Are Apple executives aware that blanket sanctions are an illegal act of war under the Geneva convention?

Re:The Khoisan Once Were Kings of the Planet. What Happened?

Khoi were kings until those bastards up north cross bred with Neanderthals, and for the rest of history those cross breeds thought they were the best thing ever and killed and dominated everyone else. Now they call themselves European. Super arrogant, violent race of hominids. Not to be trusted.

After twenty years of inciting and funding far right organisations across the world to build a white AlQaeeda to fight Russia in Ukraine, the West now says it's Russia stirring the right wing (checks notes) to fight in a proxy war against Russia. Cool. Makes no sense. Got it.

Africa has been dealing with this bullshit since the invention of consumer tech. Zimbabwe's crippling sanctions to get cheap gold, Zambia's copper fields, and the lithium, Coltan and cobalt up Eastern Congo. Should be Wakanda but Americans won't pay a fair market price for the metals and minerals their tech utopia demands.

Open source intelligence exists. We know this story isn't true. Daily reports of casualties show a 10 to 1 ratio of dead/injured Ukrainians to Russians.
There is no reality where the UK MoD is actually spitting facts here. Both Russians and Ukrainians disagree!

Google has repeatedly restricted crypto advertising and down ranked legitimate Cerrito enterprises. Building this article using search visibility is going to give you local (US) results, and suppress a lot of the important ones who don't use that phraseology to describe what they do.

As an ex FAANG, nothing could be more true. TikTok is just continuing what Silicon Valley started, only they're better at it. Having seen what US tech companies have done with my data, I'd much rather it was in the hands of the Chinese.
Re:FDA to approve redesigned Covid boosters without requiring data
on Wednesday July 06, 2022 @02:31AM (#31997476)
That's one argument. Another argument is that a bioweapon containing Moderna-patented characteristics was released on the world, together with a pre designed vaccine to profit from it, as a Western attack on on Western Supply chains by complicit pharmaceutical corporations, governments and other cartel members, to undertake the largest wealth transfer in human history. I think the data backs this better.

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on anyone here that the company that has abused privacy more than any other over the last twenty years is working on this problem. It's like Zuck and his ivory metaverse where he's going to be the only user, because we all know now what he does with our data.

The West has become so deeply aligned to it's narrative, from the global South it is hard to see the sense in this bizarre European obsession with pitting Nazis against Russians. The UN is ignored in favour of NATO. To the world this looks like white people making up their own rules again.
