Automated racism : How tech can entrench bias
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/automated-racism-how-tech-can-entrench-bias
Dutch benefits scandal highlights need for EU scrutiny. In the run-up to parliamentary elections in the Netherlands this month, center-right and extreme right parties are outdoing one another in calling for a surveillance state that will come down on marginalized and minority groups in all its might. This should send alarm bells ringing in Brussels and beyond. The party of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, projected to emerge as the election winner, doesn’t appear to have learned any lessons (...)

Belgian secretary of state accidentally reveals EU vaccine prices – POLITICO
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/belgian-secretary-of-state-accidentally-reveals-eu-vaccine-prices
According to the screenshot published by HLN, the EU is spending between €1.78 and $18 per coronavirus vaccine. The price per dose listed for each of the six vaccines was as follows:
Oxford/AstraZeneca: €1.78
Johnson & Johnson, $8.50
Sanofi/GSK: €7.56
BioNTech/Pfizer: €12
CureVac: €10
Moderna: $18
Belgium will purchase more than 33 million vaccines for a total of €279 million.
De Blecker said that publication of the price breakdown was “a mistake on the part of the communications team,” according to HLN.
mais pourquoi donc en temps normal un truc payé avec les impôts des gens devrait avoir son prix non divulgué ? c’est le fonctionnement normal qui n’est pas normal…
Il est possible que la clause de confidentialité ne soit pas directement destinée à cacher le prix au grand public, mais avant tout aux autres pays et concurrents.
Par exemple Moderna ne veut pas que AstraZeneca sache qu’il a réussi à faire payer 10 fois plus cher son vaccin au même client. Et telle autre compagnie ne veut pas que Trump sache que les Européens paient la vaccin 12€, l’Afrique du Sud 5€, alors qu’elle est en train d’essayer d’obtenir 1 200€ des États-Unis… [exemples de prix inventés, évidemment]

From compassion to fortress Europe — the migration crisis in pictures – POLITICO
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/from-compassion-to-fortress-europe-the-migration-crisis-in-pictures
I began photographing the plight of refugees in Greece in 2015, traveling between the islands which are their entry point to Europe. Thousands arrived from war zones in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Others make the long journey from Iran, Pakistan and sub-Saharan Africa; often with nothing more than a backpack and the hope of a new life.Five years ago, places like Moria were just a stopping point, where migrants were screened and fingerprinted. Volunteers and humanitarian workers greeted them with hot tea and blankets to warm them after the treacherous sea journey. On the islands, there was a sense of solidarity and of humanitarianism among the volunteers who stepped in to fill the gap left by governments and institutions.
Slowly at first, and then more quickly, the rest of Europe started to close up, though — leaving many migrants stuck. Whereas the Greek islands had been a starting point for many, or a stopgap until they could find their way further north, it was now home. Temporary became permanent, as many waited years to have their asylum claims heard.The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated the situation. Camps in Greece locked down or shut altogether, even after restrictions were lifted elsewhere in the country. The NGO Doctors Without Borders argued that there was no public health justification for measures it described as “toxic” and “blatant discrimination.” Now, it said, a different threat was surging: self-harm, violence, depression and other mental health issues in the camps. Five years on, there are other impacts. Locals, who helped settle refugees, say they are now the forgotten victims. Tourism on Lesvos has collapsed and those who live close to the settlements feel unsafe in their homes. Solidarity has given way to anger. Local people feel their generosity was used against them as an international problem became an acute local one.
Below is a photographic timeline from the start of the migration crisis in 2015 to the present.

The deal could allow the likes of Uber Eats and Deliveroo to avoid additional regulation. A coalition of food-delivery companies on Wednesday unveiled a deal with a far-right-affiliated Italian union, pushing through their version of employee protection for gig workers as an alternative to classifying them as employees. The companies, which include Uber, Deliveroo, Glovo, JustEat and others, believe their approach to labor relations — not directly employing delivery workers but providing (...)

Here’s what the pending decision means for transatlantic relations. The countdown is on. Facebook will be forced to stop moving data from its European users to the United States as early as next month after Ireland’s data protection watchdog told the social networking giant that its current means of transferring digital information across the Atlantic is illegal. The company still has a few weeks to appeal the preliminary ruling. But the decision deals a blow to billions of euros in (...)

In the digital fight against COVID-19, Big Tech squared off against governments — and won. As policymakers around Europe pushed to develop smartphone apps to track the spread of the coronavirus, Apple and Google flexed their muscles by laying out conditions for building the tools, which are now set to be rolled out across the bloc and beyond by early June.

Why detached Macron thinks he’s winning – POLITICO
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/why-detached-macron-thinks-hes-winning
... the country is far from being paralyzed as it was in 1995 and 1968. Even the railways have not been completely halted as they were in 1986.
Parisians have had limited Metro and bus services and no Christmas opera or ballet performances, but outside Paris, other than for rail travelers, the strikes have been scarcely felt.
While just over 50 percent of French people oppose the pension reform and up to a million have joined nationwide protest marches, the strikes themselves are tiny.
By my reckoning, 0.58 percent of French public sector workers are en grève and 0.11 percent of the entire French workforce. Almost no one in the private sector has ceased work.
The vast majority of strikers — 30,000 out of roughly 35,000 — are on the railways and the Paris Metro. Even on the state railways the proportion of strikers has fallen to 7.7 percent of staff (compared to over 12 percent at the start). Something similar is happening on the Paris Metro and buses.
Bof.
He may be right that his government is winning its war of attrition with the unions. That could be a Pyrrhic victory. Macron could end up annoying more voters with his aloofness than he impresses with his determination.
Chaque victoire de Macron contre la volonté d’une majorité de personnes contribue à faire croître le fossé qui se creuse entre le peuple et la représentation, entre les gobeurs de macronisme et les autres qui se prennent sa botte en pleine poire. Ce sont bien des victoires à la Pyrrhus, au moins ça !

