Mondoweiss Itamar Ben-Gvir has been attacked across Israeli politics for a cruel video showing him mocking flotilla activists as they were being abused by officers. His offense was not his fascist celebration, but rather showing the true face of Israel. https://mondoweiss.net/2026/05/itamar-ben-gvir-is-suddenly-the-villain-of-israeli-politics-for-one-reason-he-revealed-israels-true-face-to-the-world/

Lobby virksomhed part 4 5. Meta Keeps International and US Child Safety Lobbying Completely Separate I cross-referenced Meta's 18 EU retained lobbying firms against US lobbying registrations. Three firms confirmed operating for Meta in both jurisdictions: Firm EU Role US Connection Trilligent (APCO Worldwide subsidiary) EUR 680K for AI Act, DMA, DSA APCO offices in DC; Meta VP calls them "integrated members of our Meta team" White & Case LLP EUR 50-100K, digital markets/services Lead international outside counsel, 70+ lawyer team FTI Consulting Belgium EUR 10-25K Subsidiary of FTI Consulting Inc (NYSE: FCN, HQ Washington DC) None of these firms touch child safety or age verification for Meta. The child safety lobbying runs through entirely separate state-level firms: Headwaters in Colorado, Pelican State Partners in Louisiana. None of Meta's US federal lobbying firms (Avoq, Mindset, Blue Mountain) have EU operations. International regulatory work (AI Act, DSA, DMA) goes through global firms. Age verification lobbying goes through state-level specialists with no international footprint. Two separate networks, no overlap. Sources: EU Transparency Register via LobbyFacts.eu, OpenSecrets, Senate LDA filings, firm websites The Global Picture 30+ jurisdictions introduced age verification legislation within 18 months (October 2024 to March 2026). Meta spends EUR 10 million per year on EU lobbying. 30 lobbyists. 18+ consulting firms. 277 European Commission meetings over a decade, including meetings specifically on "Children on internet protection" and "Minor protection online." RSF (Reporters Without Borders) documented 2,977 lobbying actions by Meta and Google across 10+ countries. Same playbook everywhere: astroturfing, revolving door hiring, front groups, disinformation. In Brazil, former President Michel Temer acted as an intermediary for big tech. Meta ran paid ads falsely claiming regulation would "ban the Bible." Meta failed to shift the compliance burden outside the US. The ASAA puts verification on app stores and devices. In Brazil, the EU, UK, and Australia, the burden falls on platforms directly. The ASAA playbook worked in four US states. It worked nowhere else.

Lobby virksomhed META! 👇 part 1 TL;DR: Four new findings. (1) ICMEC, the nonprofit that authored Meta's preferred age verification model bill, is $2.28 million in debt and kept alive by board member loans totaling $1.1M, yet produced a full legislative toolkit aligned with Meta's lobbying position. Meta is a confirmed $25K+ donor. (2) ConnectSafely's $100K/year UK wire most likely goes to Childnet International, a co-member of Meta's Safety Advisory Board since 2009. The UK Charity Commission is currently investigating Childnet for censoring young ambassadors who criticized a funder. (3) Meta sent a named representative to two Brazilian congressional hearings on the Digital ECA, invited directly by the bill's rapporteur. (4) Three of Meta's EU lobbying firms also operate in the US, but Meta keeps its child safety lobbying completely compartmentalized from its international operations. The full investigation, all source documents, and the research repository are now public at Everything is at https://tboteproject.com The repository can be found at https://tboteproject.com/git/hekate/attestation-findings What I Did Follow-up to my previous posts about Meta's $26.3M federal lobbying operation, the DCA exposure, ConnectSafely's 9-year donor concealment, and the Heritage Foundation pipeline. This round focused on international connections: who funds the organizations writing the model legislation, where ConnectSafely's UK money goes, and whether Meta's US influence playbook extends to Brazil and Europe. 1. ICMEC Is Nearly Insolvent and Meta Funds It ICMEC (International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, EIN 22-3630133) authored the Digital Age Assurance Act (DAAA), the model bill that shifts age verification from social media platforms to device and OS manufacturers. Meta is a confirmed $25K+ donor. I pulled three years of ICMEC's 990 XML filings (2022-2024). Financial picture: Metric FY 2024 FY 2023 FY 2022 Revenue $3.80M $5.02M $3.51M Expenses $4.47M $5.61M $5.15M Net Assets -$2.28M -$1.64M -$1.09M Employees 13 21 21 Negative net assets every year, getting worse. Revenue down 24% year over year. Headcount dropped from 21 to 13. Their 2024 audit flagged "substantial doubts regarding the organization's ability to meet financial obligations." Board members are personally loaning money to keep it running: Lender Role Outstanding Balance Franz Humer Board Member (retired Chairman, Roche/Diageo) $807,000 Sally Paul Board Chair $210,000 Rick Li Board Member (Goldman Sachs) $100,000 Total $1,117,000 With $1.1M in board loans and negative $2.28M net assets, ICMEC still managed to produce model legislation, a constitutional analysis, a technical whitepaper, FAQs, a dedicated website (ageverificationpolicy.org), Virginia General Assembly testimony, and co-sponsorship of California AB-1043. All in 2024-2025. Their largest expense category: "Other professional fees" at $952K. That money paid for the DAAA policy work. No external grants anywhere in the filings. No Schedule I filed in any year. The only outgoing money goes to ICMEC's own Singapore subsidiary ($170-206K/year). ICMEC Australia Ltd holds $13.9M in assets. The parent holds $1.05M. ICMEC loaned $868K to the Australian subsidiary in 2023. The filings do not explain why the subsidiary has 13x the parent's assets.

The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. (Robert Frost)
