Un docu de Aude Fabre de la chaine Aude WTFake et Sylvain Louvet, sur le financement des sites de fake news :
– par les dons sur les plateformes, notamment Ulule et Tipeee en France
– et surtout par les publicités (des millions chaque années)

Pour les dons, les patrons de Tipeee (dont Michael Goldman, fils de JJ) ont un argumentaire exactement Lacambrien : ils sont hébergeurs d’un service, et ils défendront quiconque l’utilise tant que c’est pas illégal selon la loi, et il le dit noir sur blanc : il assume tout, « du plus antisémite au moins antisémite, du plus complotiste au moins complotiste ». C’est beau de défendre abstraitement la liberté, mais ces gens gagnent concrètement des milliers d’euros de commission grace à ces versements, donc c’est pas pour la beauté du geste. Le patron d’Ulule lui, a au final reversé l’intégralité du pourcentage de CA généré par Hold Up (7000€ pour Ulule) a une asso anti désinformation.

Pour la publicité, c’est Google 99% du temps, et techniquement il est parfaitement possible de bloquer l’envoi des pubs sur tel ou tel site, aussi bien par Google que par les annonceurs. Il s’agit de la principale source de financement de tous ces sites. Certains gagnent des centaines de milliers chaque mois, juste avec ça. Si on coupe cette source, il est à peu près certain qu’il y en aurait beaucoup moins.

Des nouvelles trop charmantes du capitalisme au pays du shithole country: ‘I hope I make it’: 7-year-old Alabama girl selling lemonade to fund her own brain surgeries
▻https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/i-hope-i-make-it-7-year-old-alabama-girl-selling-lemonade-to-fund-her-own-bra

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Savage’s Bakery in Homewood is now serving a new kind of lemonade–a special concoction customers won’t find on their regular menu.

Liza Scott, the 7-year-old daughter of owner Elizabeth Scott, has set up a lemonade stand inside the bakery. Because when life gave her lemons…

She made lemonade.

For her customers, these tasty, thirst-quenching treats are just that. But for Liza, they’re a sign of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. The proceeds from each glass of lemonade will help fund Liza’s upcoming brain surgeries.

“She has three cerebral malformations,” Scott said. “One is what they call a schizencephaly. So it’s a cleft in the frontal lobe in the right side of her brain, and we think that’s what causing the seizures.”

It was less than a month ago that Liza began having Grand Mal seizures. Weeks later, doctors learned this “spunky, loving, fearless, bright, happy girl” has an “extra special brain.”

“In most every instance of these rare malformations doctors only see one malformation — in Liza’s case she has 3,” Scott wrote on Liza’s Mightycause page.

Next week, Liza and her mother will fly to Boston Children’s Hospital for the first of a series of surgeries.

“I can’t handle it. So, I hope I make it,” Liza said. “My mom keeps saying I’m going to, but I feel like I’m not.”

Elizabeth Scott says she’s still processing this reality and is leaning on her faith to stay strong.

‘I’m not that strong, I’m just brave’: Boy not expected to live past infancy defies odds
“You know, in the moments that I feel like I can’t breathe, or I’m awake in the night and I can’t sleep, I pray,” she said. “I’m on my hands and knees, literally, praying.”

Elizabeth Scott purchased additional insurance to help pay for Liza’s brain surgeries. But with travel and hotel costs heaped on top of medical expenses, the family is already nearing $10,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.

“As a single mom and the financial supporter of both of my children, this is not something you can budget for,” Scott said.

So in addition to selling the tastiest lemonade around, the Scotts are also looking for donations. As of Thursday afternoon, they have reached nearly $6,000. If you would like to help donate to Liza’s fund, click here.

En tendant le miroir à 5 générations d’hommes, on veut prendre la mesure des transformations produites sous l’effet du féminisme. On peut espérer qu’une majorité d’entre eux les acceptent, on observe que certains y contribuent même et sont des alliés, mais on sait aussi que d’autres les refusent et considèrent toujours les femmes comme des corps « à disposition ».

