It simply happened, but from what I understand, the service has been restored. Marco Rubio stated: "Yes, I don't know what their hypothesis is, but the White House has nothing to do with this. I saw a report on this topic a few days ago. It is categorically false. No one at the White House has ordered anyone to slow down the internet or reduce the connection speed so that certain drones cannot use it. But, from what I understand, the service has been restored and is functioning. That's what I read – that's what I heard two days ago." #Starlink #Ucraina #MarcoRubio (translated)

He concluded that she had no credibility. #République #GiletsJaunes #Journalisme (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Ukraine launched a massive long-range drone attack against St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region overnight. According to his post, the impacts hit a oil terminal and the main data center of VKontakte, as well as causing fires in several districts. He added that regional authorities reported the downing of dozens of drones and that restrictions at Pulkovo Airport delayed or canceled at least 46 flights. Montes de Oca noted that the terminal had an annual capacity of about 12.5 million tons and was an important point for transporting fuels via the Baltic and supplying the Russian fleet that exported crude oil. Although, according to him, the damage only affected part of the facilities, he stated that the fire in tanks and pumping systems temporarily suspended 100% of loading operations. He estimated that repairs would reduce Russian logistical capacity to export diesel by 15% to 20% for several weeks. Regarding VKontakte, which according to Montes de Oca had over 95 million active monthly users, the author stated that the data center provided communication, video, and access to public platforms, and was also integrated into state systems for education, health, and e-government. He added that NetBlocks recorded a drop in platform traffic to 56% of its normal level, about 44% less. In his analysis, the attack added to previous ones against Yandex data centers in Sasovo, Kaluga, and Vladímir, and could affect digital and state services. Montes de Oca indicated that the Ruchyi depot could store 114,000 cubic meters of fuel and supplied heavy and rail transport of the Leningrad Military District. He also stated that the Baltic ports supported Russian exports of crude and its derivatives. According to his post, Russia aimed to export between 3 and 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of 2026, more than 10% of the global market, and damage to terminals and refineries would limit its income and export capacity. The author said that the offensive weakened the energy truce driven by Donald Trump and that Kiev had warned it would respond if Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. He added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had confirmed that Starshield was not operating in Ukraine nor had it been enabled to guide Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, so, according to Montes de Oca, it was not used in the attack. #Ucrania #SanPetersburgo #GuerraUcrania (translated)

"I don't know what Zelensky said. I'm not sure that Zelensky knows what he is talking about, but it wasn't something deliberate. We have nothing to do with that. No... The United States, no one ordered the slowdown of Starlink. It just happened, but, as far as I understand, the service has been restored. It has returned to the level it was at before." American Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to Ukraine's accusations regarding the operation of Starlink satellite internet services, stating that no one at the White House ordered anyone to slow down the internet or reduce connection speed. #MarcoRubio #Starlink #Ucraina (translated)

Nexe wrote that his reaction to the materials published on TikTok was similar, and perhaps even stronger than the reactions of others. He conveyed that after the previous scandal, the people involved in the project he referred to were supposed to know that they were not using artificial intelligence. He added that the incident on TikTok shook him. As he explained, he did not use TikTok himself, and the advertising was handled by Kamil, who ran several online stores and had experience in this field. According to Nexe, when launching the ads, TikTok defaulted to enabling the product background generation option. Kamil did not notice this, which caused the platform to generate AI materials that Nexe described as ugly and disgusting. Nexe emphasized that although he did not participate in this process, he did not want to distance himself from the mistake, and he apologized for its occurrence. He wrote that the team was equally surprised and promised to triple-check the published materials. He added that he tried to learn from every mistake and announced that he would share Kamil's statement. #AI #TikTok #reakcje (translated)

Monika Borkowska informed that Piotr's wife spoke out for the first time regarding his detention.

She accused the officers of unjustified assault and detention and appealed for their superiors to take consequences. Borkowska conveyed that Piotr's wife asked why the officers did not provide the basis for identification, the police officer did not introduce himself in the recording, and the female officer violated her husband's personal and even intimate space. She also wanted to know if the superiors would react to what she described as unprofessional conduct. The author of the post stated that she remained in contact with the woman, who asked for peace and anonymity.

Erika Hilton reported that she submitted a request to create a Parliamentary Inquiry Commission on Big Techs, with the aim of investigating, according to her, abuses by companies like Meta, responsible for Instagram, during the elections. She stated that foreign companies would be manipulating algorithms to favor political positions and harm candidates, and said there would be indications of interference by foreign billionaires in Brazilian elections. Hilton pointed out that the voting could influence the end of the 6x1 scale, the continuity of Pix, Brazilian control over rare earths, and the rights of women and girls to their own image, their own bodies, and the vote. She claimed to be gathering the 171 signatures necessary for the request for the companies to be investigated, regardless of the ballot results. The deputy also defended Brazil's sovereignty and criticized what she described as abuses by foreign companies that monopolize the internet. In the end, she called for support for Lula on the 25th and accused a system of trying to enslave the population, seize the country's wealth, and colonize it. #CPI #BigTechs #Eleições2023 (translated)
