Poland threatens hefty fines for social media companies that censor legal speech, users everywhere celebrate
21 Dec, 2020 17:49
Social media companies that remove posts whose content is legal can be fined up to €1.8 million under a new Polish bill. Users have welcomed its introduction as an antidote to other countries’ growing censorship demands.
Any social media company that removes content or blocks accounts that do not violate Polish law can be fined under the new legislation, announced in a press conference on Thursday by Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro. The bill also creates a special Court for the Protection of Freedom of Speech within one of the district courts.
Individuals whose posts have been censored will have the right to complain to the platform in question, which has 24 hours to respond. The user then has 48 hours to petition the new court to have their content reinstated, and the court then has seven days to consider the petition.
If the court finds in favor of the user and the social media platform does not restore the content or unblock the account, they will be fined up to €1.8 million by the Office of Electronic Communications. The whole process will happen online, according to Ziobro.
The victims of “ideological censorship” are unfairly quashed by social media platforms “just because they express views and refer to values that are unacceptable from the point of view of communities…with an ever-stronger influence on the functioning of social media,” the justice minister said.
Secretary of State Sebastian Kaleta said this solution represents a significant improvement over attempts by countries such as France and Germany to handle such problems, noting that their efforts are “primarily repressive” and focus on the quick removal of content rather than protecting free expression.
A government press release specifically cited the European Commission’s Digital Service Act – a sprawling EU-wide piece of legislation which also “focus[es] on removing prohibited content” – as one of the motivating factors behind Warsaw’s rollout of the new protections for online speech.
“Poland wants to adopt its own regulations, effectively defending the constitutional right to freedom of expression, so that in the event of a dispute…the courts will decide on a possible violation of the law,” it said.
Social media users far outside Poland were thrilled by the legislation.

No reason to worry? WHO says new Covid-19 strain found in UK is no deadlier & only slightly more infectious than others
21 Dec, 2020 22:50
The World Health Organization has come forward to calm things down amid the anxiety over a new potentially ‘highly infectious’ Covid-19 strain found in the UK, saying it is not that different from other coronavirus strains.
“There is zero evidence that the new coronavirus variant increases severity of the disease,” the WHO’s Health Emergencies Program Chief Mike Ryan told at a press conference on Monday, citing data received from British scientists.
The risks faced by the people that catch this particular strain of the virus are pretty much the same as odds faced by other people suffering from Covid-19. According to the WHO, it is neither more aggressive, nor any deadlier than the other strains.

wrong
shill
Colonel Wilkerson is projecting.
He should be the one called back to active duty
and prosecuted under the uniform code of military justice
Background
Lawrence Wilkerson's last positions in government were as Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff (2002-05), Associate Director of the State Department's Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Richard N. Haass, and member of that staff responsible for East Asia and the Pacific, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02). Before serving at the State Department, Wilkerson served 31 years in the U.S. Army. During that time, he was a member of the faculty of the U.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989), Special Assistant to General Powell when he was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-93), and Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Marine Corps War College at Quantico, Virginia (1993-97). Wilkerson retired from active service in 1997 as a colonel, and began work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national security affairs in the Honors Program at the George Washington University. He is currently working on a book about the first George W. Bush administration.
Richard N. Haass
Richard Nathan Haass is an American diplomat. He has been president of the Council on Foreign Relations since July 2003,prior to which he was Director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State and a close advisor to Secretary of State Colin Powell.Wikipedia

