Tracked using Apple airtags

lundi 24 janvier 2022 à 14:19

Many people are calling the cops to report that they are being tracked using Apple airtags.

The systems to inform people that they are being tracked with airtags are available only to people that carry an iMonster or an Android phone. However, to use those devices as protection from tracking is perverse, because they are tracking devices themselves. The phone network records its locations and stores that data for months.

IMSI-catcher devices (used by thugs at protests to identify protesters) track them locally, too.

County in Georgia

lundi 24 janvier 2022 à 14:19

A Republican-dominated county in Georgia is considering closing all but one of the voting places. The result would be to stop poor people from voting, because it would be too far to go.

In principle, they could vote by mail, but Republicans are also imposing new rules on that.

Republicans claim this won't stop poor people from voting, but given how Republicans endorse lying, I don't believe a word of it. There is no other reason for them to do these things except voter suppression, so they will surely get around to that.

Special election thugs

Whistle blown on UK Environment Agency

lundi 24 janvier 2022 à 14:19

*Staff blow whistle on [UK] Environment Agency that "no longer deters polluters."*

This does not surprise me. The Tory Party is the all-out plutocracy party. Its policy on pollution by businesses is, "Full speed ahead." We've seen the EPA in the US quietly yield to business pressure under past administrations, Republican and Democrat, and then the corrupter converted it into the Environmental Poisoning Agency.
