To hear Axel Voss and other supporters talk about it, the recording industry is in a death spiral without #Article13

Yet, @IFPI_org's actual stats show things are going quite well: A chart showing increasing Global Recorded Music Revenue for each year, increasing year over year thanks to streaming music after a slight dip in 2014
Is it any wonder that Europeans are planning mass protests for March 23?

Digital security teachers! What are some memes or metaphors that you like to use to explain VPNs? We’ll start. A four-part example of the meme where homer simpson fades into a bush. In the first image, he is wearing a blue shirt representing the EU. In the second and third images, he disappears into a bush labeled

In one of the most contentious decisions in the European Union’s history, the European Parliament today voted to approve a directive that undermines Internet users' ability to share their work and creates new limits on their ability to link, quote, and critique the news.
The Parliament narrowly rejected (by 5 votes) debating the amendment that might have removed the controversial #article13 and #article11 from the Copyright Directive and then approved the unaltered text in its entirety.
The vote came after a weekend that saw hundred thousands of netizens protesting across Europe, and months of warnings against the directive by technologists from Tim Berners-Lee and Vint Cerf, non-profits like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap, human rights experts, and academics.

The final vote on the EU #CopyrightDirective is happening THIS WEEK!

Dozens of MEPs are undecided on how to vote on the EU's disastrous #CopyrightDirective. Here's how to call them now, and how to tell them to delete #Article11 and #Article13! saveyourinternet.eu
This is the most controversial Directive in EU history. The petition against Directive's #Article13 is the largest in history, with over 5 million signatures, and protestors have taken to streets this weekend to ensure that MEP's know what's at stake! saveyourinternet.info/demos
#Article13 would require "copyright filters" that would check every tweet, Facebook update, shared photo, and uploaded video to see if they were similar to items in a database of known copyrighted works, and block it if they found anything too similar eff.org/deeplinks/2019…

Thread: On Dealing with Congress – Properly!

[H/T: @WinstonLeslie ]

1. The nation has over $22 trillion in long-term debt. We have been engaged in “overseas ventures” (aka “small wars”) continuously for almost 20 years. The Chinese have been stealing our lunch for 40 years.
2. Obamacare was foisted on an unsuspecting public, resulting in skyrocketing premiums and loss of long-time general practitioners. And Congress has, in general, fought the implementation of the MAGA agenda for the past two years while spending much time “investigating” POTUS.
3. Congress fiddles; the country burns (apologies to the Emperor Nero and the historian Suetonious). And the only accountability that exists is to the voters although the reelection decks are stacked against outsider-challengers (~90% of incumbents win reelection!).

@adamcifu @AnnalsofIM Okay let's do this. As always, I have deep respect for you and @VPrasadMDMPH and the important reform work that you do. You're two of the last honest brokers in medicine (especially now that Cochrane has been corrupted by $$$$). 1/
@adamcifu @AnnalsofIM @VPrasadMDMPH The FDA has no regulations concerning placebos & most clinical trials do not list the contents of their "placebos". There is no debate about that it's just a fact. The expert on this is Beatrice Golomb at UCSD & the sources are

@adamcifu @AnnalsofIM @VPrasadMDMPH Okay so now let's use common sense (yes that is still permitted in medicine). If a pharmaceutical company is not required to use an actual placebo & if they are not required to list the contents of their fauxcebo, then what are the odds that the placebo is clean? ZERO! Right!? 3/

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:
USC's Interactive Media & Games Division cancels all-star panel that included top-tier game developers who were invited to share their experiences with students. Why? Because there were no women on the panel.
dailytrojan.com/2016/04/25/poi…
ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference. archive.is/YGhbr

1/ THREAD: Why #QAnon pointed out the connection between #BigPharma and #BigWireless when replying to a statement about #MKUltra
2/ Quick Rundown: Anon makes statement about #MKUltra being more advanced, #QAnon points to pharma and cel phones.
3/ Why is pharma essential, beyond cures? There’s no shortage of #BigPharma conspiracy theories. Here’s a good list:

1) And now for a day in the life of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. This is monday's meeting of the HPSCI. The names and transcript is real. The snarky bullshit and lampooning of their discussions are also real, but they're from me.
2) Let us begin on page 3, the letter of the piece of Schiff, which was entered into the record I believe as a subtle way of embarrassing that Schiffhole for being such a whiny bitch.
3) The letter states as such: "I'm gonna say that I'm releasing my own memo reluctantly, but in reality I'm hopped up on fucking opioids and I didn't write the memo myself, one of my staffers whom I endlessly attempt to grope did."
