Recipients of 575-228-1828 in New Mexico - Journalist Surveillance

We are all being surveilled in USA. This from the Zorro Investigative reporter. We will bring all the criminals to justice one day ! “A note to my friends and followers: Someone is monitoring my social media and contacting people in my network. Today, an unidentified male caller using the number (575) 228-1828 called my friend HL. They asked if she knew me by name. When she confirmed that she did, they hung up without identifying themselves. This number is registered to a robocall company. But this was not a robocall. A human being asked a specific, targeted question and hung up when they got their answer. This means whoever made this call is likely using a secondary telecom company to mask their true identity — a known tactic used by private investigators working on behalf of powerful interests to intimidate and surveil journalists and witnesses. This is not a new playbook. It is the same method used by private investigators in Florida to surveil and intimidate Epstein survivors. I am an investigative journalist currently reporting on Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and the political network that protected it for decades. I am documenting this incident formally with state officials investigating the Zorro Ranch case. If anyone in my network receives a call from this number or any unidentified caller asking about me, please do not engage. Document the call — number, time, date, exact words — and contact me directly. I am not afraid. I am paying attention. And now, so are you. I will keep reporting. Update: The number (575) 228-1828 routes through Inteliquent/Onvoy, a wholesale VOIP carrier currently under multistate 51-AG investigation. Private investigators are the primary users of VOIP numbers routed through wholesale carriers like Inteliquent/Onvoy for surveillance purposes. Other typical users: Law firms doing opposition research on behalf of wealthy clients. Hmm. What attorney did I piss off last week who sicced his entire family on me and then went on a damage control media tour to promote the lie that he had to stop the Zorro investigation? Not saying it's him but given his high level of panic and history of unethical shenanigans and bullying, I would not be surprised. Far more likely it is someone local. National and international folks have bigger fish to fry. The petty machista feifedoms of New Mexico, however? Fragile boys. Also: Corporate intelligence firms — companies like Black Cube, Kroll, or smaller regional equivalents that powerful people hire when they want deniability. And: political operatives. Anyone who needs to confirm a target's social connections without revealing who is asking. A subpoena to Inteliquent can identify the actual end-user who made this call. The NM DOJ has that power, and they now have this information. The trail is not cold. This is traceable. They are not as hidden as they think.”

People Who Started Gambling Before 18 - TikTok Influencer Marketing

Journalist investigating how TikTok influencers market sports betting to minors- looking to hear your story (Mod Approved) TDLR- journalism still doesn’t Northeastern, working on a published investigation for commonwealth beacon about how sports betting companies use TikTok influencers to target minors. Looking to speak with anyone who started gambling before 18 or was influenced by social media/influencers. Post approved by mod. Hey everyone, I want to be upfront: I’m a journalist student at Northeastern University and I’m here because it was directed to this community by your moderator who has been incredibly generous and helping me understand this issue. This post has his approval. I’m working on an investigative piece for a Commonwealth beacon, a nonprofit news outlet covering Massachusetts. The stories about how online sports betting companies use TikTok influencers to market young audiences – including minors – and whatever they do so knowingly. I understand that this industry has caused real harm to people, and that trust doesn’t come easy – specially from stranger on the Internet claiming to be a journalist. That’s fair. I’m not here to sensationalize anyone’s experience or push any agenda. I want to tell this story, accurately, and that means I need to hear from people who lived it. I was specifically hoping to connect with anyone who: Started gambling or sports betting before age 18. Was introduced to bedding to social media: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, influencers, promo codes, etc. Has thoughts on how the industry target young people online. If you’re not comfortable, sharing publicly, DMS are open. Once the story is published, I’ll come back and share the link here. We’re rolling enough to talk matters, and I want to see the impact it makes. Thank you for reading, and thank you to this community for existing.

Swiss Social Media Users - Under-16 Ban Vs Algorithm Regulation

Do you think banning social media for under-16s in Switzerland would solve anything, or is the real issue how algorithms work? Hi everyone, I’m a journalist working on a piece about platform regulation and I’d really like to hear how users see this, not just policymakers or experts. Some countries (like Australia) are introducing bans on social media for under-16s, partly because of concerns about algorithms and AI systems that keep people scrolling and amplify certain content. But others argue that this doesn’t really address the core issue: how platforms are designed, how algorithms rank content, and the incentives behind them. So I’m curious: Do you think banning or restricting access (especially for younger users) actually helps? Or should regulation focus more on algorithms and how platforms work? Have you personally noticed how recommendation systems shape what you see or how long you stay online? Would really appreciate your thoughts, even short impressions are super helpful. You can comment here or send me a private message!

