CORRECTION: The 5/29 edition of Pluralistic quoted $20k Rebyota; this was the rumored pre-release price; the actual average wholesale price is $10.8k. Thanks to Benjamin Jolley for catching this error, and to Stephen Skolnick for getting to the bottom of it.

2/ I'd say the joint statement on commercial #spyware is unprecedented.

A few years ago spyware like #Pegasus was was treated as a human rights issue.

But the dizzying speed of proliferation made big problems for governments, forcing them to prepare positions & action.
3/ The statement's commitment guardrails for accountable domestic #spyware use is important.

But devil will be in the implementations. Civil society will be watching.

(Note: issue wasn't covered in White House Spyware Executive Order on Monday, so nice to see USA commit here) Image

La Lic. Eugenia Quesada es una abogada que durante años ha sido una defensora de los derechos de los hombres en Costa Rica. Image
Actualmente está luchando para que se cambie la ley que obliga a los padres que dan pensión alimentaria a pagarle un aguinaldo para los hijos mayores de edad.
Cómo sé que me siguen de muchos países donde quizás esto no sucede, voy a explicar en qué consiste este abuso absurdo contra los hombres en #CostaRica (y de paso me cuentan si en su país pasa igual).

"We face a new kind of warfare,no longer constrained by borders or military maneuvers" @SecMayorkas tells @csis_isp, using #NotPetya as a prime example

"We face a very different world than the one our then-new Department of Homeland Security entered in 2003, nearly 20 years ago"
"Ubiquitous cutting-edge technologies, economic & political instability, and our globalized economy have erased borders & increasingly bring threats & challenges directly into our communities" per @SecMayorkas "Our homeland security has converged w/our broader nat'l security"

What do 🇨🇴Colombia, 🇬🇷Greece, and 🇬🇧the United Kingdom have in common?
They’re 3 of 9 countries with low taxes you’d never expect.
Let’s help you go where you’re treated best: nomadcapitalist.com/finance/10-cou….
#lowtax #taxfree #WealthManagement
🇬🇧In the #UK, if your taxable income is over £150,000, you’ll have to pay 45% income tax.

But your foreign-sourced income may be tax-exempt if you are a non-domiciled resident in the UK. You will have remittance of paying taxes during the first 15 years (soon will be 5)
🇮🇪#Ireland's tax system is based on residence, so there is no tax on worldwide income for nonresidents (if you decide you don’t want to live in Ireland during your residence). However, getting permanent residence in Ireland means you will be taxed on Irish-sourced income

Now in #UNGA, vote to join UN "Human Rights" Council on which China & #Cameroon sit. Only 2 competitions: LatAm & Caribbean: #Chile, #CostaRica & #Venezuela (3 for 2 seats); Asia: #Afghanistan, #Bangladesh, #Kyrgyzstan, #Maldives, #Korea, #Vietnam (6 for 4 seats)
Already, it is exposed that candidates are handing out gifts (bribes) at the doorway of #UNGA. The UN is ever more corrupt under @antonioguterres - Inner City Press used to live stream this bribery, until Guterres had it thrown out pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
It's Singapore, asking @UN_PGA @Csaba_Korosi_ to do his job and stop the bribery in #UNGA. Doubt he will - he has adopted @antonioguterres' censorship of Press, so why not this? Now, after gifts given, Korosi says he's shocked, like in Casablanca

Los choferes de los buses de las rutas de Guadalupe están de huelga por que los dueños de la empresa no les dan tiempo de almuerzo y café, además que las únidades con las que trabajan no reciben correcto mantenimiento. aguante señores!
#guada #guadalupe #goicoechea #CostaRica Image
La empresa de buses de Guadalupe ha estado despidiendo a los empleados que reclaman las malas condiciones.
A algunos choferes de la Empresa Guadalupe LTDA les toca orinar y hasta defecar en tarros, bolsas y botellas por qué en ciertas rutas no hay donde y el patrón no les da el mínimo acceso a cosas tan básicas como un baño en las terminales, donde a veces tienen que esperar horas.
