Facebook censorship

jeudi 25 mai 2017 à 02:00

Facebook deleted posts that presented evidence of individuals' use of shell companies, evidence coming from the Panama Papers.

This resembles Amazon, which famously shut down Wikileaks' virtual server because Wikileaks didn't have US government authorization to publish leaks.

Tories to hit the middle class

jeudi 25 mai 2017 à 02:00

Since the Tories can't squeeze much more money out of the poor, they have announced plans to hit the middle class, especially old people and ill people that can't live on their own.

I suppose they will continue hurting the poor more anyway.

Delta wants to use face recognition for checking luggage.

I'm afraid that in a couple of years they will force this on everyone.

Children need to play on their own

Children need to play on their own. Not playing is bad for their health.

Neighborhood evicted for Rio Olympics

jeudi 25 mai 2017 à 02:00

A whole neighborhood was evicted for the Rio Olympics, and many of the inhabitants are left without a community even though they have more valuable houses.

I don't think the Olympic games will be held very much in free countries any more. The people know what a swindle the games are and will campaign to keep them away. The games will be held in tyrannical countries like China, where the people can't resist.

This raises the question of whether to hold Olympic games any more. Typically each sport has an annual championship. Those are held at different times of year, and they don't put a burden on the cities where they are held. They also don't provide an opportunity for big profits for a few businesses — and that is good.
