Just finished #IAmNotYourNegro (http://www.iamnotyournegrofilm.com). An incredible and crushing doc. Wish all could watch it; if you can, please do.

Also, it’s available to stream for free on #HooplaDigital (https://www.hoopladigital.com) and #Kanopy (https://www.kanopy.com/product/i-am-not-your-negro) if your library supports those services!

“Millions of Chinese nationals have been blocked from booking flights or trains as Beijing seeks to implement its controversial “social credit” system, which allows the government to closely monitor and judge each of its 1.3 billion citizens based on their behaviour and activity.

The system, to be rolled out by 2020, aims to make it “difficult to move” for those deemed “untrustworthy”, according to a detailed plan published by the government this week.”

Credit freezes are now free as of yesterday! https://old.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/9hlps3/credit_freezes_are_now_free_starting_today

Thankful that we can block all that shit easily with #uBlockOrigin (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#installation).

If you're on mobile use a free and open-source web browser with ad and tracking blocking to visit Amazon.com instead of using the Amazon app. #DuckDuckGo for #iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duckduckgo-privacy-browser/id663592361) and #Firefox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox) + uBlockOrigin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin) for #Android are worth trying.
