Facebook lawyer says you don’t actually have any privacy on the site
“There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy,” Snyder said while trying to convince U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria toss out the lawsuit. Snyder argued that users had given consent to share their data with third parties. “You have to closely guard something to have a reasonable expectation of privacy,” he said. Facebook has dealt with multiple scandals over its handling of user data during the past year, including giving companies the ability to see viewers’ private messages. At the same time, Facebook’s massive size and essential monopoly over social media (the company owns both Instagram and messaging service The company is in a tricky position because privacy isn’t profitable. The more data the...
‘Drug War’ Devastates Children’s Lives
The web feature, “Collateral Damage: The Children of Duterte’s ‘War on Drugs,’” shares stories on the plight of several children who have suffered from the emotional, psychological, and economic impacts of the “drug war” violence. The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte should not only end the violence but provide the necessary services to mitigate the damage that abuses by the police and police-backed vigilantes have caused children who have lost parents and other family members, or witnessed extrajudicial killings. “No child should experience the loss of a parent or other family member to extrajudicial killings or witness such horrific violence at the hands of police or hitmen,” said Carlos Conde, Philippines researcher. “The...
South Korea is nearing the crisis of national bankruptcy.
President Moon Jae In to implement the same welfare as Obama Care. Do you know that? The fertility rate in Korea is 0%, and the ratio of youth and middle age is probably 20~30.% . Also, South Korean elderly people account for more than 50% of the Korean population. What is Obama Care? The central government will pay some of the public health services to ensure that all citizens receive health care. But almost all South Korean companies bypass the law to bypass embezzlement and tax payments. But because someone has to pay taxes, a young man in the proletariat has to pay more taxes. These taxes create more than 50% of the elderly welfare for public health services. . A fatal drawback 1. All of our daily necessities and household...
Manila kowtows to Beijing...
Duterte and Xi have 'informal', 'undocumented' agreement allowing Chinese fishermen unrestricted access to Philippine fisheries So Duterte made a secret-but-somehow-legally-binding verbal agreement to allow Chinese fishing in waters where a tribunal said China has no rights in exchange for Filipinos being allowed to fish where it said they have every right. Does this make sense to anyone? The Duterte administration of the Philippines is continuing to cede ground in the South China Sea through an “informal” and “undocumented” agreement between President Duterte and Chairman Xi Jinping. With many citizens of the Philippines already concerned over the government’s unwillingness to safeguard the territory of the country’s Exclusive...

Trump Lifts Ban On Huawei Buying From US Suppliers If National Security Isn’t Risked
Trump Lifts Ban On Huawei Buying From US Suppliers If National Security Isn’t Risked After month of what can only have been chaos within the Huawei ranks, United States President, Donald Trump, has confirmed that companies based in the U.S. can once again deal with the tech giant. This comes after he added Huawei to a list of companies that were forbidden from working with U.S. companies. That then led to multiple companies distancing themselves from Huawei, including Google. That was a problem for Huawei because it replies on Google to provide the underpinnings of Android for its phones. Multiple chip companies also stopped working with Huawei, throwing its phone and networking businesses into disarray. Huawei founder and CEO...
Mas matindi pa daw sa ROTC, Mandatory youth military service advocates ni "bato" dela rosa
Requiring Filipino youth to serve in the military would improve the country's territorial defense, says senator-elect Bato dela Rosa. File/Fernando G. Sepe Jr., ABS-CBN News MANILA—Senator-elect Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa said he will prioritize a bill making military service mandatory for Filipino youth, instead of just registering them for the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). "Like other countries na pagdating mo ng 18 years old, obligado ka na mag-serve sa military for 2 years. Walang pakialam ang gobyerno kung anak ka ng mayaman o ng mahirap, kung sikat ka o artista ka. Maganda rin iyon," he said in an interview on UNTV on Wednesday. The former police chief said this would improve the country's territorial defense. "Itong mga...

