Journalist or extremist

mercredi 2 mai 2018 à 02:00

Michael Segalov: "A free press? I’m a UK journalist, but the police labelled me an extremist."

"Witness statements from the officers cite my time as a student campaigner as a reason to bar me: a time when I was elected as a student union officer and was voted on to the National Union of Students’ national executive council...."

"The other reason cited for labelling me as an “extreme leftwing” activist is my journalism."

I wonder why the Labour Party couldn't or didn't decide to admit Segalov to their event, regardless of the thugs. Does anyone know why?

Glyphosate in food

mercredi 2 mai 2018 à 02:00

The FDA has found glyphosate in almost all the foods it has tested, but has not published anything about this.

The patented gene that makes some crops resistant to glyphosate might not directly harm people, but it brings glyphosate.

Criticism of Malaysian thugs

mercredi 2 mai 2018 à 02:00

Someone who made an inaccurate criticism of Malaysian thugs has been sentenced to a month in prison.

He had exaggerated the statement out of anger, and apologized for the error. It seems he did not intentionally lie.

False statements are unfortunate, but criminalizing them is much worse.

AI-driven gambling

mercredi 2 mai 2018 à 02:00

Gambling companies use AI-driven manipulative techniques, based on each gambler's past history, to keep them hooked.

This demonstrates that consent must not be considered sufficient justification to record personal data.

Indefinite imprisonment

mercredi 2 mai 2018 à 02:00

The bully wants to send PISSI soldiers (or those accused of being such) to Guantanamo, but if this occurs, they could legally challenge whether Congress ever authorized US participation in fighting PISSI.

Indefinite imprisonment, which is what the US does in the Guantanamo prison, is a blot on the honor of the United States. Americans, if you love our country as I do, join me in insisting that this end.
