Facebook is ramping up expansion into APAC as pace of growth in developed markets slows
But it's also quietly caving to demands from autocratic govts in the region to censor content, thereby prioritising profits over free speech

The server upgrade went fine, everything should be back to normal.

Some good news everyone should know about:
"Tucked inside the National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 6395), which just became law, is a new requirement for federal military and civilian law enforcement personnel involved in the federal government's response to a "civil disturbance" to wear visible identification of themselves and the name of the government entity employing them. That's good news, because requiring such identification should be a no-brainer in a democracy. When government employees are interacting with members of the public and exercising government authority, such as the power to arrest people, the public should have the right to know who the employees are and which agency employs them."

Xournal++ may be useful too.
@minimlr@fosstodon.org There is Xournal
http://xournal.sourceforge.net/
which is nice, not sure if it works on Android/IOS, may need to do more digging
@Liberapay :)
I just linked my blog to libreapay this week via PayPal need to understand more of the Stripe set up to go further with that.
No problem, the fact facebook got sued by so many states over privacy seems like Facebook now think they are just above the law. A very dangerous way of thinking.
This however is great for the fediverse as it helps strengthen our argument for decentralised and privacy respecting social media .
There is a pandemic, they are probably hoping that it will sneak in and no one will notice.
I hope they do this, as if they break the condition (which sounds familiar to me too) they get fined, maybe a few Billion dollars for a start,

Telegram Feature Exposes Your Precise Address To Hackers https://yro.slashdot.org/story/21/01/06/0319243/telegram-feature-exposes-your-precise-address-to-hackers #privacy
@grimneko There was talk about breaking up Facebook, but that is the usual all talk and no action.
I mentioned that I found the initial link on Mastodon, too.
@grimneko Thanks for this I have contacted the NSPCC and let them know, if others want to do the same I would encourage it as it raises the concern level if more than one person informs then.
@grimneko Another kick in the teeth for privacy then.