Emmanuel Macron sold himself as the man who could reconcile government and Silicon Valley — a sort of “tech whisperer” for troubled times.

His ill-fated attempt to overhaul the way Facebook polices its platform for hate speech is one major example of why Big Tech is falling out of love with the French leader.

Slovakian journalism’s darkest day – POLITICO
▻https://www.politico.eu/article/jan-kuciak-gorilla-slovakia-journalist-dead-darkest-day
Even during the turbulent and lawless decade that followed the end of communism in 1989, no reporter was ever killed in Slovakia. Beaten and threatened, yes — on multiple occasions. But never executed with a single bullet to the heart or head, as befell Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírova in their home late last week.
Ján, 27, was a talented investigative journalist whose focus was politically-related fraud. We first came into contact in 2012, as he was finishing his bachelor’s degree in journalism at a university in Nitra, about an hour from Bratislava. I had just been fired from my job with a business weekly and was being very publicly sued for my reporting on the Gorilla file, a high-level #corruption story dating back to 2006.
[…]
In the past year our roles reversed: I moved to Canada, and it was he who made crucial progress on another story we had both independently been pursuing, the fraudulent payment of EU transfer funds to Italian nationals resident in Slovakia and with alleged ties to the ‘Ndrangheta, the organized crime group from Calabria.
[…]
As every journalist knows, the most dangerous part of the job always arrives just before publication, when the subject of your exposé knows you are working on him and has a brief window of time to avoid being accused by name. No one knows, at this moment, if this calculation was in fact behind Ján and Martina’s murder. But Slovak organized crime has never killed reporters, even in the bad old days. Whereas Italy’s mafia gangs have shown no such compunctions.
Slovak police chief Tibor Gašpar has said Ján’s murder is probably related to his work.

Jan Kuciak, journaliste de 27 ans, a été abattu dans sa maison, à Velka Maca, en Slovaquie. Sa compagne, Martina Kusnirova, a également été tuée. Notre confrère travaillait pour le média en ligne Aktuality.sk, où il suivait de près les affaires importantes qui concernaient la fraude fiscale. En septembre, Jan Kuciak avait déposé plainte contre un homme d’affaires sur lequel il enquêtait, Marian Kocner, qui l’aurait menacé. « Cela fait quarante-quatre jours que j’ai porté plainte contre MK pour menaces. Et pourtant, mon cas n’a probablement jamais encore été examiné », s’était plaint cet automne le reporter. « Si la mort du journaliste était liée à son travail, il s’agirait d’une attaque sans précédent contre la liberté de la presse et la démocratie », a réagi hier le premier ministre slovaque Robert Fico. C’est le deuxième journaliste tué dans l’Union européenne en moins d’un an. En octobre, la blogueuse Daphne Caruana Galizia, qui enquêtait sur des affaires de corruption dans son pays, Malte, avait été assassinée. G.D.S.
Gaël De Santis
Il s’appelait Ján Kuciak, et il avait 27 ans. Journaliste travaillant pour le site Aktuality .sk, il a été abattu ce week-end – et sa compagne aussi – de plusieurs balles.
L’événement s’est déroulé à Veľká Mača, à 50 kilomètres de Bratislava, la capitale de la Slovaquie. La disparition du journaliste d’investigation a été confirmée par le ministère de l’intérieur au journal Dennik N, lundi 26 février au matin. « Ján Kuciak s’était spécialisé dans les enquêtes portant sur des affaires de fraude fiscale à grande échelle. Son dernier article portait d’ailleurs sur les activités de Marián Kočner, un entrepreneur slovaque controversé en raison de ses liens avec plusieurs responsables politiques », indique Reporters sans frontières, qui exhorte les autorités du pays à faire « toute la lumière sur cette affaire ».
« C’est la cinquième fois en dix ans qu’un journaliste est assassiné dans l’Union européenne. Le meurtre de Ján Kuciak survient après celui de la journaliste d’investigation et blogueuse maltaise Daphne Caruana Galizia le 16 octobre 2017, le massacre des sept journalistes de Charlie Hebdo le 7 janvier 2015 à Paris, l’assassinat du journaliste grec Socratis Guiolias, abattu à l’arme automatique devant son domicile en 2010 et celui du Croate Ivo Pukanic, tué dans l’explosion de sa voiture devant les bureaux de son journal en 2008 », précise l’organisation de défense des journalistes.

The most valuable military real estate in the world – POLITICO
▻https://www.politico.eu/blogs/the-coming-wars/2018/01/the-most-valuable-military-real-estate-in-the-world
As France — the first to maintain a military presence in the country — slowly abandons its bases due to budgetary constraints, others have been moving in. The United States recently opened a second base on Chabelley Airfield — unmentioned in its public list of overseas bases — after its drones interfered with air traffic at Camp Lemonnier.
The country hosts China and Japan’s only foreign military bases. There’s an Italian base too and Saudi Arabia is building one as well. #Djibouti has made overtures to Turkey. And, according to Mohammed, (and later an second independent source) Russia has made inquiries.
India too is rumored to be considering the possibility of acquiring a block of the most prized military real estate in the world. If it does, every major global power will have a Djibouti footprint and the country will resemble a live model of state conflict in the 21st century.
