Facebook’s Oversight Board has chosen its first batch of cases to review.
All involve decisions originally made by the platform to remove user content.
They include images of female breasts in a post about breast cancer, and an image of a dead child alongside text about whether retaliation was justified against China for its treatment of Uighur Muslims.
The board said Facebook users had submitted 20,000 suggested incidents for review since October 2020.
The killing of Iran’s top nuclear scientist has exposed security gaps which suggest its security forces may have been infiltrated and that the Islamic Republic is vulnerable to further attacks.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh’s killing on Friday followed two other big security lapses — the theft of Iran’s nuclear archive and a fire at a nuclear facility this year that some Iranian officials blamed on cyber sabotage.
With Fakhrizadeh the fifth Iranian nuclear scientist killed in targeted attacks since 2010, security experts are suggesting Iran’s enemies have found its Achilles’ heel.
No worry, Xi is a Mullah backer he’ll see to it that China Joe fixes that for them.
The deputy leader of the British Labour Party, Angela Rayner, has threatened that thousands of members could be expelled from the party an effort to purge anti-Semitism from their ranks.
On Sunday, Mrs Rayner told members of the party that Labour has to “get real” about anti-Semitism after a Jewish member was forced to leave a constituency party meeting in Nottingham due to a “hostile” environment as some pushed for a restoration of the whip to former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Chicago gun violence continued to decline with the cooler weather in November, but shootings and murders are still spiking compared with last year.
Nearly 3,800 people were shot in Chicago this year through the end of November, compared with about 2,400 shooting victims in the same period last year — a 58% increase.
Meanwhile, police reported 716 murders through the end of November, a 54% increase from the 464 murders during the same time last year.
Compared month-to-month, November closed out with 267 shootings while November 2019 had 154 shootings — a 73% increase.
A Hungarian MEP who co-founded Viktor Orban’s anti-LGBT Fidesz party has resigned after he was caught breaking lockdown to attend a mostly-male orgy in Brussels.
Jozsef Szajer, a founding member of Fidesz, allegedly tried to flee the 25-strong orgy through a window as police busted in on Friday night, attempting to shin down a drainpipe but hurting himself in the process.
Caught by cops he then tried to claim diplomatic immunity before being let off with a warning. Many of the men inside were ‘stripped and naked’ as they tried to flee, according to police – while local media reported that the ‘naked’ party attendees also included EU diplomats, who have not been identified.
China’s Communist Party is committing crimes against humanity. American companies are helping it do so.
It is, as explained below, no longer possible to “compartmentalize” China, so the White House and Congress should use their powers to end all trade, investment, and other business relationships.
In what the Chinese euphemistically call the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Party is relentlessly eliminating cultural and religious identity and implementing race-based policies reminiscent of those of the Third Reich, at least before the mass exterminations.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and his campaign filed an explosive lawsuit claiming that Wisconsin officials included 221,323 illegal votes in the presidential election recount and asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to order Gov. Tony Evers (D-Wisc.) to rescind certification of the state’s election results until any illegal votes can be excluded from the count.
My guess is the news coverage about Monday’s economic statement will inform Canadians about the record deficit planned and the extra funding initiatives now on offer courtesy of the feds.
But there’s something else Canadians need to know about the plan that charts the government’s fiscal path for the coming months and even years. And that’s the troubling ideology running through the whole thing.
The left seems entirely made up of mentally unstable drama queens, still it’s fun to watch them eat their own.
The ‘moderates’ staffing the Biden administration will move quickly to cement Barack Obama’s foreign policy legacy, starting with its most obvious failures
Barack Obama will never forgive Benjamin Netanyahu for being right about the Iran nuclear deal. In his new memoir, Promised Land, Obama writes that the Israeli prime minister’s “vision of himself as the chief defender of the Jewish people against calamity allowed him to justify almost anything that would keep him in power.”
The New York Times published an op-ed Monday that suggested President Donald Trump is like Nazi dictator and mass murderer Adolf Hitler because he is challenging election results in court.
The Times won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for its reporting on “Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.” There was no evidence of collusion, though the Times‘ reporting, which was never tested in a court of law, was used to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2016 election.
Ontario reported 1,707 new COVID-19 cases and seven new deaths on Tuesday, as positivity province-wide climbed above 5 per cent and Toronto hit a new single-day record high.

According to new polling from Ipsos, over five in 10 Canadians said they would either reduce their contacts or socially distance more during the holidays, while a whole 34 per cent said they would be cancelling their holiday plans altogether.
When the history of the COVID-19 pandemic is written, it should include a chapter about how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau engineered “The Great Reset” of the role government plays in our lives, without even bringing in a budget.
How it wasn’t done in secret, but out in the open.