This is what the EU did. It's pretty a comprehensive explanation.
(Headline) The E.U. votes to make memes essentially illegal
Paris MartineauJUN—21—2018 01:53PM EST
On Wednesday, European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs voted to essentially make memes illegal. The decision came as part of the approval process for the innocuously named “Article 13,” which would require larger sites to scan all user uploads using content recognition technology in an attempt to flag any and all remotely copyrighted material in photos, text, music, videos, and more. Meaning memes using stills from copyrighted films could be auto-blocked, along with remixes of viral videos, and basically anything that’s popular on live-streaming sites like Twitch.
Article 13 also names code as an obvious genre of copyrighted content, which could cause the open source software community to collapse under immense legal pressure. Any content containing audio, software, or the written word also falls under the article’s purview. “Requiring code-hosting platforms to scan and automatically remove content could drastically impact software developers when their dependencies are removed due to false positives,” wrote Github in a blog on the matter.
Similar content recognition technology is already in play on YouTube, Soundcloud, and Google Drive, which each use automated tools to check user-uploaded content against a host of prohibited files and instantly issue a block or takedown order if a match is made. However, the implementation of Article 13 will likely raise the barrier to entry for smaller organizations and companies, who don’t have the funds to invest in a robust automated filtering system.
The mere existence of Article 13 stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of how both the internet and copyright protections were intended to work. Copyrights were not designed to encase works in a stagnant bubble — only available to those with the money and knowledge to properly gain access to it — but rather to reward innovation and foster healthy competition. The manner by which copyrighted works are typically used online is a prime example of this. Memes, remixes, open source collaborations — could technically infringe upon a copyright in some form or fashion (especially in Europe, which lacks fair use protections), yet rarely in a way that genuinely attracts the ire of the original creator. Moreover, copyright is, generally speaking, broadly interpretable, and certain remixes or format changes require the type of nuanced eye than no automated system could be expected to reasonably apply.
Though Article 13 only applies to Europe, the internet is borderless, so it seems likely that such stringent regulation would have an effect on internet users around the globe. This happened recently with the continent’s General Data Protection Regulation, which also only covers Europe but has a ripple effect worldwide as companies struggle to maintain two sets of standards for managing the data that informs their ads and marketing. Similar to the way GDPR-aided privacy concerns have leaked into American discourse, copyright mania may spread if the measure passes a vote in the wider European Parliament in July. Some European companies and platforms might also choose to turn their data over to American tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon for automated processing rather than develop their own copyright recognition software, and you know how great their track records are when it comes to moderation.
“By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users…” wrote a group of over 70 internet and digital privacy experts in a joint letter to the Parliamentary Committee. “The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”

The Bush Administration Whistleblower Who Says the US Has Not Closed the Door on Torture
In April 2004, Secretary of State Colin Powell strode into the office of his chief of staff, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. Some photographs were about to be released that showed American soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees, Powell said. "How bad are these photographs going to be?" Wilkerson asked. "They're going to be terrible," his boss replied. And, indeed, when the images appeared later that year, the world was shocked by what it saw: detainees being beaten, humiliated, piled up in human pyramids at Abu Ghraib prison.
Powell wanted answers. What had happened, and why? He asked his chief of staff to investigate and come up with a chronology, ''a "tick-tock"– of the horrors. Wilkerson got to work and soon found that the abuses were not one-offs, but part of a much broader pattern. After 9/11, the military and CIA had been given full White House approval to torture terror suspects. Soldiers were abusing prisoners everywhere, Wilkerson learned, in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Guantanamo Bay. At the same time, CIA operatives were kidnapping individuals and flying them to secret dungeons around the world for "enhanced interrogation." In short, the government had launched a global torture program.

The Plame affair(also known as the CIA leak scandal and Plamegate) was a political scandal that revolved around journalist Robert Novak's public identification of Valerie Plame as a covert Central Intelligence Agency officer in 2003.[1][2][3]
In 2002, Plame wrote a memo to her superiors in which she expressed hesitation in recommending her husband, former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson, to the CIA for a mission to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq had arranged to purchase and import uranium from the country, but stated that he "may be in a position to assist".[4] After President George W. Bush stated that "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" during the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Wilson published a July 2003 op-ed in The New York Times stating his doubts during the mission that any such transaction with Iraq had taken place.[5]
A week after Wilson's op-ed was published, Novak published a column which mentioned claims from "two senior administration officials" that Plame had been the one to suggest sending her husband. Novak had learned of Plame's employment, which was classified information, from State Department official Richard Armitage.[2] David Corn and others suggested that Armitage and other officials had leaked the information as political retribution for Wilson's article.
The scandal led to a criminal investigation; no one was charged for the leak itself. Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to investigators. His prison sentence was ultimately commuted by President Bush, and he was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2018.

Hundreds of Cook County Health Care, Sheriff's Office Employees Strike
Hundreds of essential workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic in Cook County hit the picket line for a one-day strike on Tuesday.
SEIU Local 73 - the union representing Cook County health technicians, service and maintenance workers, as well as employees of the clerk’s office and sheriff’s office - said in a statement Friday that its members would be holding a one-day strike, alleging that county officials have "refused to set bargaining dates… and walked out on negotiations" for nearly three months.
“Our members have put their lives on the line to keep Cook County functioning,” SEIU Local 73 President Dian Palmer said. “The complete lack of respect by Toni Preckwinkle and the managers under her supervision is shocking."

