Their funding has enabled us and many other FLOSS projects to develop and maintain great software, from which everybody benefits.

However, their own funding is probably cut next year, which would have a big negative impact to FLOSS projects"

Group of 91 nations agree to continue not taxing cross-border data movement – for now

Promote free use of government data, privacy, canning spam, and more

The filing also alleges that TikTok tools allow for "triggering of the suppression of content on the platform based on the user's use of certain words. Although this tool contained certain policies that only applied to users based in China, others such policies may have been used to apply to TikTok users outside of China."

The filing contains details that suggest Oracle may have been better off not getting the gig as TikTok's stateside host

Those tools allowed collection of "bulk user information based on the user's content or expressions, including views on gun control, abortion, and religion." The results could be viewed in China.

DoJ alleges "significant amounts of restricted US user data (including but not limited to personally identifiable information)" was shared over Lark"

It gets worse: the filing claims "Lark contained multiple internal search tools that had been developed and run by China-based ByteDance engineers for scraping TikTok user data, including US user data."

US claims TikTok shipped personal data to China – very personal data

Department's views emerged in a filing from the US government in response to attempts by TikTok and its parent company ByteDance to strike down laws that force a sale of the platform's stateside operations – and closure if that can't be arranged.

@mims @corlin @Kinnison ik why there was almost media blackout in UK about Yemen

UK were supplying Sudia Arabia with weapons and still are and UAE are behind what's happening in Sudan right now

counter.social/@ecksmc/1012403

And US mercenaries were used by UAE to kill people on a kill list

Always a reason behind why things get so much publicity and why things don't

@corlin @Kinnison yup

You have to dig deep and look at each reporter and who they are..... Who they actually are

For one mostly all the Guardian journalists covering Israel war daily are also questionable and all the rest of media outlets you see a pattern after a while

Its pure hate mostly

@corlin @Kinnison other conflicts?

Media mostly stay silent with some reporting of it but nothing like Gaza and outrage aimed at Israel so ask yourself why is that?

Only one reason

Look at what happened in Yemen for years 900.000 + killed no outrage and shouting about genocide and kids starving ?

war in Sudan has become one of the worst ongoing humanitarian crises in the world

Yet silence from the bleeding hearts here and other SM sites - media manipulation it is

Rachel Reeves wants everyone to know that the Tories left the Treasury brassic

Brassic: adjective. Slang. Penniless, 'skint'.

the necessity of loading the blame on the Tories, at the start of a Labour government.

another reason for this is to instil some discipline amongst Labour MPs who are inclined to shout about their favourite spending plans. Spending will be done within a budget, not because somebody is shouting about it.

@ReneeVoiceBrand oh the military complex would favour this

They'd make money from it as people would resist the "new order" chaos could happen - civil wars, wars, to bring people in line - sounds very extreme I know and highly unlikely - but makes you think what if?

What if these people do get people into positions to push hard their world agenda - its a dangerous game and why ALL politicians should be transparent people should know who backs them and what agendas they believe

we should, Musk thinks, be guided by “wiser” minds — like his and Putin’s apparently & the PayPal Mafia are all aligned - all of these people have the same agenda

From a while back
