I think it might actually be factually incorrect. I looked up the Times Of India article that OP's article was referring to [1], and could not find a source on the biggest plastic polluters in the world.

Then, after searching around, the articles [2] and reports [3] that I found all put Indonesia (not India) in the top 5 polluters in the world. They refer to an authoritative source from Science [4], but I'm not able to access this due to the paywall.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Surely the Times of India hasn't confused "Indonesia" for "India", right?

As a free market supporter it is horrifying that protectionist sentiments reign supreme in the UK. Hopefully this does not foreshadow the US congressional and presidential elections in November.

While Voat used to have some users that focused on privacy and anonymity, today the bad parts of Voat far outweigh the good parts.

Voat is now a hub for intolerant hate-based communities that have been banned from Reddit. The site as a whole is anti-Reddit, anti-immigration, anti-LGBT rights, heavily racist, anti-feminist, and white-supremacist.

To add to this mess, Voat has also turned into a gathering point for Child Pornography users, with their primary image host, Slimgur being banned multiple times by their hosts for hosting CP. Voat users like to say that "the SJWs planted CP to get Slimgur removed! conspiracy!" but one look at the google search results for Voat should disprove that.

Finally, multiple users on Voat have been doxxed, with the site owner Atk0 deciding to not do anything about it.

Voat does not have a single redeeming feature at this point.

Browser fingerprinting is really scary, but AFAIK there are no major websites using it yet right?

It should be fairly easy to detect if something you Google in an different browser session suddenly turns up as an ad on Reddit after you've deleted cookies and cleared history. Also it seems unlikely that Reddit would implement something like this after considering the outcry over the possibility of the Facebook mobile app recording audio. Especially since Reddit has a large technical userbase who are aware of privacy concerns in fingerprinting technologies.

E: why is this being downvoted?
