Insecure Apple – OxFam Inequality – and better Social Networks

Posted on January 22, 2020 by CD

Just some quick updates that don’t necessarily have to do with a fixed impeachment trial.

1) When Apple wanted to protect user data by encrypting backups- the FBI and the U.S. justice department put the quabbash on the idea. Why? Because they are already looking at your data and full encryption would have closed that door. Much like the U.S. government has suggested that Americans not use Huawei products – the rest of the world (and Americans) should start giving serious second thought to using Apple products.

2) There are 2,153 billionaires in the world. They control the same amount of wealth as 4.6 billion people. Something seems sort of fucked up there, right? If you aren’t agreeing – you are either a billionaire or you think you might have it in you to become one. Total population 7.6 billion. That means billionaires make up 0.000025% of the population – they aren’t the 1% – they are the 25/10,000th of 1 percent and they control around 60% of global wealth and resources. If you want to talk about the 1% – they control more than 6.9 billion people.

If you saved $10k a day from the time the pyramids were built – you still wouldn’t be among the top five richest people alive today.

3) Finally, if you ever wondered why Facebook sucks (follow me on Facebook) and there aren’t any alternatives – this article might be enlightening.
