Bernie Sanders for national medical system

mardi 23 mai 2023 à 11:02

Bernie Sanders calls for a national medical system, and makes it clear that the name "Medicare for All" does not mean preserving the flaws of Medicare as it is today.

Jeremy Corbyn as Labour MP

mardi 23 mai 2023 à 11:02

*Jeremy Corbyn tells local Labour party he wants to carry on as their MP.* The local party members stated support for him with only one abstention, and stated their opposition to Starmer's grip on who can run for MP for the Labour Party.

Cameras at Olympic games in France

mardi 23 mai 2023 à 11:02

France has decided to use cameras at the Olympic games with software that will scan the images looking for "suspicious activities".

We can't count on the software in the system to limit the effective level of surveillance, because more analytical capability could be added later. The only limiting factor that people can count on to prevent violation of their privacy is the capability of the hardware sensors (cameras, in this case). As people pointed out, that capability might be sufficient to enable the system to recognize and track people.

The US Supreme Court made a couple of correct decisions that companies do not have an obligation to delete all postings that might be suspected of possibly relating to terrorist plans.

I am disappointed by use of "content" to refer collectively to anything posted on Twitter, because that term disparages whatever is described that way.
