IOC Internet Investigation 2026

UK: US Internet Companies Scrutinised Across Western World! (12.2.2026)

These concerns relate to whether personal data has been processed lawfully, fairly and transparently, and whether appropriate safeguards were built into Grok’s design and deployment to prevent the generation of harmful manipulated images using personal data. Where those safeguards fail, individuals lose control of their personal data in ways that expose them to serious harm. Examining these risks is central to the ICO’s role in protecting people’s rights and holding organisations to account as they design and deploy AI technology.

UK: I Turned Myself into an AI-Generated Deathbot – Here’s What I Found! (9.2.2026)

In many ways – the fascism inherent within Zionism – is a method developed to defend Jews from outside fascism. On the face of it – these developments, as irritating as they are – do represent a type of “studied” genius. This does not mean that the religious claims of Judaism are correct – or even rational. Do not forget that the telephone was originally developed not as a means of mass communication – but rather as a method enabling living people on this plane to contact disembodied beings existing on the spiritual plane. This Christian assumption turned-out to be false – and humanity was left with a piece of technology that linked living people on this plane – regardless of distance between callers. Religious myths often serve as the starting points for advanced technological developments. I remember on the early internet (c. 2000) when people encountered one another online and acted as if we were meeting one another on the street – or in a bar – using a measured politeness. Of course, the young messed it all up because they did not know any better (it is not their fault – but our fault as elders). I suspect people cannot stand me whilst I am alive – and certainly would not like to be reminded of “me” – once I have shuffled-off this mortal coil – as Shakespeare said. My father is nearing his physical end – he knows this and is happy with it. We hate capitalism – and he said to me that all the suffering will cease with a final, outward breath. So be it.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Makes Speech at Inauguration Ceremony for First-Stage Modernization Project of Ryongsong Machine Complex

DPRK: Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un – Speech at Inauguration Ceremony for First-Stage Modernization Project of Ryongsong Machine Complex! (23.1.2026)

Today the qualitative transformation of the machine-building industry, a basis for the development of the economy and progress of technology, has posed as a more urgent task. The remarkable trend of development and change, which the Ryongsong Machine Complex with the longest history and tradition started for its technological transformation aspiring after the modernization of the machine-building sector, can be called a stride ahead that instils confidence and encouragement in all of us including the relevant sectors.

But what I regard as a greater success is the following fact.

It is not merely that an enterprise has been modernized, but in the course of this, we have become better aware of our officials’ approach to the Party’s decisions and their present preparedness, and dealt a telling blow to the deeply-ingrained sense of irresponsibility and self-protectionism that hinder our advance and development.

This has reaffirmed which we should focus on and how we should solve them for our present and future work, and as such it is a success more meaningful than any economic achievements.

A device called a cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) pacemaker, can switch the heart’s fuel from sugar to fat after only two minutes, a study has found.

Oxford: CTC Pacemaker Could Help Reverse Heart Failure Symptoms by Switching Heart’s Fuel from Sugar to Fat! (21.1.2026)

Professor Neil Herring, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford, said: “The size of the improvement we’ve seen in the hearts in our study in response to CRT is remarkable. The slowing down of electrical signals in the heart, in some people who have heart failure, may mean the signal for the heart to use fat for fuel is lost, and their heart switches to using glucose instead. A pacemaker restores the “use fat for fuel” message through fixing the signalling problem as it regulates the heart. This then helps the heart to start to recover.

Iran: Reuters Claim “Chinese Domestic Firms Barred from Using US, Israeli Cybersecurity Software Amid ‘Security Concerns'” – But is it True? (15.1.2026)

Initially, I came across this article on Press TV via Telegram – but found that Google is “banning” Iranian media – whilst the US and Israel attempt a violent overthrow of the Iranian government. Instead, I had to open the below article via the Microsoft search-engine. Whether wordpress shadow-bans or ghosts this article is anyone’s guess. I have checked the Mainland Chinese-language “Baidu” search-engine for confirmation of this original “Reuters” article – and could not find any reference. Therefore, I would tread carefully. Reuters, just like all the Western news outlets are controlled by the bourgeois establishment and loyally does its (pro-capitalist) bidding. On the other hand, China, like any country, routinely exercises its right to self-defence – just as Iran is doing now.
