A wide range of anonymous X (Twitter) users have reported that their real names are suddenly being Googled in Israel shortly after they began criticizing the country for its actions in Palestine. Some connected the phenomenon to Au10tix, the software X requires users (even anonymous ones) to use in order to verify their real identities. Au10tix is an Israeli company founded and staffed by former Israeli spies from the elite Israeli military intelligence group Unit 8200., AI, Elon Musk, Israeli Spies, Pegasus, Twitter, UNIT 8200, X,

    No way, an Israeli company founded by Israeli spies is spying on people who speak out against Israeli crimes.

    You can’t make this stuff up.

    A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And – what?!? – they’re using said data inappropriately?

    On topic, but a side note…this is how come my trust in privacyguides.com tanked a few weeks ago. They fully support X and actually recommend using it. It’s a bunch of sloppy children running that site.

      Can you link the privacyguides article? I used to rely on them quite a bit, so this would be disappointing to me. The only recommendations i found for social media are mastodon and element https://www.privacyguides.org/en/social-networks/#posting-content

        It’s not an official recommendation from them. They post a lot about how there is nothing wrong with X on their forum.

      Yeah, I’m pressing X to doubt on this one because the website still only recommends Mastodon and Element, and the page literally talks about why federation and decentralized social media is vital to privacy and anti-censorship. They even have people in the forums talking about twitter frontends so you don’t have to actually go to the site. They even purposely try to avoid promoting their accounts on centralized media, the footer of every page only shows Mastodon, Matrix, Peertube, and Bluesky.

      It’s privacyguides.ORG btw. Are you thinking of privacytools.io?

        I’m talking about the site I wrote about but had the .com wrong. I was an active member there, and had it out with Jonah about X

    Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.

      Israel shares all their spyware data with the US and UK. Basically they let Israel do all the illegal stuff as a legal (actually illegal but they don’t care) loophole.

      I have yet to read this book, but The Palestine Laboratory is supposed to outline how a lot of the surveillance and weaponry used today are first developed and tested in Israel to aid the occupation, then exported to other countries.

        Right and also many western police/military receive training from (former) IDF soldiers. Seems like Israel is the blueprint for the future of our countries.

    These people do know that is X is Elon Musk’s personal child porn/shit posting/data scraping website right?

    Why not pay and give your docs to Encyclopedia Dramatica too?
