    Adobe Inc boundaries

    Adobe corrected some misconceptions that were suggested by loose wording in its newly imposed requirement that users give Adobe permission to snoop on their work. Adobe agreed not to publish their work (Please don't call anyone's artwork "content"!), and won't train machine learning models with it. (Please don't call them "artificial intelligence"!)

    But it does indeed intend to snoop, having effectively forced users to give permission for that.

    This is a big step towards a society of total surveillance, in which privacy and the US fourth amendment are reduced to fragmentary relics.

    Amy Pritchard fuel-rebel climate-keeper

    *Amy Pritchard is the first person to be jailed for a campaign in which climate protesters targeted banks across London.* She explains her decision to break windows at the office of JP Morgan.

    11:20a
    No-fault divorce as next target

    *Republicans want to make it harder to get a divorce in the US.*

    That fits into the general plan to impose their religion, and its sexual prudery, on everyone. We must defeat them.

    Urgent: Turning away asylum seekers

    US citizens: call on Biden not to imitate the bully's asylum restrictions.

    11:20a
    SWE trades IRN assassin for "spy"

    Sweden ransomed Johan Floderus, who had been imprisoned in Iran based on political accusations, by releasing Iranian convict Hamid Noury, who was convicted of participating in the killing of over a hundred political prisoners of Iran.

    One must suspect that the accusations against Floderus were fabricated specifically to use him for this trade. Governments should tell their officials to refuse to visit countries that might be seeking pawns to capture and trade.

    11:20a
    Tory and Labour parties' popular decline

    *Tories and Labour on course for lowest [combined] share of the vote since 1945.*

    It looks like a lot of people don't want to vote for plutocratists.

    11:20a
    Main parties' NHS-austerity plans, UK

    *Labour and Tories would both leave NHS worse off than under [previous] austerity, says thinktank.*

    11:20a
    The gangster's political revenge wish

    *Former White House staffer says [she heard the wrecker] call for leaker to be executed.*
