General situation:
Large concentrations of UAVs continue moving past Poltava and Kremenchuk toward the Kamianske district of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
New groups of UAVs from Kherson Oblast are heading toward the Kryvyi Rih area and Mykolaiv Oblast.
UAVs from Mykolaiv Oblast are moving in the direction of Vinnytsia Oblast.

Many oblasts of Ukraine are under russian drone attack right now.
Bombers are taking off as well — another massive, coordinated strike unfolding tonight.
For this #BandcampFriday, consider some of my favourite musicians from #Belarus:
lavonvolski.bandcamp.com/ — the tentpole of Belarusian rock
leibonik.bandcamp.com/ — cerebral, irreverent, incisive
irdorath-by.bandcamp.com/ — pagan folk band that spent years in prison for bringing bagpipes to a protest
dzieciuki.bandcamp.com/ — fighting songs for every occasion
naviband.bandcamp.com/ — a gentle and soulful duo who gave up big scene in the homeland but kept their principles
This is not what is happening at all.
The amount of misinformation on BlueSky about AI is insane, and it keeps promising that AI is all hype that is going away soon.
A really dangerous position that cedes all AI policy and decisions about how it will be used to others.
Also Futurism is clickbait

Russians continue their human safari in Kherson. They hunt people with drones. Kherson is being used as a training ground for killing civilians.
Right now, civilians in the city (women, children, and pensioners) are being hunted, killed, and it's being filmed by Russians - all with impunity.

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles.
We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive.

Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy.

I tell myself the fact that I have no idea what the state of the world is. That concept is false. If something shitty is going on I do what I can, but none of us ca possibly know “The State of the World”. It’s ***way*** too large to make sense of. It isn’t represented by “climate change” “fascism” “poverty” “late-stage capitalism”. All those things are true but no list you can make is the whole truth.
The world has infinite corners you don’t know about.

Tech policy is now industrial policy
IT'S MONDAY, AND THIS IS DIGITAL POLITICS. I'm Mark Scott, and will be in Amsterdam and Brussels during the week of Feb 16, and then back in Brussels the week of Feb 23. If you're around for coffee, drop me a line here.
Also, apologies to those of you who struggled to open/read last week's dispatch. It was caused by an issue with Ghost's back-end infrastructure. Hopefully, it's all working this week.
— What defines digital policymaking is fundamentally shifting from a focus on online issues to those that directly affect the offline world.
— American lawmakers are again debating if Europe's online safety rules threaten the First Amendment. What is actually going on here?
— The world's semiconductor market remains highly concentrated within East Asia.
Let's get started:
Oooooh SNAP!!! 💥
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain:
“First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. This means that CEOs of these tech platforms will face criminal liability […]
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. […]
spreading hate must come at a cost.”
