Google canceled account over photo sent to a doctor
Google canceled a man's account on seeing he sent a doctor photos of
his baby son' injured genitals.
Despite the publicity, Google has not reinstated his account.
This highlights well-known dangers of automated detection of
possible child sexual abuse images. Beyond that, it also shows that
having humans involved in making the decision is not guaranteed to
correct an erroneous automated detection.
Furthermore, it shows the danger of having various different digital
services provided by a single company, or by companies that have agreed
to work together to kick "offenders" off the services of all of them.
Child sexual abuse is a real problem, but people accused of doing that
are entitled to have a trial before they are punished. We cannot
allow online disservices to implement unofficial punishment without trial.

UK long Covid
Statistics on long Covid in the UK. 400,000 people still have it two years
after their acute infection.
I wonder how many people in the UK had been infected, by that point in time.

Canadian PISSI spy
A Canadian spy inside PISSI helped Shamima Begum and two other British
girls get to Syria to join PISSI.
The British government reportedly decided to cover this up as a favor
to Canada.
The fact that the girls received assistance from a surprising source
does not reduce the gravity of the crime they had already gone to great
lengths to commit. However, aiding volunteers for PISSI rather than
stopping them made the British and Canadian governments partially responsible
for their arrival in Syria and participation in PISSI.
To punish Shamima Begum for that crime may well be justified,
but exiling a citizen is not a legitimate punishment even as a sentence.
To do it as an administrative decision is punishment without trial,
and that is never acceptable.