Rosa Brooks: “I can give you some names. We're actually in the process of going back to all of our participants and saying, ‘Are you willing to have your name publicly connected to this?’ We had promised everybody, you know, we'll keep your participation confidential if you would like us to. But a lot of people are beginning to say, ‘I'm happy to be publicly connected to it.’
"So they ranged from people like Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, to John Podesta, who has worked for Hillary Clinton, very senior levels, Obama, et cetera. … People like Larry with deep experience, obviously, not only in the military, but Larry also has deep experience at the State Department. … We had former Governor Jennifer Granholm from Michigan. We had Donna Brazile, who is a Democratic consultant. We had Republican political consultants and even a couple of former Republican members of Congress, some of whose names are not yet out there.
“So it was a very varied group. We had people who had worked for members of Congress at senior levels. We had people who had been members of Congress from both parties. We had journalists. We had people like Bill Kristol on the conservative side, as well as people who had worked for big tech companies. So we really were trying as much as we could to assemble a group of people who, If asked to role play, if asked ‘OK pretend you're on the Trump campaign, pretend that you're a Democratic elected official, pretend that you are Facebook or Twitter.’ We wanted people who would have a real life sense of how those actors and organizations likely would behave based on actual experience in those sectors.”

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/apr/23/scorecardresearch-tracking-trackers-cookies-web-monitoring
ScorecardResearch (ComScore): What is it and what does it do?
ScorecardResearch appeared as the third-biggest name in our Tracking the Trackers data. Here we find out as much as we can about what it does.
For an introduction to cookies and web trackers, read our guide.

What is ScorecardResearch?
ScorecardResearch is part of a company called Full Circle Studies, which is owned by comScore.
To put the size of comScore into some context, its factsheet claims it tracks more than three million unique websites worldwide and its methodology page says it has "approximately two million worldwide consumers under continuous measurement".
It provides market research data to website owners through a mixture of online surveys and the use of web beacons.
According to comScore, websites elect to take part in the company's market research. The website owners place ScorecardResearch web beacons into the pages of their website.
When a browser loads a page that contains a ScorecardResearch web beacon, a cookie will be set. This, says comScore, allows it to observe "browser-level" behaviour, i.e. how often you return to a website or if, having visited one website, you go to another one that is related.
The data that is collected is used to build up reports on internet behaviour and trends.
What information is ScoreCard research tracking?
ScorecardResearch's privacy policy says its tracking will collect information such as:
- when your browser visited a website
- what page of the website it was
- the title of the web page
- IP address
If you elect to answer a ScorecardResearch survey, this may also be logged (so you are not shown the same survey again).
Is the data ever matched to personally identifiable information?
As with all cookies and web beacons, ScorecardResearch cannot identify an individual user who is using the computer to visit a website that contains a ScorecardResearch tag.
However, the cookie may be used to observe certain types of browsing behaviours, which are then combined with other browser data to give a picture of what people are likely to do when they surf the web.
What other ways does Scorecard Research track? What information?
ComScore uses web beacons and cookies for other products in a similar way to ScoreCard Research. It's worth noting that comScore has a lot of products and services focused on digital audiences.
How long is the data stored for?
The data obtained through ScorecardResearch cookies is kept for up to 90 days. When it is aggregated to observe trends, it may be used for analytical purposes indefinitely.
If a particular site asks for detailed research about a topic, comScore says "selected anonymous records relating to that specific site may be maintained indefinitely".
What evidence is there that data is deleted?
ScorecardResearch, like many third-party cookie operators, has its privacy policy vetted by TRUSTe.
TRUSTe checks to see if ScorecardResearch does everything it says it does in its privacy policy. If it does, it gets a seal. It does not mean it is following any particular industry standard for privacy (except the one it holds for itself).
A standard it does adhere to is the International Safe Harbor privacy principles.
How is the data used? Is the data sold to third parties?
"The information is analysed and the resulting reports are shared with our clients," says comScore.
These reports aim to help companies understand internet behaviour. Some of the more general ones are presented publicly, such as a report about the effectiveness of pharmaceutical marketing or how popular sports content is in Europe.
Do your cookies circumvent privacy-enhancing software, such as Tor?
No, says comScore.

