We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇬🇧📱 The UK's Online Safety Act meant to hide pornography, suicide forums and other "harmful" content from children and teenagers broke X/Twitter.
Users in the EU report seeing various posts on X/Twitter hidden with the message: "Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age".
A law meant to apply only in the UK has effectively been extended to cover the European Union as well even though Brexit ended in 2020.
To add insult to injury, X/Twitter users who want to verify their age must first pay for Premium to unlock the ID verification tool, meaning that, not only do they need to give their names and addresses to big tech but also, their credit card information.
Just as the Online Safety Act was enforced, the European Union is pressing social media companies to enforce similar policies through the Digital Services Act, as soon as possible, meaning 2026-2027 at the latest.
In May 2025 the U.S. Congress reintroduced The Kids Online Safety Act with bipartisan support and from big tech. This is especially ironic coming from the same Congress which voted against the release of the Epstein files where teenage girls were prostituted to wealthy men as blackmail material.
Since this introduction of the Only Safety Act, VPNs have gotten extremely popular in the UK.
Outside of X/Twitter, British users report that sexual assault/suicide support forums on Reddit and other sites have been blocked in the UK as they are considered +18
Online censorship has never been about protecting people from harmful content, it always was about power and control of what people read.
If governments, British, EU or American, actually cared about the safety of younger generations they would simply ban the creation and distribution of pornography and digital prostitution websites like OnlyFans.

🌀 🇺🇸 🛢 Hurricane Shuts 63% Of US Gulf Oil Output, Threatens Refineries; Jefferies Warns Of "Fuel Supply Event"
Bloomberg cites data from the Marine Minerals Administration showing US Gulf offshore oil producers have halted about 1.28 million barrels per day, equivalent to shutting in 63% of regional output.
Hurricane Isaias forced offshore oil and natural gas producers in the Gulf of America to halt a sizable amount of production as the Atlantic's first hurricane of the season churned toward the coast, with potential landfall impacts across portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.
Producers with offshore rigs have already shuttered 25% of crude output and 16% of NatGas production and evacuated workers from eight platforms and two rigs.
The disruption to offshore oil and NatGas rigs comes as a global refining crisis deepens, and there is little room for error in the US, as refineries operate near full capacity.

📝🇮🇱🗳 CIA Report Warns Israel Could Head Toward Civil War, Total Collapse
Israel is at risk of civil war or state collapse, a classified CIA assessment warns, as years of genocide in Gaza and war in Lebanon and Iran deepen political, economic, and social fractures within the country.
The August report, titled “Fracture From Within,” was compiled by experts in the CIA’s Red Cell, according to two U.S. sources who described the contents of the report to Drop Site News. The Red Cell, which is the unit responsible for providing “alternative analysis” within the agency, produced the assessment through a combination of open source information and U.S. intelligence. The assessment appears to refer only to Israel’s Jewish citizens and does not consider its Palestinian citizens, who make up approximately 20% of Israel’s population and who live under various forms of discrimination that Amnesty International and other human rights groups have labelled as part of a broader system of...
American wages are not keeping up with inflation.
US average hourly earnings adjusted for inflation fell -0.3% YoY in September, marking the 5th consecutive decline in real wages.
This follows a -0.2% YoY decrease in August, -0.3% in July, and -0.8% in June, the largest decline since May 2023.
This marks a sharp deterioration from +1.3% YoY growth in real wages recorded in February.
This all comes as US CPI inflation has remained above +3.0% for 6 consecutive months, the longest such streak since mid-2024.
Meanwhile, in nominal terms, average hourly earnings rose +3.0% YoY in September, their slowest growth since May 2021.
Nominal wage growth has been in a downtrend since March 2025, when earnings grew +4.2% YoY.
Inflation is eroding the spending power of Americans.
