I guess anything related to Cambridge Analytica should do. Mine shut up after mumbling something like "we believe we helped our customers" and never came back.

I managed to get blackballed by Google HR by asking them when they will apologize to James Damore, so they no longer bother me. But now Facebook recruitment team is basically out of control. Is there something sensitive in FB culture that acceptable people cannot bring up, I wonder?

This article claims the US #census was breached - 200 million people compromized. The date of the article was 2020-03-20. Isn't that too soon to have collected the data? https://www.techradar.com/news/major-data-breach-exposes-database-of-200-million-users Perhaps it's from the 2010 census.

Comparing FOSS to Soviet system is quite ridiculous - the former is based on openness, transparency, freedom and voluntary attendance.
We in the Eastern Bloc couldn't even freely leave our country, had no freedom of speech (other than in your own kitchen, and then you had to be careful who's listening), jobs were assigned, you had to register wherever you stayed, everything including topographic maps or news about accidents or protests was secret and censored.

UK Supreme Court says Uber drivers are not independent contractors
"The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has ruled that Uber drivers are legally workers, not self-employed contractors as Uber has argued in courts around the world. The ruling means that drivers in Britain and Northern Ireland are eligible for additional benefits and protections, including a minimum wage."

You're talking to someone with identical life experiences, who also saw the whole demise and demoralisation of the Soviet ideology from inside, to the extent when became an empty shell, full of hypocrisy and instrument of enslavement.
It's Friday so I though I will bring back this 6 years classic trippy masterpiece

In case of Lenin that was truly obsession of "control and accounting", where all levels of socialist society mutually control each other. First described in "How to organize competition" (1917) https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/dec/25.htm That was an interesting twist in many aspects, as he opposed "capitalist competition" to "socialist emulation" which was expected to be voluntary, but in the Soviet reality it was anything but that.
A small correction to overall very good article: the origins of the Russian phrase are not "obscure", as the Wikipedia article explains. It originated from Lenin - the earliest form was "control and accountability are the base of trust" in one of his articles. If anything, it expressed levels of paranoia and lack of trust unimaginable in any Western society, which plague all Eastern Europe till today.

Trust no-one: why ‘proof of work’ is killing the planet as well as us
@galaxis Thanks, sounds very promising!
Can you recommend any cloud-based software for #OSINT where a group of people can 1) collect evidence (PDF, images), 2) write text with links etc, 3) graph timelines and organisational relationships?
There's Cryptpad, but it can't store easily files. There's NextCloud but you can't draw stuff (to my knowledge). The last one is probably only in Maltego which is $$$

Another deception is quoting how much electricity is used, but not the fossil fuels burned to produce it. Or 'biomass', which is often pure timber.
