Ep.1 is about The Well and British Journalist #JamieBartlett claims that The Well was the world's first social network.
Before he was even born the Brits (and Europeans!) were running big, successful online social media sites and I think we mostly understood the potential consequences.
From an American? Fine - But come on BBC/Jamie! Do your research or get Tom Sandage to fact-check a little. Grr!
On/around 27th May 2024, the traffic from Azerbaijan to www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk reduced by over 80%.
Looking at our data, I can see that the vast majority of traffic in Azerbaijan comes from AS29049 (Delta Telecom) which is their majority ISP according to Wikipedia.
OONI says tests were passing as recently as 28th May from AS29049 but there's definitely something going on...Unsure exactly what.
(the gap in AS29049 is a GeoIP data migration) #Azerbaijan#Censorship#InfoSec
Hmm, traffic to www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk from Taiwan is also down - by > 90% on a gradual then accelerated decline from 20th May 2024.
Most affected is Chungwa Telecom (AS3462).
(the gap in AS3462 is a GeoIP data migration).
Other countries/networks data look fine...something doesn't smell right here. #Taiwan#BBC

Devant les images tournées clandestinement l’été dernier en #Égypte par la #BBC, #LOréal et #EstéeLauder assurent qu’elles prennent déjà des mesures pour faire cesser ces pratiques.
The BBC's Quentin Sommerville spent a month with revolutionary forces at jungle bases and on front lines in Myanmar....Two loudspeakers, as big as the men carrying them, are brought to the rocky hilltop. Some 800m below, in the town of Hpasang, lies a sprawling Myanmar army base....
The documentary was not broadcast in #Canada. Hansen said the reason B.C.’s wood pellet industry is a focus in #UnitedKingdom is the #Drax Power Station in #England.
