Environmental destruction of gold mines in the Amazon – The Yanomami are dying of malaria and Covid-19 spread by gold miners

Distruzione dell’estrazione dell’oro nella foresta pluviale amazzonica: l’estrazione dell’oro e l’uso indiscriminato del mercurio per trovare l’oro trasforma parti degli ecosistemi più ricchi di biodiversità del mondo in un paesaggio lunare velenoso e da incubo. Fino al 75% dell’oro estratto ogni anno viene utilizzato in gioielli, orologi e altri status symbol inutili e inutili venduti […]

US Teens Are Being Paid to Spread Disinformation on Social Media – Slashdot

“Teenagers, some of them minors, are being paid to pump out the messages…” The campaign draws on the spam-like behavior of bots and trolls, with the same or similar language posted repeatedly across social media. But it is carried out, at least in part, by humans paid to use their own accounts, though nowhere disclosing their relationship with Turning Point Action or the digital firm brought in to oversee the day-to-day activity. One user included a link to Turning Point USA’s website in his Twitter profile until The Washington Post began asking questions about the activity. In response to questions from The Post, Twitter on Tuesday suspended at least 20 accounts involved in the activity for “platform manipulation and spam.” Facebook also removed a number of accounts as part of what the company said is an ongoing investigation…

  • Creation of a new office of Executive Presidency and granting to the holder to that office unfettered and unchecked powers over the Cabinet, the legislature, the judiciary, the political system and society.

  • Assigning and securing to one ruling family the monopoly of political power in Sri Lanka.

Multiple debacles, rebellions and reverses have even some of those who were once Boris Johnson’s most fervent cheerleaders in despair. This persistent blundering has flowed from a fundamental inability to read the public mood or get on top of events. Throughout the coronavirus crisis, the government has been constantly behind the curve. How did Mr Cummings put it? “We bumble along making the same sort of errors repeatedly.”

They are no better in their specialist subject of Brexit. When Mr Johnson signed the withdrawal agreement with the EU that he sold to the British public as “fantastic”, he failed to foresee that he would soon afterwards describe the agreement as so dreadful that he would have to threaten to break it. When he made the declaration that he was ready to violate international law, he failed to foresee that this would trigger condemnation from every living former prime minister and many senior Brexiters.

Hackers leak data on 1,000 Belarusian police officers

“As the arrests continue, we will continue to publish data on a massive scale,” said a statement distributed by the opposition news channel Nexta Live on the messaging app Telegram. “No one will remain anonymous, even under a balaclava.”

Security forces will not remain anonymous, anti-Lukashenko protesters say

“As the arrests continue, we will continue to publish data on a massive scale,” said a statement distributed by the opposition news channel Nexta Live on the messaging app Telegram. “No one will remain anonymous, even under a balaclava.”
