Industry lobby group

mardi 2 juillet 2019 à 02:00

The "International Life Sciences Institute" is meant to be mistaken for a research organization. Its real work is infiltrating regulatory bodies to exert influence on behalf of business.

Workplace violence and harassment

mardi 2 juillet 2019 à 02:00

The International Labour Organization has produced a treaty to establish global standards for stopping workplace violence and harassment.

Silicon Valley and fake news

mardi 2 juillet 2019 à 02:00

"By framing deepfakes as a tech problem we allow Silicon Valley to evade responsibility for its symbiotic relationship with fake news."

Imprisonment of minors

mardi 2 juillet 2019 à 02:00

The sadist has made rules that bring about imprisoning minors that cross the border, so they are being kept in primitive, unbearable, disease-inducing conditions. The sadist is using them as political pawns.

The border thugs say they have the necessary supplies to alleviate some of the imprisoned minors' suffering, so apparently the suffering that occurs is what they intend.

We have a president and officials that intentionally practice sadism, carrying out laws that presume at least a modicum of human decency.

reCAPTCHA version 3

mardi 2 juillet 2019 à 02:00

reCAPTCHA version 3 supposedly figures out "are you human?", and Google won't say how, but experiment shows that the main question it uses is "are you logged in on a Google account?"

Anti-trust rules could help deal with this, if they prohibit Google from inviting lots of web sites from making use of a Google account their criterion for letting people log in. Competitors to Google can't possibly test that.

It also penalizes users that browse via Tor. Since I won't trust these companies to know where I am, I won't turn off Tor to use a web site. I simply won't use it.
