@hhardy01 These are normal situantion here on Brazil, and the people who have some financial condition, which are not many anymore, are stuck in the dogmas of the evangelical churches or think that everyone who lives in the slums(favela) are bandits.
And our politicians are busy planning how to steal money with gas scams....
....they say that they filled a tank of gasoline of their car with 1000 L, or went in one day more than 300 times to fill the tank.

Big Tech is seeding watered-down “privacy” legislation in states. 14 of 20 proposed state privacy bills were built upon the same framework as a Microsoft and Amazon-supported bill in Virginia—or were even weaker, reports @toddfeathers in @themarkup https://themarkup.org/privacy/2021/04/15/big-tech-is-pushing-states-to-pass-privacy-laws-and-yes-you-should-be-suspicious

Went into *two* restaurant+bars recently & was told "we have no paper menus due to COVID; use your phone to get the web menu". It's disturbing that a B&M business just assumes everyone has a smartphone & they're willing to marginalize those who do not. One of the bars outsourced to a site that outsourced to #Cloudflare so the online menu discriminated further against Tor users.

Journalist @johnpilger@twitter.com has a long track record of speaking truth to power. And as a former guest editor of New Internationalist, here's what he had to say about why you should join our 3600 co-owners, and help #SaveOurStories:

Oh yeah, use the robot dog to police public housing. O brave new world, That has such creatures in it!

"N.Y.P.D.’s Robot Dog Returns to Work, Touching Off a Backlash
Deployed at a public housing building, the device drew condemnation as a stark example of police power and misplaced priorities."

""People's Choice Communications is an employee-owned social enterprise launched by members of IBEW Local #3 to bridge the digital divide and help our neighbors get connected to the Internet during the COVID-19 pandemic," the ISP's website says. (...) "After we build out a network in your building, it transfers to cooperative ownership, so profits are returned to users," the People's Choice website says. "We are able to provide high-speed service in most cases for $10-$20/month. No more cable company ripping you off, and as an owner, you have a vote in policies like data privacy."

Please, tell me again how we need capitalists to "create jobs" and "innovate" lest we all starve to death. Entertain me.

Did your data get breached by Facebook in its vast, ghastly, 500,000,000 person valdez? The lovely folks at Digital Rights Ireland are suing Facebook under the GDPR for money damages and they'd like to sign you up to be part of the lawsuit.

You're eligible if you live in the EU and your data was leaked. And, thanks to the GDPR, your participation in the legal action could result in Facebook being on the hook for real cash damages.
