YouTube has begun considering new measures to prevent misleading and harmful content on its platform. One of the changes and updates the company is considering is a 'break' sharing feature.  This feature is for videos that have content that is uncertain. If implemented, it would be a major turning point in the platform. Neil Mohan, YouTube's chief product officer, said the company would do everything possible to prevent misleading content from going viral. Ukraine-Russia Conflict: The Event Of Military Escalation "Videos with uncertain content cannot be deleted under our policies, but we do not necessarily recommend such videos to the public, but this is no less of a challenge," he said.  This is because even if YouTube does not recommend such videos, they can go viral on other platforms.

It would have been done without judicial permission and also tracked the mobiles of former employees of state corporations and two mayors. The Pegasus cyber espionage program is once again making headlines in the Israeli media. But this time not because of the claim that another country has used it to spy on activists or journalists instead of the declared purpose (fight against international terrorism and crime) for which it bought the sophisticated system from the Israeli company NSO.  The reason is that, as revealed by the Israeli newspaper 'Calcalist', the Police have used the software to penetrate the mobile phones of Israeli citizens and extract information from them without permission or judicial supervision. "The Police bought Pegasus in 2013 but it was in 2015 when he started using it from his cybernetic unit," explains the author of the journalistic investigation. His article has led civil associations and parties on both the right and the left to demand an ...

State media report that the weapon hit a target 700 kilometres away. Japan and South Korea had previously reported the launch of a North Korean missile.

In competition with the US, China continues to expand its military. It already has the largest navy in the world. The goal: to become a superpower by 2049 at the latest. The enemy is in China's desert: two US warships can be seen there; instead of water, they have sand under their bugs. In the northwest of the People's Republic, in the Xinjiang region, the People's Liberation Army has had models of US warships installed. The dummies are probably used by the military for attack training and location exercises. In November, experts in the United States used satellite images to identify the outlines of an aircraft carrier and at least one destroyer , which can probably be moved on tracks. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said they had no information on the pictures. Which doesn't even amount to a denial. It is well known that American aircraft carriers near their own coastal waters worry the government in Beijing, as is that countermeasures have long been devel...
