    Jake Paul: You Can’t Call 911 If You Dislike ICE

    Digital Phablet – The controversial boxer and influencer Jake Paul recently stirred discussions on X (formerly Twitter) after posting to his official account in defense of ICE and criticizing popular singer Billie Eilish over her comments at the 2026 Grammys.

    Paul stated, “If you don’t like ICE, then you can’t call 911 when you’re in trouble. If you don’t respect law enforcement officers, then you shouldn’t rely on them.”

    He also added, “When Billie Eilish’s home gets broken into, it’s not gonna be ‘f*** ICE,’ I can guarantee that.”

    The post attracted over four million views and 54,000 likes. Paul responded to his own tweet with, “Wait, technically, she can’t get broken into because she stole the land lololol.”

    This post sparked considerable debate on the platform, with many activists criticizing the influencer for his political stance on the issue.

    One user commented, “Can’t even blame you. All those blows to your head over the years have probably messed with your brain.”

    Another added, “ICE doesn’t respond to 911 calls, you absolute idiot. That’s toddler-level logic: ‘If you don’t like one government agency, you can’t use any government service.’”

    Conversely, some users supported Paul’s opinion. A social media commenter responded, “It’s not even her home; it can’t be burglarized on stolen land.”

    According to various reports from the U.S., Jake Paul is currently in Italy attending the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Games alongside U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Paul attended the hockey match between the U.S. and Finland, which ended with a 5-0 victory for Team USA.

    The influencer’s fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, is representing the Netherlands at the event as a speed skater.

  • Google Simplifies 911 Calls on Your Pixel Watch

    Google Simplifies 911 Calls on Your Pixel Watch

    The Emergency SOS feature on Pixel devices is a crucial safety tool, but it can occasionally cause unwelcome issues if triggered by accident—like sending an inappropriate video to all twelve of your emergency contacts. A recent update for Emergency SOS on Pixel Watches aims to reduce such incidents, or at least that’s the idea.

    Google initially shared news of this update at the end of January, and it’s now being rolled out to users. Now, if you press the watch crown five times, it won’t immediately dial 911. Instead, you’ll be prompted to press and hold your screen for three seconds before a call is initiated.

    This added step is intended to help avoid unintentional emergency calls. However, it does come with a trade-off: the extra time it takes could potentially make it a bit less secure than before. Nonetheless, this feature becomes the new default option, though you have the ability to switch back to the former setting for instant dialing by simply pressing the crown.

    All users of the Pixel Watch should receive an alert about the Emergency SOS feature update once they upgrade to version 2025.01.23.x of Wear OS.

    The importance of features like this has been demonstrated repeatedly. For instance, in April 2023, the Emergency SOS function on an iPhone was crucial in rescuing three students who had become stranded in a canyon in Utah. Being able to discreetly call for help can be a matter of life or death.

    Should you accidentally call 911, it’s essential not to hang up, as this can lead emergency dispatchers to call you back. Instead, stay on the line and explain that it was a mistake. Accidental calls are more common than you think, and there are generally no repercussions for one-off incidents—just make sure it’s not a frequent occurrence.
