HYP3R has publicly claimed to have "a unique dataset of hundreds of millions of the highest value consumers in the world," and sources say 🔼90% of its data came from Facebook owned Instagram. It ingests in excess of 1 mill Instagram posts a MONTH”
⁦ businessinsider.com/startup-hyp3r-…
This is quite quite extraordinary given the Cambridge Analytica and Kogan (GSR Ltd) breaches.

Masses of personal details collected, even ones where the person positing it thinks is disappears after a day.
Furthermore, even AFTER Facebook/Instagramme knew of the security weakness/lapses, whilst publicly saying it was good it was fixed, HYP3R merrily found a work around & continued to scrape user data in vast quantities..& was not even secret about it.

Pound Falling to Parity-An Idea That's taking hold.

“Sterling slid almost 7% in the past three months, the worst performance among major currencies, to about $1.2140 on Thursday.”

Don’t tell me that Johnson and his hedge fund mates don’t want this
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
2/. BlackRock’s Harrison, who has had a short position in the currency for more than two months and is also using option strategies that benefit from an increase in volatility

Even if Brexit was reversed in Oct they could still make money as the value of the £ would bounce back
Johnson talks up No Deal knowing full well the markets will fall.

All his mates know it too. Keep shorting the £.

Devalues it for the rest of us who therefore pay more for everything.

Reverse it and it increases in value. If you know when, traders can go long.

Hard Brexiters’ (Habib’s nonsense) stance on the Irish border is nonsense – “I can tell you, I grew up there

For most of my childhood, our garden backed on to a UK customs checkpoint which sat at the terminus of land behind our garage.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2/. “I’m sure this isn’t some red herring I’ve imagined, because I’d have likely conjured a more thrilling sight than the squat little prefab that blighted our view of the main road until 1997. “
3/. “On the other hand, however fevered my imagination, I doubt I could have made up the time an IRA bomb blast destroyed that building, damaging our windows and blowing a section of its wall into our field – with its kitchen sink still attached.”

EAGER to stay ahead of the ramifications of their impending exit from the EU, the Gov of Great Britain have given the go-ahead for the erection for a 100 metre tall fan on the Cliffs Of Dover, ready for any shit that will fly over the channel from EU

waterfordwhispersnews.com/2019/08/08/bri…
2/. ““It’s that old saying… when the shit comes, you better have a fan!” beamed Boris Johnson, breaking ground at the Dover site.

Brexitty innovation.
3/. Assembled journalists took a moment to correct Johnson, stressing that the adage suggested that one did not want to be anywhere near the location of a fan, should shit hit.

“Nonsense,” beamed Johnson, sporting a shovel with a Union Jack on it because of fucking course.

1. Merhaba Arkadaşlar, bazı konuları sizin de katkılarınızla incelemenin faydalı olacağını düşünüyorum. İlk olarak #Facebook ve ortaklarının çıkaracağı kripto para olan #Libra’yı inceleyelim.
2. Facebook’a göre #Libra, “küresel bir para birimi ve finansal altyapı sistemi” olacak. #Blockchain altyapısı ile çalışacak Libra , emtialar karşılığında kullanılacak bir finansal değer.
3. İlk hedefleri, banka hesabı bile bulunmayan 1,7 milyar insan yani dünya nüfusunun %31’i…

So #Facebook & #Instagram (second time in 3 weeks) deleted my accounts. For sharing information about #Kashmir. No explanations or replies to my questions are given. Of course this is not about Facebook, nor about me, but the much more dangerous path SM is taking.
It is all about Justice & about what is happening to many people living under oppression & facing severe surveillance & suppression on the ground and even online.
It is about principals & rights. Human rights. Enshrined in statues & bragged about. Said to be universal. Said to be
I don't know ONE Kashmiri who hasn't been subjected to some form of censorship. On the ground there are far worse consequences than removed posts. Journalists (and MANY civilians) have been trashed, arrested & targeted when covering human rights violations by India.
