GB News: BBC under fire for cutting Donald Trump jokes from David Tennant Bafta speech: 'Chickens!'
The BBC edited out several jokes about Donald Trump from David Tennant's opening monologue during the Bafta Film Awards broadcast. The edits were made to condense the three-hour ceremony into a two-hour show, with some Trump-related quips remaining in the final version.
Viewers reacted mixedly on social media, with some criticizing the BBC for the cuts, while others supported the decision, arguing that Tennant's comments on American politics were unnecessary. Tennant hosted the ceremony for the second consecutive year, opening with a musical performance.

The Federalist: DOD 'Social Engineering' Program Created Phony Online Accounts
The Department of Defense has funded a program for "large scale social deception," involving the creation of fraudulent social media accounts. This initiative, which received over $9.1 million, aims to defend against social engineering attacks but raises concerns about potential violations of Americans' rights to privacy and speech.
Various contractors, including Thomson Reuters Special Services and Raytheon, developed systems to engage with and extract information from perceived threats. Despite the stated purpose of combating scams, the program's mechanisms could be used to target American citizens, with some systems showing alarmingly low accuracy rates in distinguishing between friend and foe online.

Fox News: Protecting Americans’ data from China is central to an America First agenda
President Trump has announced the $500 billion Stargate project aimed at enhancing America's digital infrastructure and creating jobs. This initiative is a response to China's technological ambitions, which threaten U.S. sovereignty and security. The project emphasizes the importance of domestic data centers to protect sensitive information from foreign adversaries.
