If you are tracking vessels in the Middle East on AIS, then pay close attention by zooming in. You may spot clusters of vessels appearing to be on top of one another. This is a result of GPS manipulation intended to misdirect inbound GPS-guided weapons.

The expanding war in Iran brought to the fore questions about the role of technology in armed conflict, including the controversial use of new artificial intelligence technologies. Tech Policy Press invited perspectives from experts on what they are watching for as the situation unfolds.
Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.
a post that has 'Andrew Tate' and 'detention' in the same sentence is a good post.

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

“The drones that hover over the skies of Lebanon…collect large swathes of data — Wi-Fi, IP addresses, phone signals — which are then organized by AI…in what some scholars and activists say amounts to a “digital occupation.” Fascinating by @justinsalhani.bsky.social

After reports of a Iranian #droneboat strike on an oil tanker off the coast of #Kuwait, we detected oil slicks near the SONANGOL NAMIBE tanker, thanks to Planet imagery. One of the many environmental impacts of the war on #Iran that we're currently tracking.
Trying to make sense of an aircraft’s movements during a conflict? Context is everything. That’s why we built Turnstone, an open source tool that searches historical flight data to allow researchers to explore flight patterns over time and in specific locations. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...
Hacked years ago, the cameras allowed Israel to map the city in detail, establish patterns of movement, and build an intricate, complex picture of what was happening inside an enemy capital, according to an Israeli official. #surveillance
