Evidence from surveillance

Section 702 massive surveillance gives the FBI tons of evidence to go fishing for excuses to prosecute US citizens.

Six other ways that massive personal data harms society.

Imprisoning hospital patients

lundi 11 décembre 2017 à 01:00

African hospitals often imprison patients that can't pay their bills. Many of them are women that came to give birth.

Aside from the injustice of what the hospitals do, we should notice that parents who can't pay for hospital care for the birth surely also can't pay to raise a child properly. It is irresponsible for them to have children.

WTO participants

lundi 11 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Argentina claims that deportation of journalists and activists who were authorized to participate in the WTO is for the sake of "security".

I must wonder what sort of "security" issue this concerns. Securing ever-tightening plutocratic control over the whole world, perhaps?

I Was Banned From The WTO [based on lies] For Defending People’s Rights.

The WTO must be eliminated, because of the power that it gives to the plutocrats over supposedly-democratic states.

Scientific journals

Even reputable, and partly reputable, scientific journals accept some articles that are glaring pseudoscience.

A journal that accepts 90% of the offered papers, and is willing to retract one, is not in the lowest category. The truly predatory journals accept around 100% of the articles offered to them, and I doubt they ever think about retracting one.
