  1. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c86l4pl6072o) reduced by 84%. (I’m a bot)

    > Weapons dealers in Yemen are openly using the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to sell Kalashnikovs, pistols, grenades and grenade-launchers.

    > UK-based NGO Tech Against Terrorism issued what it called an urgent plea to tech platforms to actively remove Houthi-supporting content on the internet and social media platforms.

    No matter what anyone says, you have to admit that if you are looking for real time breaking news x has it before anyone else does.

    Honestly it would be nice to be able to sell weapons on fb marketplace. Can’t even sell a bow or arrows on there now

    Of course the platform that Reddit hates is selling an item that Reddit hates how convenient

    If their glocks are $900 I don’t think they’re going to do a lot of business. Guns sold by pirates should be less than it would be at a gun show, not more.
