@hansw @globcoco @design_RG ok thanks, mine is in Canada but this is for a specific use case.

Does anyone know of any @write_as based in the EU / UK, I am looking on behalf of a contact.

I would prefer a hosted service to be UK or EU based so that it will comply properly with the EU / UK GDPR data protection laws.

@itnewsbot Looks interesting, have taken a quick look, will have a further read later.

@JamesDelingpole_bot I think rather than saying they work, they should say 'they work if used and or worn properly'

@write_as Are there any plans to add some sort of search facility, so that when posts are tagged with say #science a search can find such posts. I know if I add #science to another post then follow that link tag it finds all the other posts tagged science.

@ScienceDaily@newsbots.eu So I am guessing if we can find a way to block cancer cells from communicating then we can perhaps stop them growing.

@ScottAdamsSays_bot

Surely to moderate any science based studies and posts to do with science, you need to actually understand the science fully so you can interpret and make proper decisions.

Surely not having those skills would be like a astrophysicist trying to peer review a paper on say biology.

@coldwave Sounds good , this also raises the bar as to content.

Sciencedaily is good too.

The Inn on the Quay is a local pub / restaurant. I am posting this to help promote.

#pub, #food, #drink, #paignton

I have _no_ connection with this business,I am just trying to promote, given the current pandemic and need to get things moving economically.

@freemo @design_RG @gioypi No problem., Thank you for taking the time to investigate and work on this.

@schestowitz less 100 days to go till election day, hopefully the US people will make the right choice.

Hopefully the next government will be different and have the sense and bravery to take on corporations.

@schestowitz Hacker springs to mind, even though the original definition makes it clear what hacking vs cracking is.

@plausible problem is they appeal and get out of fines in some way, we are weak and they take advantage of that weakness.

If you look at facebook adn hate, it is getting worse, I did suggest to a colleague from code club on the issue of child abuse images.

It seems if you upload a photo (any) to facebook they end up with some ownership to allow them to do what they want with it, What we should do is take that, and use it so that when child abuse images are uploaded facebook are charged with possession and distribution, arrest the execs and charge them.

So facebook have a UK office, so start with the execs in the UK office and work down. They will soon start to panic.

Time to get tough, only then will the people at the top start to act.

@plausible Well the GDPR is meant to hit people with 4% of global turnover, until that happens, and they are made to pay, and given the same right to appeal as the people whose data they abused (as in probably non) it will carry on.

I would also argue the msot we can do as non techy uses is to boycott easier said than done. I am using disroot for e-mail (Netherlands) and also cryptpad (france) for cloud services,

So not the big players but the are EU based and have to comply with the GDPR

With the agreement between the US and EU ruled invalid it has implications, but no one is really ever discussing the alternatives.

@design_RG @gioypi @freemo It seems to go between that and 502 bad gateway.
