It seems you don't understand the concept of law and more specifically consumer law.
Companies like FB are to abide by those (consumer) laws and are obliged is to protect the privacy of their clients.
Well, at least that's how it works on this side of the ocean.
One simple example of the BS they are up to, we all know they use facial recognition software.
A few months ago we were visiting a cave and a group photo was made for prints to be sold at the exit.
I ducked because just suppose there was some Islamist in the group and I would be associated with him after someone proudly posted the pic on Facebook.
Next trip to the USofA I would have to answer a lot of stupid questions by your homeland security.
Yes I insinuate they are buddies with the American three letter agencies.
The lack of a second chamber of parliament makes the Danish system quite unstable, there is nothing stopping a new (or existing) government to come up with the wildest laws.
The recent changes in car taxation are an example, the smallest cars were made more expensive...
I agree the 75% is wrong.
But you forgot to add 22-25% of kommuneskat (Local tax) to the 38% income tax...
Denmark also has the highest VAT allowed by the EU, 25% on anything you buy.
And please don't forget the tax on cars that is up to 198%.
I asked the Danish skat (tax man) what I would have to pay would I decide to take my (Dutch) pension in Denmark, a nice round 50%!
For measures of 'anyone'.
There is profit for giving the general population and also industry access to clean water (and air for that matter).
It is society as a whole that profits and you are part of that society.
In other words, it is not beneficial to have individual investors get the profits, for best return on investment this needs to be a public utility based on a strong and fair legal system.
Which for the moment will leave large swaths of the USofA dry...
There's very little Socialist about the last several Danish governments, they are more and more populist, you know, afraid of others.
But Denmark does have great social services, among the best in the world.
As an example their health services are ranked 2rd. in Europe. https://healthpowerhouse.com/p...
From personal experience I would say their legal system is rather sparse, for example they have 'just' a parliament but no senate or similar.
Uhh, Sony camera's make nice pictures but their operation is rather difficult, for one Sony decided to make them too small for many if not most hands.
Even though their price / quality is very good pro photographers need something more substantial.
Luckily the better Nikon camera's use the best Sony sensors.
In 2000 and at the end of their 25th. independence celebrations I took some pics of the Angolan government plane being boarded by some VIP's.
Within seconds security confiscated my camera.
A good hour later they came back explaining they could not get the film out, indeed they had never seen a digital camera:). (Olympus C-900 Zoom)
So I showed them the photo's and deleted the ones' they objected to.
Little did they know or understand I had already taken more pictures on a different card.
A couple of hours later when back in South Africa I undeleted the photo's from the affected card.
The higher end camera's have a significant fast memory buffer from which the pictures are transferred to the slower removable media.
The manufacturers will have to devise a system whereby said buffer will not retain a tell-tale.
Years ago E-bay bought a successful Dutch company called Marktplaats.
Marktplaats has always accepted iDeal because it is trusted and cheap.
As seller you give your bank account to the buyer who via iDeal pays the sum upon which the seller sends the item.
Very recently Marktplaats and iDeal have expanded their service by enabling the seller to send an iDeal request on which the buyer clicks and enters his/her bank details, neither of the two will see the others' bank details, the price is €0.40 per deal.
They now also offer a service whereby both sides will be guaranteed exchange of goods for money but it will cost another 2% of the sum.
You are a whiner and as an AC that doesn't carry any value.
On the other hand, looking at the comments so far they are just like you totally of-topic.
So your assumption the nerds that don't care about politics have left/. seems challenged.
On the other hand, in the original story there is a strong link to technology and still no one here gives any on topic replies.
Yes I believe the story might have at least elements of truth, regardless of what the Chinese and AU people say.
They could switch on the lights, change the temperature etc. without leaving traces outside of the home.
You should be able to set up DuckDuckGo as your search engine without the Q&A's being read by the manufacturer.
With proper (I.e. non USofA) privacy regulation this could all be feasible, you could even order a pizza or dildo with only you and the seller keeping records.
On your first sentence, please give some links with proof or at least plausible explanation. BR>
On your third sentence, why don't you read the article? It was the American reaction to the information they found disappointing. (broadcasting that 'Western Intelligence' had hacked a camera in Moscow )
Possible, it's not exactly a recent thing and only now it gets in the press.
At the same time here we see proof significant (counter) surveillance is possible without the dragnet legislation certain people in our government want.
The fact they have ignored the 'outcome' of the other two referenda is great news, first of all they were/are only advisory referenda, secondly both had their outcome seriously flawed by misinformation of the public, possibly or even likely by Russian influence?
The Dutch have seen repercussions, there were serious hack attempts at several ministries and shortly before the elections all use of computers for the counting was banned because there were strong indications of Russian attempts to corrupt the system.
And where do the machines come from to make these wafers?
16th. ranked The Netherlands is where some of the most advanced are made by ASML, the others are Nikon and Canon.

This makes me kind of smile, apparently it's not just the Facebook users that suffer a total loss of privacy but also their own employees.
I have little sympathy for FB users that get burned but it's even less for those evil enough to work there.
Uhh, you (USofA) have already overspent and now you and Trump want to shift more burden onto the next generations...

A modern hi-end camera has a touch screen with a virtual keyboard.
Even a fingerprint sensor could be considered.

The pictures of your parter in an undressed situation might be another cause for encryption.

I'm afraid these days such won't work any more...
Absolutely.
Until all devices are encrypted.
Or the USofA where all your rights are waved within a significant distance of the international borders?
Thanks for the valuable information.

There are reasons digital photography left the old analogue behind, immediate checking of the results is one of those reasons.

Indeed, and most of Italy is still part of the African shelf.
Foreign oil when Trump just stopped import of cheap solar panels?
No, Trump prefers to keep his USA First billionaire friends make money locally.
