In 2023, Labour Together—a think tank key to Keir Starmer's leadership shift—paid APCO Worldwide £30,000 to investigate reporters like Sunday Times' Gabriel Pogrund and Harry Yorke, Guardian's Henry Dyer, Paul Holden, and Matt Taibbi after stories on its £740,000 in unreported 2017-2020 donations. The firm labeled them 'significant persons of interest' and speculated their info came from an illegal hack, even submitting reports to the National Cyber Security Centre. Labour Together's then-director Josh Simons, now a minister, called it a probe into a suspected hack unrelated to UK journalists, but targeted reporters described the materials as a 'dodgy dossier' aimed at discrediting their work. Press freedom groups raised alarms over the tactics amid broader concerns about political pressure on scrutiny.

Key Takeaway

Journalists who exposed hidden donations faced unexpected scrutiny from a Labour-linked group, with leaked memos revealing a PR firm's detailed dossiers on them.

At Devconnect's EthProofs Day on November 22, projects like zkSync and ZisKVM showed real-time zero-knowledge proofs for Ethereum's Layer 1 blocks using consumer hardware like two RTX 5090 GPUs. These proofs verify transactions without every node re-running them, potentially allowing Ethereum to handle more activity per block and lower Layer 2 fees. Ethereum Foundation's Justin Drake predicted much higher gas limits ahead, while Vitalik Buterin highlighted the progress alongside some risks in worst-case scenarios. The advances bring decentralized, home-based proving closer to reality.

Key Takeaway

In a packed Buenos Aires pavilion, teams fired up everyday gaming GPUs to verify entire Ethereum blocks instantly. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake called one demo 'insane' for its speed and simplicity.
