minors. A Twitter spokesperson at the time said the platform’s policies already outline a range of prohibited behavior including content that involves child exploitation or promoting suicide or self-harm. “Let us be clear – we have a zero-tolerance policy … it is against the Twitter Rules to promote, glorify or encourage suicide and self-harm, and we do not allow the use of Twitter for any unlawful behavior or to further illegal activities, including the buying and selling of drugs,” the spokesperson said last week. Russia’s decision to slow down Twitter’s upload speeds came after authorities in the nation sued Twitter and other social media platforms regarding decisions to keep up certain posts about February’s protests over the detention of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Twitter has also played a role in protestors communicating as they demonstrated against Navalny’s detention.
Hitler’s Black Book
ademics known for their hostility to Germany and pro-Jewish sentiments. Many of the people unfortunate enough to be included in the Black Book would likely have suffered a worse fate than incarceration. SS Col. Franz Six, a German professor turned war-criminal, was tapped to “set up Einsatzgruppen [paramilitary SS death squads]…as the situation dictates and the necessity arises.” The Black Book was the idea of SS Col. Walter Schellenberg, a senior Gestapo intelligence officer. Starting in 1937, the Gestapo began compiling an alphabetized list of suspects along with their addresses and phone numbers. The pamphlet also included hundreds of organizations and schools that were to be shut down post-invasion, with the directors imprisoned or killed. This included the Boy Scouts, the Anglican church, the Freemasons, and the Amalgamated Societies of Bakers and Confectioners. All were either headed by one with Jewish ancestry or were expected to provide significant opposition to the occupying Wehrmacht army. Found shortly after World War II in Berlin by English spies, the Black Book astounded Britons for its thoroughness. “How diligent the Nazi note-takers must have been searching through newspapers, listening to gossip, scrutinizing German passport visas, and keeping track of the poor exiles who had fled from persecution in their homeland,” wrote The Guardian in 1945.
A new book details how Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, ym”sh, compiled a list of 3,000 prominent Britons slated to be included in the first batch to be rounded up in the event of a German invasion of England. Written by historian Sybil Oldfield, “The Black Book” is named after the pamphlet filled with names that was to be handed out to tens of thousands of SS troops. Had Nazi Germany successfully conquered Britain as Hitler intended, special units would have swept the countryside to round up the blacklisted Britons. Those on the list were slated for house arrest, with “protective detention” reserved for people considered especially dangerous to the Nazi regime. These included doctors, lawyers, prominent journalists and ac-
