¿Por qué siento que en Latinoamérica vivimos más como en un internet prestado?

Zuckerberg admitted creating #Facebook to stalk ivy league women. #Meta takes money from fascist #psyops that spred disinfo about Russia in #Ukraine, parseltongued #Brexit and ended in #genocide in #Myanmar and #Gaza. all the while supporting a fascist revival in USA, led by a #FriendOfEpstein and accused rapist of girls and women.

so #tech journalists should be asking:

how can a company Protect The Children when it makes stalkerware, used by fascists & the CEO supports an accused pedophile.

🔺 NUEVA DEMANDA COLECTIVA CONTRA META

Cinco editoriales (Hachette, Macmillan, McGraw Hill, Elsevier y Cengage) junto al autor Scott Turow afirman que Mark Zuckerberg «autorizó personalmente y fomentó activamente» la violación masiva de derechos de autor para entrenar sus sistemas de IA, como LLaMA

[ "One of the most massive infringements of copyrighted materials in history" ]

> #Meta has threatened to block access to #Instagram, #Facebook and #WhatsApp in New Mexico, which would be an unprecedented move in its home country. The ultimatum, made in a court filing this week, comes after the company was found liable and fined $375m for #ChildSafety failures in a landmark lawsuit brought by the state’s attorney general.

Deal Signed For Vietnam To Supply Rice To The Philippines

On the sidelines of the recent summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a new agreement was signed for Vietnam to supply the Philippines with 1.5 million metric tons of rice which will last until April 2027, according to a news report by the Manila Standard.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Standard report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines and Vietnam signed a new rice supply agreement on Thursday during high-level bilateral talks on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Cebu City, as Manila moves to secure stable imports amid rising global uncertainties.

Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said the Philippines secured a one-year agreement for the supply of 1.5 million metric tons of rice from Vietnam, ensuring uninterrupted shipments through April 2027. The deal helps stabilize the domestic market against geopolitical risks and climate-related production threats.

“Securing import volumes until next April is crucial amid geopolitical uncertainties and climate risks,” Tiu Laurel said, noting that stable supply is essential to keeping rice prices manageable in the domestic market.

Both sides finalized pricing and logistics arrangements and agreed on a benchmark price of $450 per metric ton for the widely consumed DT8 rice variety. Vietnam remains the Philippines’ largest rice supplier and accounts for the bulk of the country’s imported grain requirements.

Tiu Laurel said Manila is prioritizing reliable supply channels as regional demand continues to rise, fueled partly by tensions in the Middle East and concerns over possible production disruptions from another El Niño episode. He added that Vietnam seeks a long-term trade framework covering rice and other agricultural commodities.

“Even the Vietnamese prime minister consistently highlighted this during the bilateral meeting,” Tiu Laurel said.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vietnam Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng pushed the deal during the latter’s first ASEAN Summit appearance in Cebu. The two leaders also commemorated the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the 2 countries while discussing expanded cooperation in trade, tourism, agriculture and investment.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the new rice supply agreement between the Philippines and Vietnam ensures food security for the Filipino people? Have you ever tasted rice imported from Vietnam? Do you think the Philippines should focus more on harvesting a lot more local rice grain and support more domestic rice farmers to ensure a better internal supply?
