Facebook faces mass legal action over data leak
21 April 2021
Facebook users whose data was compromised by a massive data leak are being urged to take legal action against the tech giant.
About 530 million people had some personal information leaked, including, in some cases, phone numbers.
A digital privacy group is preparing to take a case to the Irish courts on behalf of EU citizens affected.
Facebook denies wrongdoing, saying the data was "scraped" from publicly available information on the site.
Antoin Ă“ Lachtnain, director of Digital Rights Ireland (DRI), warned other tech giants its move could be the beginning of a domino effect.
"This will be the first mass action of its kind but we're sure it won't be the last," he said.
"The scale of this breach, and the depth of personal information compromised, is gob-smacking."
He added: "The laws are there to protect consumers and their personal data and it's time these technology giants wake up to the reality that protection of personal data must be taken seriously."
DRI claims Facebook failed to protect user data and notify those who had been affected.
The data leak was first discovered and fixed in 2019, but was recently made easily available online for free.
DRI said individual users who take part in the legal action could be offered compensation of up to €12,000 (£10,445) if it is successful - based on what it says are similar cases in other countries.
Domino effect
"If successful this could well set a precedent and open the door to further class action down the line," Ray Walsh, a digital privacy expert at ProPrivacy, told the BBC.
"Big Tech might then find that being made to compensate individual users is a strong reminder to work harder on privacy compliance," he added.
On Thursday, the Irish Data Protection Commission announced its decision to launch an investigation into the leak.
It will assess whether any parts of the GDPR or Data Protection Act 2018 were infringed by Facebook.
If found to be in breach, the social media giant could face fines of up to 4% of its turnover.
Responding to DRI's legal case, a Facebook spokesman said: "We understand people's concerns, which is why we continue to strengthen our systems to make scraping from Facebook without our permission more difficult and go after the people behind it."
He also pointed to other firms involved in similar recent leaks.
"As LinkedIn and Clubhouse have shown, no company can completely eliminate scraping or prevent data sets like these from appearing. That's why we devote substantial resources to combat it and will continue to build out our capabilities to help stay ahead of this challenge," he said.

Climate is the new Covid
FULL ARTICLE HERE:

The “public health policies” allegedly in place to fight Covid19 are being rebranded as “saving the planet”.
Yesterday was Earth Day. The traditional day environmental hashtags temporarily trend across all social media sites. This year was no different, with the exception of the stronger than usual whiff of agenda.
The narrative of the “deadly viral pandemic” is slowly losing momentum. Whether this is through the public having “post viral fatigue”(as it were), or a deliberate shift in media talking points is unclear. But there’s certainly less energy in the story than at this time last year.
That said, it’s also perfectly clear that governments around the world are in no mood to give up their newly acquired “emergency powers”, and that alleged “anti-covid measures” are not going away anytime soon.
Especially lockdowns, which are being freshly marketed as “good for the planet”.
The narrative that locking down the public was “helping the Earth heal” actually dates back to last March, when it was reported all across the world news that only a few weeks of lockdown had cleared up the water in Venician canals so much there were dolphins swimming through the city.
This story later proved to be completely untrue, but that didn’t stop dozens of outlets from picking up the story and running with it.
At various times in the intervening year, Covid has been sold as a having an environmental silver-lining. Including potentially “saving the planet”.
Just last month, the Guardian published a story with the headline…
Knights Templars and Khazarian Mafia this time?
The site renegadetribune.com is for sad little muh joo haters to hang out with each other. I understand trying to go there Down Under brings visits from certain "law enforcement" agencies.
He is a little trooper though, trying to spew me into death by laughter across the many breads I note take/ bake for.
Spamming another bread with your bullshit shilly?

All needed to see. CCP is pushing hard
We've seen this before:
Greater East Asia Coprosperity Sphere
Japan proclaimed the idea of a “Greater East-Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” [Dai-to-a Kyoeiken, variants: Dai Tôa Kyôeiken, Kyujitai Shinjitai] or a “New Order for East Asia,” in the late 1930s. The fundamental idea behind this concept was that under Japan’s leadership Western imperialism in the region would be ended, giving rise to a cooperative economic order that would benefit all hitherto oppressed Asians in the region. Never a precise blueprint, it was an expression of a widely-held belief that Japan’s destiny was to become the region’s dominant power. It was also an appeal to the peoples of the East Asian region to throw off European imperial rule and accept a benign Japanese hegemony.

Posts have already gone up in Generel Research over the last few days. The number of ballots counted were more than the number of Registered Voters.
The physical counts for the boxes have several times not matched the number of ballots on the tally sheets.
Duplicate ballots intended to replace those damaged are being discovered with no original matching ballot in the boxes.
Maricopa County claimed they did not have the passwords to access the machines despite it being law they control the election.
Database was deleted from machines, but Cyber Ninjas were able to recover the deleted data. Looks like Dominion employees did the deleting.
