+		<description>&lt;p&gt;The leaders of the worlds have started to congratulate the
+re-elected Russian head of state, and this causes some criticism.  I
+am though a little fascinated by a comment from USA senator John McCain,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/379339-mccain-rips-trumps-congratulatory-call-to-putin-as-insult-to-russian-people&quot;&gt;sited
+by The Hill and others&lt;/a&gt;:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&quot;An American president does not lead the Free World by
+congratulating dictators on winning sham elections.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;While I totally agree with the senator here, the way the quote is
+phrased make me suspect that he is unaware of the simple fact that USA
+have not lead the Free World since at least before its government
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar&quot;&gt;kidnapped a
+completely innocent Canadian citizen in transit on his way home to
+Canada via John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 and
+sent him to be tortured in Syria for a year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;USA might be running ahead, but the path they are taking is not the
+one taken by any Free World.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;So, Cambridge Analytica is getting some well deserved criticism for
+(mis)using information it got from Facebook about 50 million people,
+mostly in the USA.  What I find a bit surprising, is how little
+criticism Facebook is getting for handing the information over to
+Cambridge Analytica and others in the first place.  And what about the
+people handing their private and personal information to Facebook?
+And last, but not least, what about the government offices who are
+handing information about the visitors of their web pages to Facebook?
+No-one who looked at the terms of use of Facebook should be surprised
+that information about peoples interests, political views, personal
+lifes and whereabouts would be sold by Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;What I find to be the real scandal is the fact that Facebook is
+selling your personal information, not that one of the buyers used it
+in a way Facebook did not approve when exposed.  It is well known that
+Facebook is selling out their users privacy, but a scandal
+nevertheless.  Of course the information provided to them by Facebook
+would be misused by one of the parties given access to personal
+information about the millions of Facebook users.  Collected
+information will be misused sooner or later.  The only way to avoid
+such misuse, is to not collect the information in the first place.  If
+you do not want Facebook to hand out information about yourself for
+the use and misuse of its customers, do not give Facebook the
+information.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
+account, and take back some control of your personal information.
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely&quot;&gt;According
+to The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
+account removal (and not just &#39;disabling&#39;).  You need to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content&quot;&gt;visit
+a specific Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; and click on &#39;let us know&#39; on that page
+to get to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account&quot;&gt;the
+real account deletion screen&lt;/a&gt;.  Perhaps something to consider?  I
+would not trust the information to really be deleted (who knows,
+perhaps NSA, GCHQ and FRA already got a copy), but it might reduce the
+exposure a bit.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to learn more about the capabilities of Cambridge
+Analytica, I recommend to see the video recording of the one hour talk
+Paul-Olivier Dehaye gave to &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt; last april about
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/&quot;&gt;
+Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
+politics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
+use some end-to-end encrypted method like
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.signal.org/&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; or
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://ring.cx/&quot;&gt;Ring&lt;/a&gt;, and stop sharing your private
+messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.&lt;/p&gt;