>>165120 The Relief Bill is an Omnibus, which means POTUS can allocate it where ever he wants.
More from “We The Inevitable” on the omnibus bill, it does seem there’s validity to what he’s saying
What is an “Omnibus Spending Bill” and Why is it Different than What You Think?
Before everyone jumps off the Trump train over the spending bill, there are a few things you should know. Once upon a time, when Congress actually worked together, 12 appropriation bills would be created to fund discretionary spending in the government. The trend became to jam all the items in one big bill called an Omnibus Spending Bill because the various factions of the Congress refused to pass the needed 12 appropriations bills to keep the government running. With Trump’s signature, Congress now has until September 30 to come up with appropriations for a budget. Which they won’t do, and will likely just pass another continuing resolution.
In other words, we have not had an actual “budget” for some time now.
First, there are two different parts to the Federal Budget: Mandatory Spending and Discretionary Spending. Mandatory spending is for programs such as Medicare and Social Security. These are regulated by law and are over and above the appropriations process. Discretionary spending is supposed to be from 12 appropriations bills passed by Congress for things such as the Military, grants, agriculture, etc. The Omnibus Bill signed yesterday is for those programs- the discretionary part of the budget.
Brush Fire Managment
There is a difference between a budget and an Omnibus Spending bill. Congress now uses “continuing resolutions” to fund the government in a piecemeal fashion rather than an actual budget. They do that because they can’t work together and everyone is pushing their own agenda rather than for the good of the United States. They are moving from crisis to crisis rather than having a genuine budget that would reduce the pork.
Let’s view this here:
“The budget and spending process of the United States federal government is a complex one. The United States budget process traditionally begins when the President of the United States submits a budget request to Congress. The Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 requires the President to submit the budget to Congress for each fiscal year, which is the 12-month period beginning on October 1 and ending on September 30 of the next calendar year. The current federal budget law (31 U.S.C. § 1105(a)) requires that the President submit his or her budget request between the first Monday in January and the first Monday in February. However, it is Congress that actually establishes the budget, as the U.S. Constitution (Article I, section 9, clause 7) states that “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.” The President does not sign the final budget. “

More from the article just posted
In Obama’s 2009 Omnibus Bill, there were 8,500 earmarks. Call that pork barrel politics, if you like. But enough heat was generated over it that Obama promised to do something about the “pork.” He didn’t, by the way. As long as the use of Omnibus Spending Bills is in play, special interest spending will continue.
Does the President have “discretionary” power over the funds in the Omnibus Bill? Yes
Presidents can use their INFLUENCE over any items that have been appropriated, depending on the agencies involved. Obama used his to influence spending in agencies that were advancing his agenda. In short, there is little information to tell us how appropriated money is actually spent. But there are still some rules.
Duke U noted,
“Nevertheless, while it is up to Congress to appropriate funds, it is also true that the President and the executive branch enjoy considerable discretion as to how those funds are spent. Existing studies tell us how the President formulates the budget and how Congress acts on the budget requests he submits. Surprisingly, we know relatively little about how the money, once appropriated, is actually spent.”
Example of limitations: Funds cannot be transferred from one account to another. According to Vanderbilt, “Some agencies, such as the Department of Defense, have limited authority to transfer a percentage of funds among their accounts (Tollestrup 2014, 13). Such authority usually comes with the requirement that the agency notify the appropriate committees in Congress when they do so.”
Moving money WITHIN an account is not as “observable” because the actual total of money remains the same. Funds can also be “deferred” or spent at another time. Congress can “rescind” funds by legislative action as well (which means that they actually CAN withhold monies from Sanctuary cities).
The Office of Management and Budget has control over apportioning the funds to the specific agencies. There are a lot of gray areas that Presidents and even Congress can use to influence spending, but there is also a lot of paperwork required.
“These decisions are an omnipresent component of agency management across presidential administrations. What managers do with the spending discretion inherent in the executive function is structured by their understanding of the law, their beliefs about the continuing wishes of committees, and their views about what is best for their organization and policy. The bulk of what happens with spending is not reviewed by congressional committees or staffs. Voluminous reporting requirements and the annual appropriations process provide committees regular opportunities to learn about agency choices if they choose to but managing the details of spending is difficult.”
Lump Sum Appropriations
From the beginnings of American history, lump sum appropriations have been a source of contention. Jeffersonian Republicans wanted legal restraints, while the Federalists wanted Executive discretion. They soon realized the making too many laws over the funding of specific appropriations was going to produce a quagmire of miniscule laws that would hamstring the government from working at all.
So we have today a mix of both: mandatory spending and discretionary spending. So does the President have the ability to use the funds as he chooses? Yes, to a point. President Trump was not happy with the Omnibus Spending Bill of 2018, and voiced his displeasure up until he actually signed it at the last minute. He can’t take money from the Jordan Wall, for example to make his own wall, depending on where those monies are appropriated. But within the budget there are likely places where he can adjust the way the monies are spent.
All of that depends on what happens on September 30, and whether Congress is able to actually pass a real “budget.” Not holding our breath on that one.