Avec Les mâles du siècle, nous espérons contribuer à ce que les hommes prennent leur part dans la lutte contre les inégalités, discriminations et violences faites aux femmes.

In April 2014, I was raped by police officers in Paris, France. After a five year legal battle, we finally went to trial in January 2019 and the two officers charged, Nicolas Redouane and Antoine Quirin, were found guilty and sentenced to 7 years in prison.

They have appealed and, according to French law, an appeal is actually a 2nd trial. My attorneys have worked tirelessly for years and this case consumes their firm - they deserve fair payment for their work. I am unable to work since the rape and Canadian legal aid wont assist the victim, therefore I need assistance to ensure I receive the same level of representation at the 2nd trial.

Tu sais que Nina Faure prépare un nouveau documentaire sur le plaisir féminin ? Et qu’il y a besoin de sousous.

Le plaisir féminin
▻http://www.cp-productions.fr/le-plaisir-feminin

Nina Faure et Yéléna Perret, deux jeunes femmes en plein cœur d’une nouvelle vague féministe, cherchent à comprendre pourquoi l’émancipation promise depuis les années 70 n’est pas encore là. Elles participent à la ré-écriture de Notre corps, nous-mêmes, un manuel sur la santé des femmes, basé sur de renversantes discussions collectives qui en disent long sur la bataille en cours. Nina Faure mène l’enquête auprès de chercheuses, médecins, philosophes et militantes : les hommes et les femmes sont-ils désormais égaux ? Que reste-t-il à faire ? Ensemble, et avec d’autres, elles vont raconter depuis l’intérieur la lutte des femmes dans une époque en plein questionnement sur l’égalité des sexes, imaginer un nouvel horizon d’émancipation et tenter de construire un programme secret pour abolir le patriarcat… dans la sexualité pour commencer.

Plus de douze ans que les ouvriers syndicalistes de Ford Blanquefort résistent à la fermeture de leur usine, et bientôt trois ans que nous les suivons avec nos caméras dans l’intimité de leur groupe. Aujourd’hui, l’usine devrait fermer, et c’est pour certains l’histoire professionnelle, humaine et syndicale de toute une vie qui se termine. Pour nous, il s’agit donc de mener à terme un film, d’abord comme témoignage de la lutte qu’ils ont menée, mais aussi pour comprendre avec eux ce qu’ils ont affronté : le management et la stratégie de l’une des plus grandes multinationales automobiles.

As we all know capital is still considered one of the biggest barriers when entering real estate investments simply because you haven’t created any value yet to collateralized a loan, it simply doesn’t allow you to borrow any funds as a startup. Luckily for us, real estate crowdfunding platforms have opened its doors towards more opportunity for real estate investments.According to Forbes, real estate crowdfunding continues to be a dynamic and ever-evolving industry, growing to an estimated $3.5 billion in 2016. By 2025, the crowdfunding industry as a whole is anticipated to be valued at more than $300 billion and online real estate marketplaces are primed to capitalize on that explosive growth.So let’s go over on how Crowdfunding works.What is Crowdfunding?Crowdfunding is a way of (...)

How Much Money Does Tokenisation Actually Save?

There is much talk about the benefits of tokenisation, primarily in application to capital markets (so-called “security tokens”). But how much benefit are we talking about? Let’s draw a quick outline, roughly.In the diagram above, you can see the typical equity #crowdfunding operator’s task. Grey circles are “sub-accounts”; the money goes through a sub-account from the particular investor to the particular project and back (as interest or dividends). Each horizontal line of sub-accounts represents a “project bank” where the money accumulates to reach the cap, to prepare for the quarterly distribution, etc.This function allows operators to easily manipulate money amongst separate “wallets” and it comes at a cost. But how much? Before we calculate, let’s note one thing: it seems pretty obvious, but (...)

