The level of censorship in Israel right now is off the charts: https://www.972mag.com/israel-media-censorship-iran-war/ I suspect the gambler probably would have won on the basis of what happened but lost on the basis of what the times reported.

Man the moral degradation is off the charts. Prediction markets are easily the worst things to grace the internet by far and its not even close.

But the Times of Israel reporter reported that a missile hit - and where. The censor tries to prevent reports like that, for (ostensibly) security reasons - telling the enemy where their missiles hit.

Yep, far worse than cryptocurrency

There is a clip embedded within the article that corroborates what the journalist wrote.

I don't understand what are you saying. The journalist published an article claiming that a missile struck without being intercepted (although with no damage). The gamblers wanted the journalist to retract and say that the missile was intercepted. Are you saying that the gamblers were actually the censors or that the reality was that the missile was indeed intercepted and somehow the censors forced the journalist to say it wasn't?

Prediction markets need to be banned globally ASAP, but it would've helped the article to bring proof of: - the emails - the whatsapp messages - the discord messages - the X messages Mind you, I'm not stating the journalist is lying or overblowing, in fact I suspect this is all more widespread than we think, but for someone so fixated with being accurate with the sources you'd expect to bring more evidence, especially as some of it, like X messages/replies are public.

I truly don't know how you wake up, read this story with your morning coffee, and go to work at a company like this.

The rules don't apply for reporters outside of Israel, and this was historically been the way that Israeli journos and other bypass the censorship completely. The author is being pressured (IMO) because the degens feel like they can threaten him (physical proximity)

Why does everything you don't like need to be banned? Downvoters: I really doubt that you actually successfully 100% banned anything in technology.

Journalists do not normally work like that. That might be how beefs are fought on social media, but of course screenshots are easy to fake anyway.

I think it's the opposite - the censorship has made the Israeli public believe they're safer than they really are. The US is lying about their stockpiles and frantically moving resources from East Asia to try and shore up missile defense in the Middle East. These people believed that no Iranian missiles could possibly get through and instead of accepting they were misled they're shooting the messenger

The gambling market is really bringing out the worst of us.

Man, something like this is going to be a plot point in a movie/tv series soon. Could work in some crime procedural.

Wait until they ban prediction markets, then they will re-appear, and you will have to use cryptocurrency :)
