Lack of control, uncertainty, and frustration associated with online media has long persuaded some TV fans and movie buffs to retain physical media. Streaming services tend to hike prices, even after suggesting that they won’t. They also pull content from their platforms regularly and are even known to delete on-demand purchases, (which, per licensing agreements, are really just indefinite loaners).
The infiltration of ads into streaming services and changing rules and features of streaming subscriptions have also led people to yearn for a simpler time. And the necessity for strong Internet connections and demands for 4K and/or HDR can also push people to opt for physical media, which should work the same way every time."

"EDPS (European Data Protection Supervisor) issues decision finding that the European Commission has illegally targeted advertisement on citizens using "sensitive" personal data on their political views."
https://noyb.eu/en/political-microtargeting-eu-commission-illegal
What now?
"The EDPS only issued a reprimand - so a formal finding that the processing was illegal and a formal warning. The EDPS considered that other measures, such as a fine, were not necessary as the Commission stopped the practise."
Too bad they don't have to also issue an apology or at least an admission of guilt, bit even not having to, they really should - it would be a first step in an attempt to recover lost credibility.

Nove anos depois, os custos acumulados relacionados com o ruído deste aeroporto na saúde dos cidadãos de Lisboa, Loures e Almada (incómodo, morbilidade) e em termos económicos (perda de produtividade, subvalorização do património imobiliário) desde 2015 calcula-se já superior a 10.000.000.000€.
Um novo estudo mostra que milhares de casos de #hipertensão, #diabetes e #demência na Europa podem estar ligados às pequenas partículas emitidas pelos aviões, e que foram encontradas no sangue, no cérebro e até na placenta. Estima-se que as partículas ultrafinas decorrentes da atividade do aeroporto de #Lisboa possam estar na origem de 15.473 casos de hipertensão, 18.615 casos de diabetes e 1.837 casos de demência entre a população da cidade e arredores, ou seja, no total cerca de 36 mil casos de doença; isto é, até 9% da população num raio de 5 km com doença atribuível ao aeroporto.

Segundo Zourabichvili, a fraude envolveu nomeadamente o #votoeletrónico, utilizado pela primeira vez na Geórgia durante as eleições de sábado passado, que permitiu que o mesmo número de bilhete de identidade correspondesse a "17 votos, 20 votos, em regiões diferentes".
