Among Us
In America, a benefit stream of the hit game "Among Us" raised $ 200,000. It was an initiative of the American politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She wrote this on Twitter. It was the second time she had done this. Before the US election, she had already streamed it online to get people to vote. Now she has collaborated with well-known YouTubers such as Contrapoints, HasanAbi, Jacksepticeye and the left-wing politician from Canada, Jagmeet Singh. This time she did it for all the people affected by the Corona virus.
The Netherlands / Google
In the Netherlands, the Consumers' Association is going to court. They think it takes far too long for the "Dutch Data Protection Authority" to handle a complaint about a privacy violation from Google. The complaint concerns the Android phones where the location function is automatically activated without the user knowing. This complaint was already filed in 2018 together with an enforcement request.
UK Government / Huawei
On Sunday evening, the British government decided that the British telecom providers are no longer allowed to install Huawei equipment for 5G. Bloomberg reports this. This would only take effect from the end of September next year. But from April next year, no services may be outsourced to the Chinese tech giant. The United Kingdom has wanted to get rid of Huawei for some time because they consider this a high-risk supplier.
