's next? An age-old question. One asked by humanity for millennia. Today, the answer.
Valtteri Bottas heads home, back to the three-pointed star as Reserve Driver for 2025.
Valtteri said: "I'm happy to finally answer the question I've posed over the past month. Returning home to the Mercedes family as Third Driver for 2025 is what's next and I couldn't be more pleased. I want to thank Toto, the team at Brackley, and everyone at the three-pointed star for welcoming me back with open arms.
"Despite the challenges of the past few years, I know that I've still got so much more to contribute to F1. Since I was a five-year-old kid growing up in Nastola, Finland, my focus has been on achieving success in the top tier of motorsport. I've been fortunate to have enjoyed many incredible moments in my 12 years of racing in F1 so far. As I return to the place where so many of those moments were achieved, I'm looking forward to using all the knowledge I've gained to help the team to perform and progress towards our goal of fighting for world championships."
Toto commented: "Welcome home, Valtteri! It's great to have you back. His impact and contribution in the five years he was with us previously as our race driver was immense. Along with scoring multiple Grands Prix wins, he played a vital role in five of our championship victories. His technical feedback and input were important in helping us to those successes and pushing the team forward. Not only that, but he was also a fantastic colleague and team member. His dry sense of humour and personable nature made him a firm favourite with everyone at Brackley and Brixworth. In his role as Reserve Driver, all those qualities will be incredibly important in helping us compete for world championships and supporting both George and Kimi on track."
