A thread with gratitude to @mashagessen @nytimes for covering the corporate complicity verdict against LaFarge this week & for the chance to discuss how corporate enabling (incl., now, by BigTech) is key to preventing mass atrocities. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/04/17/opini…

Serious kudos due here as TV pool resumes today with CNN back in place. Solidarity is tough to sustain in a competitive environment, but they did it: justsecurity.org/158868/trum…
The Trump administration allowed CNN to resume its TV pool coverage duties Friday, capping a whirlwind week of restrictions being imposed and lifted after President Donald Trump banned the network, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.

Journalists are showing solidarity in the face of President Trump's effort to ban select media outlets from the White House.

Despite the court order overnight, CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters are still being blocked from entering the White House grounds today. Yet for Xi’s visit, members of the Chinese state media are present.

With move of solidarity by press pool in response to Trump ban on MSNow, CNN, Politico ⬇️

Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”
“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.” Via @brianstelter

Yesterday, ABC & parent co. Disney sued the FCC. It marks the solidifcation of a shift in strategy by the media giant, from capitulation to resistance, in the face of Trump admin attacks on #freespeech My latest #freepress tracker update @just_security justsecurity.org/112792/trum…

Thank you. I’m grateful. But this is a pattern. BigTech releases “innovative product” / ppl who work with vulnerable populations generate needed outcry on its danger / BigTech - in best case scenario - presses pause. BigTech needs ppl to spot these issues in advance.
Re: our statement on Image Generation in Google Earth:
“We know that people uniquely trust Google Earth for a reliable view of the world. We’ve seen geospatial professionals using this feature for a range of useful purposes, however we’ve also seen people sharing screenshots of generated imagery that appear to violate our policies. So we’re rolling back this feature in Google Earth while we work on implementing stronger guardrails. It's important to note that generated images didn’t appear in the main Google Earth experience for others to see and were watermarked as AI generated.”

Seconding this urgent call. It is utterly reckless for @google to have launched this. It needs to be taken down right now.
I implore @Google to take this feature down ASAP. @HRL_YaleSPH deals with attempted disinformation related to overhead imagery and open source info on a near daily basis. Nano Banana opens floodgates to sum of all fears level spoofing of sat data that will hurt vulnerable people.

Important letter from UN mandate holders. As I discuss on this @justsecurity podcast, gettings its own house in order on investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against its officials must be prioritized by the #ICC justsecurity.org/150425/what…
⚖️ Now Public: My letter with @profbensaul and @UNSRVAW to the Assembly of States Parties of the @IntlCrimCourt expressing concern over inadequacies and irregularities in procedural rules for handling misconduct complaints.
The @IntlCrimCourt must ensure that its complaint procedures align with international human rights law, requiring investigations concerning court personnel to be independent, victim-centered, and shielded from political influence.

I believe in a world where we can achieve accountability for atrocities in Gaza, in Ukraine, in Sudan & other places where the #ICC is active AND make good on the commitments made at the height of #metoo. It is not an either/or. justsecurity.org/150425/what…

Thank you to career prosecutor Brenda Hollis for this important statement. The quest for justice should never be conflated with a single individual. Behind Karim Khan there was a team of professionals seeking accountability in the Palestine investigation. #ICC
