OSINT, Twitter, and a $30 Million Bitcoin Ring
<p>For the first half of the show, we talk about a couple of stories around the Israel-Palestine conflict. First, Instagram "sincerely apologizes" to Sam for its auto-translations which added the word "terrorist" to sentences containing the word "Palestinian." Then, Joseph and Emanuel talk about their article about how verified Twitter accounts have taken the term "OSINT" and used it to spread their own garbage information. After the break, Joseph takes us through another story of his: a fascinating court record pulls back the curtain on a $30 million cash-for-Bitcoin ring that was operating right under everyone's noses in the heart of New York.</p><p><br /></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.404media.co/instagram-palestinian-arabic-bio-translation/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram ‘Sincerely Apologizes’ For Inserting ‘Terrorist’ Into Palestinian Bio Translation</a>s</li><li><a href="https://www.404media.co/twitter-verified-osint-accounts-are-destroying-the-israel-palestine-information-ecosystem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘Verified’ OSINT Accounts Are Destroying the Israel-Palestine Information Ecosystem</a></li><li><a href="https://www.404media.co/inside-a-30-million-cash-for-bitcoin-laundering-ring-in-the-heart-of-new-york/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inside a $30 Million Cash-for-Bitcoin Laundering Ring in the Heart of New York</a></li></ul><p><br /></p><p>404 Media is primarily funded by paying subscribers.
