Foreign Internet platforms will face liability for censoring Russian media and restricting access to information on racial, ethnic and political affiliation. As reported by RIA Novosti, citing a source, this will affect social networks and large IT platforms.
“There are several principles in the law. The first is access restriction. When, for example, when Russian television accounts on social networks are blocked or a film made by Russian television people is removed from the show. The second is when they restrict access to information based on race, nationality, political affiliation, ” the message says.
It sounds like fun.
According to statistics, 37.82% of client and institutional international payments in October were made in euros - this is 6 pp. more than it was at the end of 2019. The share of transactions in dollars decreased by 4.6 percentage points to 37.64%. The pound serling, Japanese yen and Canadian dollar accounted for 12.25% of international payments last month.
Really dangerous with all new US money printing, and US need this to keep paying debts.
Journalists do not need to be devoted to anything. You don't even need to give them a command - these smart and surprisingly mean animals themselves are able to guess by the smell where they can find crumbled food.

On this day a hundred years ago, November 18, 1920, abortion was legalized for the first time in Europe. This event took place in red Russia, it was formalized by a joint resolution of the RSFSR People's Commissariat of Health and the RSFSR People's Commissariat of Justice "On artificial termination of pregnancy". From now on, all women received the right to artificially terminate their pregnancies within the first three months.
Even back in 1913 Lenin advocated "the unconditional abolition of all laws against abortion." He attributed the right to abortion to the "elementary democratic rights of a citizen"
Despite the new right to abortion, the birth rate in red Russia increased in the 1920s. This was facilitated by the famous "maternity leave" introduced by the Bolsheviks for women - it began two months before the birth of the child and ended one and a half months after giving birth. All this time, the woman received a full salary. In 1920, 21.7 babies were born per thousand people in Russian cities, and in 1923 (after abortion was allowed) - 35.3. In 1927, there were already 45 births per thousand people.
Important to remember for some conservative degenerates.
Apple today announced it will reduce the App Store commissions for smaller businesses. Under the new guidelines of the “App Store Small Business Program,” as it’s called, developers earning up to $1 million per year will only have to pay a 15% commission on in-app purchases, rather than the standard 30% commission.
The new program will launch on Jan. 1, 2021, and will be based on the business’s revenues in the previous calendar year — meaning 2020. This $1 million threshold will be based on how much existing developers made across all their applications on a post-commission basis, Apple notes. That means the businesses could actually earn up to $1.3 million in gross revenues.

It is nice PR move, but due to monopolization such developers now get only less than 20-25% of total revenues of AppStore and this part is dropping around 15-20% each year.
Microsoft is creating a new security chip that’s designed to protect future Windows PCs. Microsoft Pluton is a security processor that is built directly into future CPUs and will replace the existing Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a chip that’s currently used to secure hardware and cryptographic keys. Pluton is based on the same security technologies used to protect Xbox consoles, and Microsoft is working with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm to combine it into future CPUs.
Pluton acts as a hardware root-of-trust, which in simple terms protects a device's hardware from tampering, such as from hardware implants or by hackers exploiting flaws in the device's low-level firmware. By integrating the chip inside future Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm central processor units, or CPUs, it makes it far more difficult for hackers with physical access to a computer to launch hardware attacks and extract sensitive data, the companies said.
"The Microsoft Pluton design will create a much tighter integration between the hardware and the Windows operating system at the CPU that will reduce the available attack surface," said David Weston, director of enterprise and operating system security at Microsoft.
In reality chip will have almost nothing with real security, but almost all to do with hardware interlocking preventing any repairs or parts reusability.
Main target will be Windows notebooks that already suffer from Intel and AMD locking techniques.
Btw if you trust any TPM and this upcoming shit - never do this, authorities have tools for direct access to keys stored in them.
Hundreds of thousands of small and medium businesses are going down or already perished but Amazon and Walmart are setting records and welcome new lowest salary employers.
Amazon is making its biggest push into the healthcare industry yet with the launch today of Amazon Pharmacy: a new service offering home delivery for prescription medication.
Customers can sign up to the new store by creating a ”secure pharmacy profile,” with the option of adding information about their health insurance, any outstanding medical issues like allergies, and any regular prescriptions. The store will offer a range of “generic and brand-name drugs,” reports CNBC, including “commonly prescribed drugs like insulin, triamcinolone steroid creams, metformin for controlling blood sugar, and sumatriptan for migraines.” Notably, the pharmacy will not sell Schedule II medications, which includes many common opioids like Oxycontin.
I think idea to provide Amazon all this info, so they could resell it to everyone who have money including your work boss is nice.
