[Africa Check] Viral 'U$57.5bn loan' to Nigerian Biafra secessionists not true

[The Conversation Africa] We're increasingly aware of how misinformation can influence elections. About 73% of Americans report seeing misleading election news, and about half struggle to discern what is true or false.

February 9, 2006 – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has announced that her office has launched an identity theft hotline. The hotline will be staffed with consumer advocates, with the specific task of assisting victims with repairing their credit. It is the first service of its kind offered by any state in the country.

December 16, 2005 – In a stunning defeat for the White House, the Senate failed to end a filibuster that is preventing a vote to make sixteen provisions of the Patriot Act permanent law. The provisions, which give the government sweeping search and seizure powers, are due to expire at the end of this month. But a grass roots movement combined with news of abuses of power on the part of the administration, have given civil rights activists real hope that the provisions will never make it to a vote.

January 9, 2006 - On Friday, Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich announced that he wants to ban the unauthorized sale of phone records within his state. The practice, know in the industry as “pretexting”, occurs when someone pretending to be the phone company’s customer calls the phone company and gains access to all of the call information available for the actual customer. Surprisingly, no state currently outlaws this practice. And disturbingly, this lack of regulation has seen the birth of a new cottage industry that allows nearly anyone the purchase the phone records of any person they desire.

January 12, 2006 – New Hampshire’s State Supreme Court has set aside portions of a 2004 state law that protected financial records revealed in divorce proceedings from prying eyes. The law had allowed judges to seal financial records of parties involved in a divorce for any reason.

January 16, 2006 - In 2004, Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act. As innocuous as the title sounds, it contained a provision allowing the IRS to outsource collection efforts to private contractors. But both the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) are questioning the wisdom of this; saying that the move may jeopardize personal privacy and lead to cases of fraud and identity theft.

February 15, 2006 – If you think you don’t have much in the way of financial privacy right now, you are correct. Banks can disclose your information to their affiliate companies without your permission (You can thank Congress for that). Database companies gather, store and resell your information (including your Social Security Number) to the highest bidder. But if you think financial privacy is lacking already, the Bush Administration is trying to hard to make the situation even worse. If they get their way, copies of your credit card bills and your ATM card purchases will be sent straight to the IRS. So much for due process!

January 11, 2006 – If you are missing an old tax refund and wondering when it will show up, the answer may be “never”. That is because the IRS now uses software to identify possible cases of “refund fraud”. Unfortunately, the software appears to be error prone and tax payers are getting caught in the middle.

Depuis l’annonce d’un FPS Indiana Jones développé par MachineGames (la série Wolfenstein depuis 2014), certains membres de la rédaction étaient fébriles.

C’est pourquoi […]

Today podcasting got 'Wired' with an article called 'Podcasts: New Twist on Net Audio'. Shortly afterwards Cnet published the article 'Building a 21st century radio'. Dave Slusher was interviewed for the Wired article and has some comments. A month ago i googled 'podcasting', which gave me around 15-20 results. Now it's exactly 13.000. Interesting to see the impact of these two articles.
