Meta Pixel onsite: UK police
The London thug department gave
crime victims'
personal data to Facebook. They did this by putting a Facebook
tracking pixel in a page for
"securely and confidentially"
reporting crimes including rape.
In general you cannot trust a web site that says the data you enter is
"secure". That could change if and when creating a tracking pixel
and putting one into a web site are both criminal offences.
*[Big US] tax prep companies shared
private taxpayer data with Google
and Meta
for years, congressional probe finds.* This too was done using tracking pixels.
Please
avoid using the term "sharing"
to refer to snooping on people and sending their personal data to a company.

Greenwood district of Tulsa, OK
The Greenwood district of Tulsa recovered after the Tulsa race massacre,
but was destroyed again by building an interstate highway through it.
Now there is a plan to let Greenwood recover again by removing the highway.
There may be a lot of practical opposition to removing the highway
which is not based on racism. Does a renewed Greenwood necessarily
have to be in the same place?

Freedom to Vote Act
The Freedom to Vote Act would prohibit states from rigging elections
using voter suppression, gerrymandering and election sabotage.
It would also help expose secret campaign contributions that billionaires
use to buy influence and set the political agenda.
This is important, and if we cannot pass it now, we can use it to
elect representatives who will do so.

Employees right to sue
California's supreme court ruled that employees of Oober Eats
have
the right to sue that company collectively.
If they sue and win. the company will exploit them less.
But the food delivery gig companies
are parasites, on their workers and on the restaurants they deliver food from.
Please join me in never using them.
Meanwhile, it should be illegal for companies to require either their
workers or their customers to agree to mandatory arbitration.
That deck is typically stacked in favor of the company.

Employee exposure as customer service

fire employees who wear masks
to protect themselves.
The company pretended to be acting out of concern for its workers
when it refused to check customers' vaccination status, but its true
level of concern for them is apparent now.

the name is perfect and total hypocrisy.
