Miguel Afonso Caetano"Helyeh Doutaghi, a scholar in international law, began a new job in 2023 as the deputy director of a project at Yale Law School.As an activist who had championed pro-Palestinian causes in both published papers and public appearances, Dr. Doutaghi seemed to fit into the left-leaning mission of the Law and Political Economy Project, which promoted itself as working for “economic, racial and gender equality.”Last week, though, she was abruptly barred from Yale’s campus in New Haven, Conn., and placed on administrative leave. She was told not to advertise her affiliation with the university, where she had also served as an associate research scholar.Yale officials cited the reason as allegations that she was tied to entities subject to U.S. sanctions. It was an apparent reference to Samidoun, a pro-Palestinian group placed on the U.S. sanctions list last year, after the Treasury Department designated it a “sham charity” raising money for a terrorist organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.The decision came three days after a news site, powered at least in part by artificial intelligence, published a story about Dr. Doutaghi’s connections to the group."<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/us/yale-suspends-scholar-terrorism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3U4.pIRf.23G33xrVWl0U&smid=url-share" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/us/yale-suspends-scholar-terrorism.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3U4.pIRf.23G33xrVWl0U&smid=url-share</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/YaleUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YaleUniversity</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Censorship</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genocide</a>

WenApple - censoring things? Never 🤣I was asked by a relative to use <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/WhatsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhatsApp</a> - and responded with the appropriate comments about Meta, Privacy, Security, Bastards etc. I suggested they use Signal (we do and for work as well). I then wanted to follow it up with a link (and we use <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> desktops and laptops here backed up by a Linux farm). So I went to the appstore and searched on <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Signal</a> - this is what I was given. You need to get the link directly from Signal to find it.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Censorship</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Frit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Frit</a>
