Private Data/Public Regulation
Policing increasingly relies on the collection of digital data, often of people for whom there is no basis for suspicion. Police seek fewer search warrants and more requests to harvest metadata, they buy data from brokers, they track location and other aspects of our lives. Sometimes police collect the data themselves. More often they gather it from third parties. They do so by purchase, and by court order. The benefits of this approach are uncertain, but placing this much personal data in the hands of the government has its costs. It endangers our personal security, and our sense ... read more

The BBC goes too far in point-scoring in drama even for 'The New Statesman'
I don't watch many [i.e. *any*] BBC dramas these days but heard Radio 4's *Sunday* plugging BBC One's *Ridley Road* yesterday. The *Sunday* interview about Jewish people standing up to fight fascism in the UK in and around the 1960s was interesting but left a lot of questions unanswered, including how big a threat the far-right actually was back then. And on hearing the segment I suspected that the BBC would draw modern parallels, and that those parallels wouldn't even hint at Corbynite Labour / Muslim antisemitism. I see from the *New Statesman* that my suspicions of present day... read more
The Biden welcome mat--for foreigners, not Americans
And many more are coming. Caravans. Leftist NGOs supplying transportation, food, water, clothing, diapers. "Y'all come," says Biden. We'll just bus you around the nation or wherever you want to go. Americans don't want to work because of Biden's generous stay at home policies. Now he has to find those who are willing and eager to work. Who knows, employers may be exempt from all those pesky vaccination laws if there are no documents. Americans also don't want to have babies--can't even figure out their own gender!

Ivorian Cocoa Farmers Are Beating a System To Reduce Child Labour: Here's How
Oct 04 (IPS) - The evidence of child labour on cocoa farms in West Africa became public knowledge in the late 1990s.