More Details on How Georgia Reported Different Numbers of Absentee Ballots for Days After the Election
Ultimately Adding Thousands of Ballots to Ensure the Biden Steal
The state reported different numbers of absentee ballots for days after the election and ultimately added thousands of ballots to ensure the Biden win.
A review of Georgia results from the 2020 election indicates more corruption than reported to date in the the Peach State.
On election night at 7:20 pm, Ralph Jones (of pull the Biden ballots out from under the table fame) reports a total of 130,517 absentee ballots received with 86,191 counted. That would leave 44,326 absentee ballots remaining to count plus any other ballots received on 11/3. Although, note that when Jones reports his totals it is past the cut-off time to legally accept any new absentee ballots and one would assume they had been collecting ballots from drop off boxes and the mail room throughout the day.
The Secretary of State’s website reported 146,994 total absentee ballots received. That equals 16,477 additional ballots were received sometime late on election day and should never have been counted.
At a rate of 3,000 ballots processed per hour times five machines at the State Farm Center, 15,000 ballots could have been processed per hour. Ralph Jones said there were only 44,326 ballots remaining to count on election night. At a rate of 15,000 per hour, that should have taken three hours to complete. But instead this went on for days!
On the next day at 1:25 pm, Jessica Corbitt, the Public Information Officer for Fulton County, reported that Fulton had counted 74,000 absentee ballots which is 12,191 less ballots than Jones had reported the previous evening?
Corbitt also reported that 67,000 ballots were remaining to be counted. This is 22,674 more ballots left to count than was reported by Jones the night before. The ballots all should have been counted by this time if workers were counting ballots from the night before. They only needed an estimated three hours after Ralph Jones reported ballots left but they were still counting mid-day on November 4th.
Assuming Corbitt’s 74,000 number of absentee ballots counted is accurate, 74,000 + 67,000 ballots remaining to be counted equals 141,000 absentee ballots which of course doesn’t match either Jones’s totals of 130,517 or the Secretary of State’s number reported of 146,994.
Sometime shortly after midnight on November 5th, hours later, the AJC reports Barron as saying there were 128,000 total absentee ballots and that 96% had been adjudicated (122,880) . This of course doesn’t make sense because Jones had reported 130,517 on 11/3 at 7:20 pm and Corbitt had reported 141,000 at 1:25 pm on 11/4. The SOS final reported 146,994. There were four different amounts of total absentee ballots reported in two days, 128,000, 130,517, 141,000 and 146,994!
At 4:30 am on 11/5, Barron stated there are 10,000 absentee ballots remaining to be counted.
At 7:27 am on 11/5, Barron stated there are approximately 140,000 total absentee ballots. Seven hours earlier, he had said there were 128,000.

"Cortes: If Biden Were Sure Of His “Victory”, He’d Welcome Transparency."
…."As with the voter data issues, if Biden wants to assume this hallowed office with a clean slate, then he must quickly welcome the oversight of a special counsel to fully vet these critical issues. Biden simply must explain who the “big guy” is and why the Chinese regime poured fortunes into the bank accounts of his family members and close associates. Unless Biden encourages and cooperates with a robust inquiry, the damning evidence of the Hunter laptop, the Senate Homeland security findings, and the credible firsthand account of Tony Bobulinski all cast a shadow large enough to darken any hopes of a Biden “honeymoon” period in the Oval Office.
Over a century ago, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously wrote that “sunlight is the best of disinfectants.” If Joe Biden believes in recent lofty Democratic rhetoric about “healing” a deeply polarized country, then he, more than anyone, should welcome full sunlight upon the recent vote as well as his affairs with China."
