The spy who loved me – the agent who used status to haunt partner

Published

There are new reports an MI5 agent used his covert status to terrorise his partner before moving abroad to continue working for the intelligence agency

An investigation into the man has found he threatened to kill the woman, even using a machete to attack her.

The individual remains nameless after the government took British public broadcaster, the BBC, to court in order to block the story from being published.

In the high-stakes legal battle, the BBC argues the public has aright to know the spy’s name, as this will help protect potential future victims from harm.

Although the court rejected this initial argument, the broadcaster was successful in one element of the case, granted permission to publish the wide-ranging investigation.

Reports suggest he is a right-wing extremist with a violent past, meeting the woman on a dating site.

She says the secret agent used his position within the British security services to terrorise her, alleging he collected weapons and made her watch terrorist videos of executions.

The victim says it all ultimately led to her having a breakdown because she became so afraid of everything.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

 

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