Hospitality Experts on Branding & Guest Experience for Newsletter

Looking for experts in hospitality. 🔍🔍 Do you know someone who has a strong point of view on topics like branding, guest experience, restaurant concepts, hotel positioning, social media, or community building? Over the past few years, I’ve shared a lot of posts about hospitality trends, case studies and industry questions — and I realized the topics that resonate the most are always the same kind of problems. 💡Why do 5-star hotels still serve 2-star coffee. 💡Why are the coffee shops inside Pilates studios always empty. 💡How a newsletter can go from 3% click rate to 18%. Different businesses, different scales, but often the same questions behind. So I’m starting a new newsletter where each issue explores one of these topics with the perspective of people actually working in the field. Owners, operators, CMOs, designers, consultants, suppliers… If someone comes to mind, tag them 👇 (or message me) Launching soon. 💌

Dublin Indie Blog Roadhouse Mag Connections 2003-2006 Needed

Searching for anyone connected to an old (2003-2006) Dublin indie music web blog Roadhouse Mag Hi! this is a bit of a strange music history mystery and I’m hoping someone here might remember something. My partner and I run a small independent print music publication in Chicago called Roadhouse Magazine. Recently while redesigning our website, I was using the Wayback Machine to pull an old screenshot of our site from when it first launched so I could make a simple “before vs after” promotional post. While digging through archived results, I unexpectedly discovered that an unrelated online publication using the exact same name existed in Ireland in the early 2000s (roughly 2003–2006). From what I’ve been able to piece together through archived pages, it looked like a grassroots indie / alternative scene magazine. They were interviewing local bands, reviewing shows, posting gig listings, sharing live photos, and even organizing live recording sessions. It seemed genuinely embedded in the local music community at the time, but there is very little information still online now. I’ve come across references to bands like The Delawares and mentions of contributors or editors named Kevin and Ciaran, but not much beyond that. I’m currently working on a short documentary series about discovering this forgotten publication and trying to piece together what happened to it. If anyone here remembers the original Roadhouse Magazine, wrote for it, played shows connected to it, or has any leads at all, I would really love to hear from you. Ideally, I’d love to connect with the original site runners (Kev, Dec, and Ciaran) in order to help preserve the documentation of Irelands punk and indie music scene during that time period. I would love to help digitize their live sessions (I found mentions of these existing but have found nothing on social media which makes sense considering this website is pre social media) and further document their work so it isn’t lost to just the Wayback Machine. If you have any information or remember this blog or the folks behind it, please let me know.

Energy Security Expert on Iranian Drones Threatening Hormuz Oil Flow

Shouldn’t the U.S. see Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz as the biggest threat to oil prices? I may not have all the details, and I need an expert to weigh in for this piece. Control of the Strait of Hormuz is at stake. Iran has effectively blocked tankers, carrying 20% of the world’s oil, triggering market volatility and raising the risk of lifting sanctions on Russia. On social media, Trump said the U.S. destroyed 10 inactive Iranian mine-layers, with more actions to follow to keep the waterway open. Earlier, he noted Gulf countries can use the strait—it’s just the tankers’ choice not to. Now the question is whether the U.S. Navy will escort partner tankers. But Ukraine shows the real danger isn’t mines or the fleet, reportedly already neutralized by the U.S.—it’s the drones. Iran still has plenty, upgraded by Russia, and clearly getting intel from the Kremlin.

UK Charity Representatives on Reddit Community Engagement

#Journorequest: I'm researching for a Third Sector Podcast episode looking into how charities are making use of Reddit to engage with communities. Reddit recently overtook TikTok to become the UK's fourth most-visited social media service. For many, it's a source of much-needed authentic human insight and a forum for sharing lived experience. Its content is also being used to train AI models. Are UK charities part of the conversation? And if so, how? Are they using organisational accounts or empowering supporters to be effective ambassadors? Is this helping to fight misinformation about a charity or a cause? If you have answers to any of these questions, or indeed a perspective on why your charity is reluctant to engage on Reddit, I'd love to hear from you.

Travel Automation Leaders on Customer Service Crisis Performance

Almost exactly 6 years to the date when travel’s customer service went through a catastrophic collapse because of Covid. We’re seeing a version of that now, concentrated in the Middle East but rippling across regions. The industry promised it would be better next time. Millions went into AI chatbots, self-service rebooking, automated call routing. The past two weeks have been the first real stress test of those promises. I genuinely want to know: did it work? Because the complaints I’m seeing on social media look painfully familiar. Same “due to heavy volumes” banners on the same travel homepages. I’d like to hear from people building and operating these systems about what’s actually different now versus 2020. Here’s the tension I want to explore: if the investment in automation came at the cost of human surge capacity, did six years of technology investment actually build crisis-grade customer service, or just make normal customer service cheaper?

