☆ Big Tech’s grip on social media is a growing problem

That concentration of digital ownership can create real-world harm, as a recent censorship dispute with Meta lays bare. We don’t know,” Kabas wrote in her recounting of the situation. Meta controls a whole bunch of the social media ecosystem, and that means there aren’t a lot of competitors to keep it honest. Meanwhile, all of media relies on it because content creators have to get in front of readers if they want to survive. We don’t know what happened within Meta to trigger an erroneous block of legitimate news sources last week.

☆ Meta is accused of censoring a non-profit newspaper and an independent journalist who criticized the company
  + stars: | 2024-04-05 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
The controversy began Thursday morning when users noticed that all links to the non-profit newspaper the Kansas Reflector had been flagged as a cybersecurity threat and their posts were removed. About seven hours later, the paper said, most of its links had been restored, save for one — a column that had criticized Facebook and accused it of suppressing posts related to climate change. That seemed suspicious to Marisa Kabas, an independent journalist in New York, who asked the Reflector for permission to publish the text of the column on her own website, the Handbasket. And for about two hours, she said, all of the links to her site were blocked. In a Threads post on Friday, Stone said the blocked links were “due to a security error” that also mistakenly blocked links to The Handbasket and the nonprofit news aggregator site News From The States.

George Santos initially denied dressing in drag before admitting that he did it for fun at a festival. Videos and photos, spanning 2005 to 2008, appear to show Santos as his drag persona Kitara Ravache. Santos initially denied the allegation of being a drag queen, writing on Twitter: "The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or 'performed' as a drag Queen is categorically false." Rochard told the news agency that in 2005 Santos was a "poor" drag queen who usually dressed in a simple black dress. Videos and photos, spanning from 2005 to 2008, indicate that Santos may have been dressing in drag at events for several years, despite his denial that he was ever a drag queen.
☆ Drag artist says George Santos was a left-wing Lula supporter in Brazil before going to the US and turning into 'this crazy thing'

A drag artist who knew him in the mid-2000s told Insider Santos supported Brazil's left-wing president then. Rochard said Santos supported Lula and then "goes to the US and turns into this crazy thing there. They were all Lulistas and Anthony was too because he hung out with us," Rochard told Insider, using the name Rochard says Santos used in Brazil, "Anthony." Brazilian drag artist Eula Rochard holds a newspaper from 2008 that she says shows GOP Rep. George Santos in drag attire. Rochard met Santos when he was about 17 years old and said she used to catch Santos in "little white lies."

Rep. George Santos competed as a drag performer in 2008, former acquaintances said. Santos, who is gay, has backed anti- LGBTQ legislation and conspiracy theories. Two acquaintances of Santos' from the Niteroi suburb of Rio de Janeiro told Reuters that Santos used to compete in drag beauty pageants there. According to MSNBC columnist Marisa Kabas, who spoke to Rochard, Santos went by the drag name Kitara. Kabas shared a newspaper picture that allegedly showed Rochard and Santos in drag together.
☆ Why George Santos is denying that he performed as a drag queen even as he leaves a litany of other questions unanswered

Santos faces more pressing questions, but performing in drag could hurt his standing with fellow Republicans. "The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or 'performed' as a drag Queen is categorically false," Santos, who is gay, wrote on Twitter, calling the recent allegations an "outrageous claim." According to Rochard, who also provided photos allegedly showing Santos in drag, Santos performed under the name "Kitara Ravache." Nearly three dozen of Santos's Republican colleagues introduced a bill taking aim at drag queen story hours. But Santos is also the first non-incumbent gay Republican elected to Congress, and is one of just a handful of out gay Republicans to ever serve in Congress.
