    Digital Maps Require Greater Government Oversight

    6 November 2022 — Undark

    We rely more on mobile navigation apps than we realize. It’s a mistake to overlook them when regulating Big Tech.

    By Benjamin Santos Genta

    Even though I have lived in Los Angeles for more than five years, I still regularly open the map on my phone to orient myself, to avoid traffic, and to choose the best restaurants nearby. Anecdotes and data tell me that I’m not alone: The majority of Americans regularly use mobile GPS navigation, even in their own cities. Google Maps, the most popular such app, has more than one billion active monthly users worldwide.

    Thursday, 10 November 2022 — The van says…

    Too many people think that a step back is a step over the edge

    Preamble

    Yesterday a pivotal decision by the Russian High Command polarized opinion on the internet. This article published yesterday cover the ins and outs of why Shiogu and Surovikin made the move that they did, yet today’s post will concentrate on the reactions shown across cyberspace as bloggers and boneheads alike commented on the day’s news. Before we look at reactions, we have to examine the actions and realize how one has led to the other.

    UK: Manston and beyond – violence by design

    Thursday, 10 November 2022 — Institute of Race Relations

    The ‘hostile environment in asylum and immigration policy is an environment that fosters racism, everyday cruelty and violence by design’. So concluded the jury at the London Session of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal on Violations of the Rights of Migrants and Refugees in June 2019. Fast-forward to 2022, and the ‘crisis’ at the Manston asylum holding centre in Kent surely underlines the accuracy of a verdict of ‘violence by design’. For this is not a crisis born of neglect, or a failure to prepare; this is not a crisis due to underfunding, insufficient staffing, or lack of suitable accommodation. It is a politically manufactured crisis, designed by politicians – some determined to rip up international conventions and to break taboos on responsible speech by demonising vulnerable people, even after the far-right terrorist attack on a Border Force centre in Dover.

    New Europol rules massively expand police powers and reduce rights protections

    Thursday, 10 November 2022 — Statewatch

    The new rules governing Europol, which came into force at the end of June, massively expand the tasks and powers of the EU’s policing agency whilst reducing external scrutiny of its data processing operations and rights protections for individuals, says a report published today by Statewatch.

    Given Europol’s role as a ‘hub’ for information processing and exchange between EU member states and other entities, the new rules thus increase the powers of all police forces and other agencies that cooperate with Europol, argues the report, Empowering the police, removing protections.

    New tasks granted to Europol include supporting the EU’s network of police “special intervention units” and managing a cooperation platform for coordinating joint police operations, known as EMPACT. However, it is the rules governing the processing and exchange of data that have seen the most significant changes.

    Dear friends,

    Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

    In the last week of October, João Pedro Stedile, a leader of the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) in Brazil and the global peasants’ organisation La Via Campesina, went to the Vatican to attend the International Meeting of Prayer for Peace, organised by the Community of Sant’Egídio. On 30 October, Brazil held a presidential election, which was won by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, affectionately known as Lula. A key part of his campaign addressed the reckless endangerment and destruction of the Amazon by his opponent, the incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro. Lula’s victory, helped along by vigorous campaigning by the MST, provides hope for our chance to save the planet. This week’s newsletter contains the speech that Stedile gave at the Vatican. We hope you find it as useful as we do.

    Ditch the Doomsday Talk

    Wednesday, 9 November 2022 — The van says…

    Sergei Surovikin may be the new kid on the block in Russia’s Ukrainian operation, yet the move made by both himself and Shoigu today was a very mature decision indeed

    Preamble

    Much has been said over previous days regarding the setbacks suffered by Russian forces in the Kherson region, and today Sergei Shoigu has ordered Russian forces to withdraw from the city and return to the eastern bank of the Dnieper river. Whilst an army of armchair warriors are throwing their hands in the air, rather than speaking of doom and gloom, the current situation needs to be regarded both objectively as well as being part of a much larger overall plan both in the East and the West. This article will examine what has happened, why it has happened and where it all may lead.

    For African/Black Working Class and Colonized Peoples, Midterm Elections in the U.S. Offer No Relief from War, Repression and Capitalist Misery
    Ajamu Baraka
    The 50-year old neo-liberal agenda explains why political choices in this country provide little change that benefits the masses of people. The recent midterm election results will not bring about any improvement in the lives of the Black working class.

    Why Democrats Don’t Win The Way They Should
    Margaret Kimberley
    The people prefer the initiatives which democrtatic party leadership claim to support. But their interests are those of the oligarchy and not of the voters. Slim margins of legislative victory bring compromise and gridlock which the leadershiop don’t really oppose.

    One of the extraordinary things about the past few years is the extent to which data which very obviously suggests one thing has been reinterpreted to suggest something else, merely to fit the “approved” narrative.

    It is Russia’s sails that are full of wind, yet as this article explores, there are very stormy seas ahead for Ukrainian forces near Kherson.

    Preamble

    the Western headlines and you will be told that vast Ukrainian forces are massing in the Kherson region to smash through Russian defenses before moving on to retake Crimea. The front page in Russia tells us that the city is being evacuated prior to a big push by Moscow’s men before moving further westwards. This article will take a brief look at the situation, what it means and where it might all lead.

    Historic significance of Xi’s Saudi visit

    by M. K. BHADRAKUMAR

    Chinese President Xi Jinping is reportedly planning to visit Saudi Arabia in the second week of December 2020

    The report that Chinese President Xi Jinping is planning his first overseas trip after the Party Congress and it may be to Saudi Arabia drips with enormous symbolism. According to the Wall Street Journal, the visit is likely to take place early December and hectic preparations are under way.

    Preamble

    Tales have abounded regarding the ‘Ghost of Kiev’, a figment of Ukrainian wishful thinking, yet as covered in this headline, the possibility of Kiev turning into a ghost town due to there being a large-scale evacuation is rising day by day. With that in mind, this article will examine what that would mean for the city as well as the Ukraine as a whole.

    An Excess of Evacuees

    Monday, 7 November 2022 — The Van Says…

    This has become a familiar picture over the last year, yet is the Ukrainian political establishment now attempting to flood Europe with its populace?

    Preamble

    The last month has seen Russian forces take the Ukrainian electricity system offline piece by piece, power stations as well as substations being destroyed in a series of devastating strikes. This has prompted the mayor of Kiev to propose evacuating the entire population from the city as well as its environs due to the increasingly untenable situation that the population faces as normal life slowly grinds to a halt and the cold of winter starts to bite. With things being as they are across the whole country today, it can be guaranteed that these displaced people will not stay in-country and will be sent to Europe. This article examines what this may mean for both the Ukraine as a country and those states who would be playing host to as many as four million more Ukrainian people.

    The manner in which Tehran handled its drone deal with Russia has been somewhat clumsy. The fact that the first ‘leak’ on this topic originated from none other than President Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan should have alerted Tehran that something sinister was afoot.
