Maureen Lipman writes in the Jewish Chronicle - "Does the world have any idea of how tired the people of Israel are?
A dear friend told me that his grandchildren have needed to enter their safe room more than 200 times since the current battle began."
I wonder if Ms Lipman has ever stopped to consider where the 'safe rooms' are for the Palestinian people?
What an unfeeling cow.
A privacy notice is not consent. Reading a multi-page document written by corporate lawyers just to find out how you're being tracked isn't "agreeing" to anything. It is a digital ransom note.
True consent is:
Granular: I choose exactly what you see.
Revocable: I can take it back at any time.
Opt-in: Off by default, always.
Stop confusing notifying us with asking us.

I saw this in the wild. The Google discover feed showed me a headline for a 4h-old Guardian article where the Google link/headline said the Iranian leader Khamenei had been killed by a US bomb strike and I thought "Wow! Already? He's only just taken over for his dead dad!"
And that really would have been news except that wasn't what the article was about at all. It was about the US not knowing who to negotiate with now that they've overturned the anthill. It only referenced the killing of the _elder_ Khamenei at the start of the war a few weeks ago, and that reference was more than 3/4 of the way through the article, in background information. I was gob-smacked that Google would do such a thing. It's awful, a full betrayal.
