The history of the UkraineTakeShelter website he built is quite a rabbit hole.
- How a well-meaning tech solution for Ukraine almost became a ‘Craigslist for pedophiles’
- A Website Resettling Ukrainian Refugees Got Adoring Headlines. Experts Say It Was Too Good to Be True.
While the American media gushed over UkraineTakeShelter, local activists on the ground in Poland and experts involved in privacy and humanitarian tech looked at the site with concern, outrage, and horror. Here was a site that had made headlines around the world — appearing in overwhelmingly positive stories on CNN, The TODAY Show, and ABC, among many others — but that didn’t verify hosts’ identities until March 21, nearly three weeks after it had gone live, a decision experts said put refugees that used the site at risk for human trafficking. In addition, the lax security measures have also exposed the private data of the hosts opening their homes to refugees, allowing anyone to see information including hosts’ phone numbers and email addresses with a few clicks.
“Look, I definitely agree I should have had a better verification system in place at the start,” he says. “But the way I see it is, it’s better late than never to add these features.”
rfk is polling high enough and is on the ballot in enough states now that he meets the eligibility criteria for the next debate
kamala should announce that she’ll debate rfk if trump doesn’t show up, i bet trump would change his mind and join in then
I’m usually a Delta-9 male, but Delta-8 edibles are fine too.
Trump also appeared to forget that he was no longer in charge of foreign policy, leaving one interview early to “deal with” a conflict in Afghanistan.
“He [Trump] also seemed to think that he still had some foreign policy powers,” he noted. “There was one day where he told me he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan, even though he clearly didn’t,” he said, adding that Trump actually called the nation “the Afghanistan.”
lol at the image of trump saying “i have to go deal with the afghanistan” whenever he has to leave an interview to take a shit.
