You can't make this up: The Washington Post, which is owned by mega-oligarch Jeff Bezos (who has $130 BILLION in wealth) published an oped calling for elites to have an even "bigger say in choosing the president"
They already control basically everything!

#Brexit working as intended I guess: 'Google is planning to move its British users’ accounts out of the control of EU privacy regulators, placing them under U.S. jurisdiction instead. The shift, prompted by Britain’s exit from the EU, will leave the sensitive personal information of tens of millions with less protection & within easier reach of British law enforcement.'

Wow, I thought it was Thursday, good 😁
@snder I wonder, do you use relays for your mastodons?
I've been called by the BIPT department responsible, and they explained to me there are 2 types of licenses,
- A personal call type (5y valid)
- 3 station type licenses (1y valid)
So I've gotten the station type renewal.
The station licenses are for the equipment: Portable, Mobile, Home
If you have a 2nd home, you need to get an extra station license...

Here is some good #privacy news: the Eu Advocate General has concluded national mass retention laws in the EU are illegal. Countries can not demand that internet providers just keep massive amounts of personal data because it might be useful some day.

Well, the #corona virus is already starting to influence business, lots of Chinese exports came to a halt for at least the next 2 weeks :/
