In this episode of Trending, the crackdown on free speech continues as Israeli police raid a Palestinian bookshop - twice in one month - seizing books by Banksy and Noam Chomsky. 

Meanwhile, AI-driven censorship ramps up, with algorithms deciding what information is deemed acceptable. The episode explores how governments, tech giants, and intelligence agencies are rewriting history in real time, weaponising technology to control narratives. Plus, a bizarre Freedom of Information request exposes politicians' private chatbot searches—revealing just how deeply AI is already embedded in governance.