Introverted African AI Builders for Freelance Case Study

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙣. ➡ The best networker. ➡ The most confident speaker. ➡ The person who could command attention. Success in business often looked like this: • Speak confidently • Lead meetings • Network constantly • Sell aggressively 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒆𝒕? 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒕𝒐 “𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍.” But something fascinating is happening right now. AI is quietly rewriting the rules of productivity. We are entering an era where one individual can operate like an entire company. 𝑻𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒂 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑨𝑰 𝒇𝒐𝒓: ➡ Marketing ➡ Sales copy ➡ Market research ➡ Financial modeling ➡ Customer service ➡ Product documentation ➡ Social media management 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧. 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. And this environment favors something incredibly powerful: Deep thinkers. Introverts naturally excel at: ✔ Focused work ✔ Deep problem solving ✔ Independent thinking ✔ Long periods of concentration ✔ Learning complex tools AI becomes their permanent collaborator. No office politics. No personality pressure. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐮𝐭. Recently, I noticed something fascinating while interacting with fresh graduates in Uganda. Many young professionals — especially in marketing — are choosing AI-powered freelance models. They manage: • Multiple company social media accounts • Content creation • Digital marketing campaigns • Analytics reporting All from a laptop. No office rent. No large teams. No bureaucracy. Just skill + AI leverage. And interestingly… Many of these high-performing freelancers are introverts. The same personalities the traditional workplace often underestimated. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑖𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔. From personality-driven productivity to capability-driven productivity. And in the AI era… Quiet builders may outperform loud performers. The real question for African businesses is no longer: “Will AI change work?” It already has. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠: Are we creating environments where talent — regardless of personality type — can use AI to compete globally? Because the next billion-dollar companies might not come from large teams. They might come from: One focused individual. One laptop. And the right tools. If you're an introvert building with AI… I'd love to hear your story. What tools are you using right now? #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #AIRevolution #DigitalEconomy #AfricaRising #Leadership #PRINCE2 #AfricanEntrepreneurs

Blue Lagoon Eruption Eyewitness for Iceland Feature Story

Looking to interview someone affected by the Iceland Blue Lagoon volcanic eruption (student journalist) Hello everyone! I'm a journalist student based in the United Kingdom, and I am planning to write a feature story based on Iceland's blue lagoon's, for my university assignment. After i did some research, I found that in 2025 there were quite big volcano eruptions around the area. I'm hoping to base my story on 1 specific person who was staying at the Blue Lagoon around the time of the eruption, and who may have seen the evacuation, disruption, or events unfolding nearby. I'm also interested in hearing from locals, tourists, or workers who might know more about what happened around that time. The conversation would be very short (around 5-10 minutes) and can be done through Reddit messages if that's easiest or on any other social media app you prefer. If you're happy to share your experience and be the main character of my story, or know someone who was there, please comment below or send me a message. Thank you so much in advance.

Interview Subjects for Extreme Smartphone Disconnect Strategies

I'm a journalist and I want to talk to you! Hi all, I'm a Chicago-based journalist working on a story about people who have gone to extreme lengths to disconnect from their smartphones and/or social media. Being that this reddit is all about dumbphones, I want to talk to you! Basically every single, "how to lessen your screen time" article feels exactly the same and totally ineffective. Putting your phone in black and white, setting up Apple's app-limit function or going on a walk can only take you so far. I'm looking for kooky ways people have peeled themselves off their devices. If you're open to sharing how/why you started using your dumbphone, or if you have another untraditional strategy for quitting tech you think I'd be interested in, You can private message me here on reddit, or I set up a temporary number at (708) 568-1651. Leave me a voicemail or shoot through a text. Please only reach out if you're open to potentially being interviewed. Appreciate it!

Case Studies of Extreme Device Disconnection Methods Wanted

What's the craziest thing you've done to unglue yourself from a device? Hi all, I'm a journalist working on a story about people who have gone to extreme lengths to disconnect from their devices and/or social media. If you use, or have used, a kooky strategy that isn't covered in every single, "how to lessen your screen time" article (i.e. buy Brick, put your phone in black and white, set up Apple's provided app-limit function, go on a walk, log off after 7 p.m.... hopefully you catch my drift), I want to talk to you! An example of a story could be the Florida mom who went viral for throwing her daughter's iPad out the window. Or a guy I read about in a blog who disassembled his computer to prevent himself from playing video games at night. You can private message me here on reddit, or I set up a temporary number at (708) 568-1651. Leave me a voicemail or shoot through a text. Please only reach out if you're open to potentially being interviewed. Appreciate it!
