Here in the U.S., Donald Trump made his return to X, formerly known as Twitter, Thursday with a fundraising post featuring his mugshot. Trump had been banned from Twitter following the January 6 insurrection, but that ban was lifted after Elon Musk purchased the company.
Earlier this month, rights groups and users of X sounded the alarm after reports that paying subscribers to the platform will have to send their ID and a selfie for verification to an Israeli software company. The firm, AU10TIX, was founded by former Israeli intelligence officers and has been implicated in Israel’s surveillance of Palestinians.
