Apple fighting UK government
Apple is fighting
a lawsuit by the UK government which demands that
Apple add a back door to examine whatever users store in Apple's
encrypted storage servers.
Does anyone with a UK legal background know how this case compares to
the case of a laptop with GPG loaded on it? If there is a legal
difference between that case and the case of the iThing, can you
explain what that difference is?

Thugs attacked demonstrators who were retired people
*More than 1,000 riot [thugs]
used teargas, rubber[-coated steel]
bullets and water cannons [plus clubs]
to
[attack] demonstrators [who
were retired people] late on Wednesday.*
The aged protesters were protesting the right-wing extremist's cuts
to their medicines.
Their signs saying things like "Don't hit us, we are your parents"
did not restrain the thugs
from going wild with violence.
That is the spirit that right-wing extremism builds up and looses against
its scapegoats.

Miami Beach trying to evict cinema
Miami Beach is trying to
evict
an independent cinema for showing the
Oscar-winning documentary, No Other Land, which documents expulsion of
Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank. The film was made by
Palestinians and Israelis working together.
This documentary has faced powerful censorship in the US.
Based on what I have read, it would not surprise me if the film
contains some antisemitic statements that I would disapprove of. I
expect that it shows violent crimes committed against Palestinians by
fanatical Israeli "settlers"; but I don't know that for certain. I
disapprove of both of those kinds of things, but violent crimes of
bigotry are much worse than verbal expressions of bigotry. I don't
know enough to say more than that about the film.
I can, however, condemn the repression that aims to prevent showing
the film.

"Ethics waiver" to advisor of "AI" and cryptocurrency
The corrupter
gave his special advisor for so-called AI and
cryptocurrency an
"ethics
waiver", meaning he is permitted to give
advice on questions that directly affect his own business interests.
Since the corrupter/bully
disregards ethics in favor of crude power,
he wants advisors who do the same.

Young people who condemn democracy
Why do young people who
condemn
democracy for its flaws, and would
prefer autarchy, not understand how bad that is?

Brain damage in seabirds
*Plastic pollution leaves seabirds with
brain
damage similar to Alzheimer's.*
This doesn't prove it harms humans too, but it makes that seem likely.
