‘What happens with customer data?’ British joy over reopening of pubs muted by BoJo’s plans for owners to collect personal details
Excitement at British PM Boris Johnson’s announcement that pubs will be given the green light to reopen on July 4 has been somewhat curbed as the plans include businesses requesting customers provide personal contact details.
Johnson’s plans for pubs to restart trading on their premises was met with cheers by many lawmakers in parliament, but details on the conditions attached to the reopening reveal it will be anything but business as usual for owners and customers – particularly concerning personal data.

Green New Deal Leads GOP Into Compromise Over Fighting Climate Change
The Green New Deal doesn’t just belong to radical greens and Democrats, but also to the Republicans. Climate alarmists have successfully changed the political narrative into one of finding the best ways to limit carbon and Republicans are eating it up. ⁃ TN Editor
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of every American. More than 118,000 people have died in the U.S. due to the coronavirus and over 45 million Americans have filed for unemployment assistance. Communities have shut down entirely, and while officials are following public health guidelines to safely reopen, getting to a new normal will take time.
Shutting down our economy also significantly impacted emissions levels. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates U.S. emissions could decline by more than 14 percent this year.
And as the pandemic ravages health and economies worldwide, the International Energy Agency reports that global energy emissions may decline this year by almost 8 percent – the largest reduction ever and “twice as large as the combined total of all previous reductions since the end of World War II.”
Still, even with the pandemic driving major economic devastation and emissions declines, global emissions barely met the United Nations’ target of cutting annual emissions by 7.6 percent. And, of course, developed countries like the United States are supposed to cut an even larger share, while the world allows China to continue to increase its emissions without consequence for the next decade.

Obama, Biden Reunion Fundraiser Raises $4 Million So Far
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are reuniting on Tuesday for their first joint appearance of the campaign, a fundraiser that has already raised more than $4 million, according to two people familiar with the event.
More than 120,000 people have already bought tickets to the virtual event, which start at $15 and go up to $1,000, the people said. It’s the first time the former president has raised money for Biden and just his second public appearance on his former vice president’s behalf. He released an endorsement video in April after Biden’s opponents dropped out of the Democratic primary race.
“Choosing Joe to be my vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made, and he became a close friend. And I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now,” Obama said in that video.
The initial haul for the fundraiser is likely to grow in the hours before the early evening event, making it one of the biggest for Biden’s campaign. An event last week with Biden and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren raised $6 million

Report: NYC Shootings Surge 358% over Same Time Last Year
New York City shootings have surged to the point they are now 358 percent higher than they were at this time last year.
NBC 4 reports data released Monday shows there were 55 shootings in the last week compared to 12 for the same week in 2019.
Over 70 people were injured in the shootings, with victims “[varying] in age from 16 to 47.”
On June 21, 2020, Breitbart News reported shootings had risen sharply during Monday-Friday of last week. The increase in numbers came after the NYPD disbanded its plainclothes anti-crime unit.
The NBC 4 report notes the shootings continued to pile up over the weekend but NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) indicated no support for bringing back the anti-crime unit. Rather, he said, “We are not going back to the bad old days where there was too much gun violence in this city, nor are we going back to the bad old days.”
The New York Post quoted an anonymous law enforcement to the change in police policy, saying, “This is what the politicians wanted — no bail, nobody in Rikers, cops not arresting anyone.”

Street 'like chewing gum' as major quake hits southern Mexico, kills one
MEXICO CITY, June 23 (Reuters) - A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.4 struck the coast of southern Mexico on Tuesday, killing at least one person, buckling paved roads, and sending people fleeing their homes into the streets.
One person died in the state of Oaxaca, Governor Alejandro Murat said, after the quake hit the Pacific coastal state mid-morning.
Mexico's civil protection agency recommended that residents move away from the coastline to avoid a possible tsunami. Videos on social media showed the ocean's water receding in Oaxaca, a mountainous state that is home to coffee plantations, beach resorts, and Spanish colonial architecture.

EXCLUSIVE-Republican former U.S. national security officials to back Biden
WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) - Dozens of Republican former U.S. national security officials are forming a group that will back Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, people familiar with the effort said, in a further sign that President Donald Trump has alienated some members of his own party.
The group will publicly endorse Biden in the coming weeks and its members plan to campaign for the former vice president who is challenging Trump in the Nov. 3 election, the sources said. It includes at least two dozen officials who served under Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, with dozens more in talks to join, the sources added.
They will argue that another four years of a Trump presidency would endanger U.S. national security and that Republican voters should view Biden as the better choice despite policy differences, the sources said.

One Of The World's Largest Web Tracking Companies Leaks Tons Of Personal Info From An Unsecured Server
from the so-happy-to-have-contributed-to-the-leak-by-using-the-internet dept
Advertisers want to know everything about you. So do sites that buy ad inventory and allow middlemen to let their trackers run free, tracing people from site to site, following them into their email inboxes, and tracking them across platforms and devices if need be.
BlueKai, owned by Oracle, deploys these pervasive trackers, sinking its hooks into a reported 1% of the world's internet traffic. BlueKai is the kind of clever no one really respects. It's more along the lines of "devious." But it is very, very effective.
BlueKai relies on vacuuming up a never-ending supply of data from a variety of sources to understand trends to deliver the most precise ads to a person’s interests.
[…]
BlueKai… uses more covert tactics like allowing websites to embed invisible pixel-sized images to collect information about you as soon as you open the page — hardware, operating system, browser and any information about the network connection.
[…]
BlueKai can also tie your mobile web browsing habits to your desktop activity, allowing it to follow you across the internet no matter which device you use.
