Fewer Albertans travelled to and from the U.S. since January: data, experts suggest
In February 2025, nearly 4,000 fewer Canadians returned to the country through Alberta border crossings than during the same month in 2024. In March, more than 4,300 fewer Canadians made the same return trip across the border, year-over-year.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🔍🌿 Laser light technology called LiDAR is transforming Maya #archaeology by creating 3D maps of ancient cities hidden beneath jungle canopy. Where archaeologists once hacked through wilderness on foot, now remote sensors capture detailed data showing extensive urban networks.

The 2016 PACUNAM survey alone mapped over 2,000 square kilometers and identified more than 60,000 structures, dramatically expanding our understanding of Maya civilization's scale and complexity.

Multiple
#independent #investigations and #leaked #internal #data confirm that #SocialMedia platforms—especially #Meta (#Facebook and #Instagram)—have engaged in #widespread, #systematic #censorship of #pro-Palestinian #content, often in direct response to #Israeli #government #requests[1][2][3][4][6][7]. This censorship has resulted in the #removal, #suppression, or #shadowbanning of tens of thousands of #posts and #accounts, with a disproportionate impact on users from Arab and Muslim-majority countries, but also affecting users worldwide[2][3][4][6].

Key points from the evidence:

- Meta has complied with 94% of Israeli government takedown requests since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 90,000 immediate removals and the suppression of millions more posts through automated systems[2][3][4][6].
- The vast majority of these requests targeted
#content #critical of #Israel or #supportive of #Palestinians, and only a tiny fraction targeted Israeli users[3][6].
-
#HumanRightsWatch and other NGOs have documented this as a #global, #systemic pattern of #censorship, not isolated incidents[1][5][7].
- There is no comparable evidence of systematic censorship or suspension for users expressing pro-Israeli views; the
#documented #bias overwhelmingly targets pro-Palestinian speech[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In summary, the documented reality is that pro-Palestinian views are aggressively censored on major social media sites, while pro-Israeli views do not face the same level of moderation or suppression. This creates a significant imbalance in the digital public sphere[1][2][3][4][6][7].

Human Rights Watch · Meta’s Broken PromisesThe 51-page report, “Meta’s Broken Promises: Systemic Censorship of Palestine Content on Instagram and Facebook,” documents a pattern of undue removal and suppression of protected speech including peaceful expression in support of Palestine and public debate about Palestinian human rights. Human Rights Watch found that the problem stems from flawed Meta policies and their inconsistent and erroneous implementation, overreliance on automated tools to moderate content, and undue government influence over content removals.

The digital boom makes Marseille a global data hub – but at what cost?

Marseille has emerged as the world’s sixth-largest internet hub, surpassing even Hong Kong and becoming a global crossroads for internet traffic.

Data centres continue to proliferate across the city, but the expansion is not without controversy as locals raise concerns about the environmental impact.
