China_Paying_for_Personal_Data

mardi 23 juillet 2019 à 02:00

In China, companies actually pay people (with household goods) for personal data to train AIs.

Is this any better than what happens now in the US? I don't think so. A little pay cannot compensate for the loss anonymity cause by the spying and control that the AIs will enable.

Pride_Capitalism_in_Disguise

mardi 23 juillet 2019 à 02:00

LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations today are "rainbow-branded capitalism": instead of liberation, they demand for queers the same strictures that most straights suffer under.

Wang_Quanzhang'S_Trial

mardi 23 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Chinese human rights defender Wang Quanzhang has been in prison four years. Just recently he had "trial" which sentenced him to four more years in prison.

His wife was just allowed to see him for the first time since he was grabbed, and says he is falling apart as a result of brainwashing conditions.

The US does not generally imprison prominent human rights lawyers, but it persecutes journalists and their sources.

I don't know of any government that comes even close to respecting human rights.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is hunger striking in prison on Iran. Her husband is hunger striking in support of her outside the Iranian embassy in London.

EU_Resists_One_Party_States

mardi 23 juillet 2019 à 02:00

The EU is starting to resist authoritarian national governments that try to set up one-party states.

I hope this is not too late.