new law: students will have to plant 10 trees before they can graduate
Under a new law, students must plant 10 trees before they can graduate elementary, high school and college Under the new Bill, students graduating elementary school, high school, and college in the Philippines must plant at least ten tree seedlings in areas such as forests, mangroves, and indigenous territories. Here’s one way to plant 175 million trees within a year: get young people to do it for school. On May 15, the Philippine Congress officially passed a Bill stating that all students from elementary school, high school, and college (roughly equivalent to primary school, secondary school and university) must plant at least 10 trees in order to graduate, CNN reported. The trees can be planted in either forest, mangroves...
THE PHILIPPINES IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT . . .
And the count is at six. The Philippine government’s appeasement with China is one of the world’s most self-destructive historical moments. China is sitting in Philippine seas blocking Filipino fishermen from food sources and destroying the ecosystems that support fish re-generation. It is a royal disaster promising long-term devastation . . . done by China, yes . . . but enabled by the Philippines. The government has stopped defending Filipinos in favor of China. The government incredibly took the side of the Chinese ship that rammed a Filipino fishing vessel rather than the 22 Filipinos left for dead as the Chinese boat sailed away. The government refused to defend Hong Kong Immigration’s harassment of a former Filipino cabinet...

THE PHILIPPINES: a black hole of lunacy, lies, and unkindness
I slipped into my Star Trek space machine to look down on Earth as if it were an alien planet. It quickly became evident that the creatures on this watery orb are not very friendly, and they are not very smart. Their time on the planet is ending soon . . . they’ve managed to heat the place beyond saving . . . yet they continue to argue and try to find more wealth and power than the next guy. There are tribes of bickering humanoids all over the planet. In one land mass, a place organized as America, they have agreed to be led by a narcissistic lunatic who lies all the time and, rather than unifying his tribe, is dividing it into angry hordes who are at each others’ throats every day. They are driven by greed, by money, and by power...
Why does the President lie?
Last Friday, he did it again. On a TV show hosted by controversial Christian cult leader Apollo Quiboloy, President Duterte invented new untruths, this time against the outstanding journalist Ellen Tordesillas. He said Tordesillas, the president of Vera Files, was suffering from cancer and asking sources for money. In fact, Tordesillas has been cancer-free for several years already, and as she said in a straightforward statement, it was her Malaya publisher, Jake Macasaet, who had shouldered her expenses. She never asked her sources for money. These facts are, if not open knowledge, at least easily accessible information to anyone who asks. Why would the President tell such an obvious, easy-to-refute lie? That is the question. Why...

Sad Truth
Sa totoo lang andaming magaling na kandidato ang hindi nanalo at nasayang lang. Wala e, di kasi tayo lahat e nabibigyan ng tamang edukasyon kung sino ba ang dapat iboto at sino ang hindi. kung sino pa yung mga may experience at alam mong makakagawa ng pagbabago e sila pa yung mga binabalewala. This election is a joke but it's not because of the candidates, but because of us, tayong mga pinoy na di alam kung sino ba at kung gaano kahalaga ang kanilang boto para sa ating bayan.
Election 2019:  7 Possible Proofs of Cheating

Some people have complained that after they voted, they noticed there were other names of candidates inserted in their votes when they checked their voter’s receipts. When a celebrity shares this...
Lacson speech on continued corruption at BOC has basis — ex-Customs chief Lapeña
Former Customs commissioner Isidro Lapeña on Wednesday said Senator Panfilo Lacson's recent privilege speech on the supposedly continuing corruption at the Bureau of Customs (BOC) has basis. Lacson said last week that he had learned the "tara system" at the bureau has not been suppressed, two years after he exposed the names of Customs officials whom he alleged received bribes to facilitate the entry of shipments into the country. In his speech, Lacson, a former National Police chief, said the Office of the Commissioner (OCOM) receives an average of P5,000 per container plus 10% of the collections of each section/office directly under OCOM; P3,000 for Intelligence Group; P1,000 to P2,000 for Enforcement Group; P3,000 for Risk Management...
