Do you enjoy privacy rights?

Because deregulation is how you lose them. Oh and also basic safety, and human rights.

Today is the 8th anniversary of @Liberapay's launch. Coincidentally, I have an announcement to make.

I'm looking for someone to open a new chapter in the project's history by becoming its second maintainer. That doesn't mean it's a programming job, although help in that area is always welcome. You can find a bit more information in github.com/liberapay/salon/iss and ask any questions you have there or in private.

Please boost 🙂

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has shut down a wide variety of operations inside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

A source inside the bureau who asked to remain anonymous said the order appeared to shut down the CFPB altogether.

Elon Musk tweeted “Delete CFPB”.

I've heard that from Feb 1st, PayPal is changing the information it shows to people receiving money from you.

To make sure you're not unwittingly handing out your personal info, have a check of your PayPal settings. The website is different per country, but it seems you can find this setting from Invoices, clicking 'business info' or ''more actions > edit business details', and then change what's shown to recipients, and also via this link :

Absence of the evidence is not evidence of absence! The media today often weaponizes that misconception and then you are on the other side of "science" when you are just asking them: What evidence do you have confirming that particular event has not happened.

Targeted (or surveillance) advertising requires an immense amount of personal information about individuals to work. And this information can be shared, by design, with hundred of companies you've never heard of.
