Congress overrides Obama's veto

dimanche 2 octobre 2016 à 02:00

Congress overrode Obama's veto and passed the bill to end Salafi Arabia's immunity from lawsuits about supporting terrorist attacks in the US.

I don't know whether the Salafi state directly supported any such attacks. However, the Salafi sect, which it has spread around the Muslim world, is the basis for a lot of cruelty, and perhaps indirectly for terrorism.

The former intelligence head of Peru has been convicted of murdering three people in his headquarters. 15,000 others were disappeared in that period.

FBI agent fired for reporting rule-breaking

dimanche 2 octobre 2016 à 02:00

FBI agent Parkinson reported other employees for breaking rules, and was fired. The Department of Justice is going to great lengths to screw him.

Using the FBI's plane for personal travel is defrauding the US treasury. It is valid to report that. However, when this person complains that someone uses the services of a prostitute, or watches porn, he is being a jerk. He should stop harassing other staff about their personal lives.

However, he shouldn't have been fired for that, or falsely accused.

The European Parliament has approved arbitrary internet censorship, without even a trial, as an "anti-terrorist" measure.

Re-identifying anonymized data

dimanche 2 octobre 2016 à 02:00

Australia proposes to make it a crime to re-identify anonymized data, but only data published by the state.

It is an interesting idea for protecting privacy. Of course, it should have limited exceptions for security testing and research in certain cases. But as long as it only applies to data that came from the state, it can't address much of the problem.
