Yes! It’s just automated posts but at least they keep it running. I sometimes repost some news from there to try to show them that there’s someone looking at it haha.

That would be the Sinaloa Cartel (CDS -> Cártel De Sinaloa).

Sam from Wendover did a very good job explaining why Congestion Pricing is the best solution to address this particular problem, including arguments on why this is not a regressive tax when you analyze it closely.

Does anybody know if it’s possible for individuals to file complaints against Meta or other services that use pay or okay models? I know that some non-profits have successfully done it, but I wonder if people could do it to as a way to pressure regulators even more.

Yes, the nuance is that Facebook must offer an alternative that does not use personal data, even if it means losing some of the features compared to when you pay (either with money or authorizing them to sell your data).

China: “Remove all VPNs” Apple: “Sure thing”

China: “…and podcast apps” Apple: “Can do boss!”

China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens” Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

An internal memo from the Prime Minister was leaked in which she asks cabinet members to stop using mainstream messaging apps and use Olvid (an app developped by a French startup) instead.
