WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with Facebook or stop using the app

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/01/whatsapp-users-must-share-their-data-with-facebook-or-stop-using-the-app/

In 2016, WhatsApp gave users a one-time ability to opt out of having account data turned over to Facebook. Now, an updated privacy policy is changing that. Come next month, users will no longer have that choice.

Et en français :

WhatsApp pourrait fermer votre compte si vous refusez de partager vos données avec Facebook

For people that think this Is funny realize this;

The mass population Is being brainwashed

Democracy Is dying.

This Isn't over when Trump leaves, Trump gave the next fascist the groundwork to overthrow democracy and bring In a fascist dictatorship.

Trump was nothing but a trial run

Pence being pressured to remove Trump from office, as being unfit to govern, under the 25th amendment.

It’s a good idea before Trump’s two weeks is up, because it _should_ mean, in principle, he won’t be re-elected again, and he has shown interest to run in 2024. But at the very least it’s a further major blow to Trump and his deplorable stint as a world leader, to say nothing of a lousy US president.

A life-long privileged, belligerent loser is all Trump has ever been.

Wipeout 2097 (aka Wipeout XL) had a pretty awesome soundtrack. It's amazing to think the game is almost 25 years old

#GitHub has a serious case of 'create a problem only to be able to write a grandiose blog post about how we saved all developers from the problem we created'.

Now they've taken down a repo because it had an Iranian contributor & they were supposedly so scared of the U.S. sanctions (which amount to a medieval siege btw) imposed on #Iran and the possible penalties for them were they they to leave the repo up, only to publish a grand blog post about how they unblocked all of GitHub for Iranians.

People are absolutely SLEEPING on Discrete Log Contracts and how much utility they'll bring to Bitcoin. Scalable and private smart contracts with minimal onchain footprints.

They are going to be MASSIVE and they'll be here sooner than most think.
