Activists as lobbyists

Governor Cuomo plans to make groups of activist volunteers register as professional lobbying organizations.

This would greatly hamper their activities, which I suppose is what Cuomo wants, he being a plutocratist Democrat.

Macron and opposition to Zionism

jeudi 11 avril 2019 à 02:00

Macron wants to prosecute opposition to Zionism, and condemnation of Israel because of its discriminatory laws, as "anti-semitism". That is a falsehood.

Anti-semitism is a form of bigotry and hatred. I condemn it because I condemn bigotry and hatred, and perhaps a little more strongly seeing as I am part of the group that its hate is directed at.

However, questioning the legitimacy of Israel's laws and policies is not anti-semitism. Confusing the two is the lie that the supporters of Israel's discrimination and its occupation policies have been pushing for years.

speakout.tech

The site speakout.tech invites employees to blow the whistle on unethical technical systems.

This could be great if it covered all the major kinds of unethical activity, including distributing nonfree software to users and collecting sensitive personal information including where people go, what they do, and who they talk with, and other forms of malicious functionalities.

However, I expect they limit themselves to much narrower categories of unethical technology.