Compliance will be a big focus for the crypto industry in 2019The year 2018 was a total disaster for the crypto world. In a space where the focus seems to be price and price alone, the general feeling was that of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).The effect of this global downtrend was never more apparent than for ICOs. Initial Coin Offerings started 2018 with a bang, by 2nd quarter of 2018 alone, they managed to snag 10 times more than the cumulative sum of investments from ICOs of Q1–2 2017. However, in the span of a year, the ICO investments per month — went from more than $1 Billion in January being invested, to just $179 Million in November.On top of this, the US SEC’s recent outings against ICOs, has rocked the world of cryptocurrencies and promoting more FUD.

You own a startup, or an office building in Manhattan, and you’ve heard a lot of buzz about turning your asset into a security token. You likely have many questions, such as “What is a security token?”, “Why should I use a security token?”, and “How do I do that?”. I am going to help answer those questions and explain why issuing a security token is just a faster, more modern, and more valuable extension of a traditional security issuance.What is a security token?A “security token” is legally identical to a traditional security. The only difference between a security and a security token is the manner in which ownership is recorded. Simply put, a security token is a security that has been turned into a digital asset on a #blockchain. If that sounds foreign to you, take a look at this helpful (...)

Investment platforms vie to capture a share of global #remittances

Investment platforms are vying to capture a share of global remittances
IN 2016 AYO ADEWUNMI, a Nigerian-born agricultural trader living in London, bought a five-hectare farm in
his homeland. It has produced little since. “I am not in the country, so I have to rely on third parties. It’s just
not good enough,” he says.
Mr Adewunmi has since discovered another, potentially more satisfactory way to make such investments:
through #FarmCrowdy (▻https://www.farmcrowdy.com), a crowdfunding platform that lends to Nigerian farms and provides technical
assistance to their owners. The two-year-old startup, which is considering expanding into Ghana, places high
hopes in the African diaspora as a source of funds.
The case for such platforms goes beyond agriculture. Global remittances are expected to soar from $468bn
in 2010 to $667bn in 2019. They are among the top two foreign-currency sources in several countries,
including Kenya and the Philippines. Yet hardly any of the money is invested.
In part, this is because recipients use three-quarters of the money for basics such as food and housing. But it
is also because emigrants who want to invest back home have few options. New investment channels could
attract lots of extra cash—about $73bn a year in Commonwealth countries alone, according to research by
the 53-country grouping.

Crowdfunding platforms would enable investors to put modest sums directly into smaller businesses in
developing countries, which are often cash-starved. Yet of the emerging world’s 85 debt- and
equity-crowdfunding ventures, only a handful raise money abroad. Several platforms set up in rich countries
over the past decade to invest in developing countries, including Emerging Crowd, Homestrings and Enable
Impact, quickly folded.
A big problem is that few developing countries have rules about crowdfunding. Many have allowed activity
so far chiefly because the industry is so small, says Anton Root of Allied Crowds, a consultancy. Cross-border
transfers using such platforms easily fall foul of rich countries’ rules intended to stop money-laundering and
the financing of terrorism.
Some developing countries have realised that they need to act. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia
have all recently passed regulations on equity crowdfunding or peer-to-peer lending. But from a
cross-border perspective, Africa seems most inventive, owing to active entrepreneurs and Western help.

Last month the British government approved a grant of £230,000 ($300,000) to the African Crowdfunding
Association to help it craft model accreditation and investor-protection rules. Elizabeth Howard of
LelapaFund, a platform focused on east Africa, is part of an effort to see such rules adopted across the
continent. That would help reassure sending countries that transfers do not end up in the wrong hands, she
says. She hopes to enlist the support of the Central Bank of West African States, which oversees eight
Francophone countries, at a gathering of crowdfunders and regulators sponsored by the French
government in Dakar, in Senegal, this month.
Thameur Hemdane of Afrikwity, a platform targeting Francophone Africa, says the industry will also study
whether prospective laws could be expanded to the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, a
grouping of six countries. Harmonised rules will not guarantee crowdfunders’ success, but would be a useful
step towards raising the amount of diaspora capital that is put to productive use.
