For some odd reason people consider it to be normal to be very very violated when it comes down to their personal privacy.

* No one should point the camera at your face without your permission.
* No one should sell you a device which has a camera pointed at your face 24 hours a day and you just accept it
* No one should sell you a device with a battery permanently sealed in it but that's another story and another storyline
* No one should ever sell you the snake oil telling you that it's normal to have a camera pointed at your face 24/7

It's not 🚫 normal!

Now go and protect your identity cover that lens!

When was the last time you've properly used the camera on your Android?

No I'm not talking about the camera which points at the scenery, I'm talking about the camera which points straight to your face 24 hours a day every time you pick your Android up.

¿Well? I'm waiting.

About 990 out of 1000 people will answer this wrong.

The only proper way of using that camera is making sure that it can only record images of your face when you absolutely want to

That means that you need to put a piece of electrical isolation tape in front of the lens of the camera and it should be like that for most of the day.

Any other manner means that you do not know anything about securing yourself and about protecting your identity.

Do you consider it normal to have a barrel of a firearm pointed at your face 24 hours a day?

The question is rhetorical

Now please follow suit and do like I have done it for decades;

The only time when the camera is pointed at me, is when I want to; if I don't I either cover it, or shove the person who puts the camera in my face in such a manner that they drop it immediately, or else!

A review of what #Trump did to #Ukraine in the past 24 hours should be a big lesson to any #US #ally or purchaser of US #weapons systems.

- halted congressionally authorized #ammo and weapons deliveries
- halted #intelligence sharing, alerts, which save lives every day
- pressuring European #allies to abandon Ukraine
- halted targeting abilities of Ukraine's most advanced weapons systems at the #front

Now Ukrainians wait until #airdefense systems run out of ammo.

Ukrainische Soldaten an der Front: "Wir brauchen eine Pause"

Die Ukraine braucht dringend Zehntausende neue Rekruten. Doch weil die fehlen, müssen die Soldaten an der Front oft jahrelang fast pausenlos kämpfen. Manche fürchten den Zusammenbruch - andere verstecken sich oder fliehen. Von Rebecca Barth.
