Google takes right to be forgotten battle to France's highest court

News link

Google has delisted about 600000 search results after requests of doing so had been made in Europe, but these results appear anywhere outside Europe, because its law has no power there. 
However, CNIL thought this wasn't enough, and required google to apply the right to be forgotten worldwide. The firm has rejected the request, thus starting a 10 month of fights that lead to today appellation. 
Ken Walker, Google’s general counsel states that laws will be complied inside the countries in which these laws must be complied. The CNIL thinks that for right to be forgotten to be effective, information must be filtered globally.

The right to be forgotten is a difficult law to apply, and will lead to controversy and ethical disputes. I think Google should protect his database.

The CNIL doesn't have jurisdiction to dictate global laws nor control over any kind of activity carried out by google outside its domains. Google have the right to appeal, otherwise, the trust of the information could be manipulated by any country.

Don't try this at home: Colin Furze's crazy homemade hoverbike

News link

The hoverboards aren't a new thing. Many enterprises had made a lot of prototypes. Some of these are more complete than others, and can operate better. But one guy called Colin Furze make a homemade hoverbike with the financing of Ford.

The initial design had two motors and propellors mounted to the bottom of the frame and turning in the same direction, but this didn't go well and Furze switched to an S-shaped metal frame that allowed each propeller to rotate in opposite directions.

Although this crazy invention seems that it can't fly and looks close to crashing, this guy is able to control it but is difficult because with a simple spin the hoverboard moves too. Colin wants to incorporate more things like a stabilization system, but the machine can't hold this weight yet.

I saw more of his inventions and all of them are magnificent and crazy at the same time. If you imagine a crazy inventor, Colin Furze is your man.

Hacker advertises details of 117 million LinkedIn users on darknet

News link

A hacker who allegedly owns the log information of over 100 million LinkedIn users is advertising the data for sale for the price of 5 bitcoins, approximately £1,500.

The data was hacked 4 years ago, and LinkedIn had reset the affected accounts. However, the amount of affected users is greater than what it expected.

Cory Scott, information security officer of the firm does not believe that this information was obtained through a security breach. The site is taking steps to invalidate the passwords of the accounts affected.

£1,500 are a bargain if we are talking about the information of more than 100 million users. The malicious possibilities of so much information are infinite. It seems like Cory Scott is trying to protect his workplace after this massive security breach, because I don’t know how a hacker can obtain the passwords without internet.

China's Massive Pollution is Indicative of Broader Problems

China have a severe crisis about his enviroment because most of the cities have too much pollution in the air and in some cities it was 50 times the level the World Health Organization considers safe. But unfurtanetly seems that the Chinese goverment is unaware of this big problem.

In 2013 was celebrate the sixth annual Beijing Human Rights Forum. The theme was environmental rights. But the problem is that you can’t have meaningful environmental rights without other basic rights. And the Chinese government is violating them.

China have around 450 cancer villages (communities near factories or chemical plants where cancer rates far exceed national averages), but if this people ask for help to the govern they are ignored.

Although Beijing announced a commitment to addressing the environmental problem in China, the country have already many environmental protection laws, but they weren't apply.

All know about the big problem that China have with the pollution, but I think it's too difficult to solve because the Government always permit everything to the enterprises if these pay to it. And the Goverment are agree that the enterprises come to China because the value of the country rise but the people continue poor.

Human Rights

If all the people had the same privilleges the world would a beutifull place. But it is not true because if you go out of the Western World you will see images that you won't believe.If you think that poor people in your country are miserable you can't imagine what  the people that are poor feel in a poor country. And if you see the television the human rights of most of these people are violated. Human righs are only the rights you have simply because we are human. The human rights was created after the Second World War by the United Nations for in the future didn't do things like the past. But why, these people don't have anyone of all the thirty?

Well, this have a simply answer: We have the fault. Because we don't punish and we do nothing about the people that treat they like things only for make a profit for them. And the law most times can't do nothing about it. All of us know about the inequality of this world, but only few people have the mind for change this.

• Freedom from unlawful detainment: Llibertat per detenció il·legal.
• Fair and public trial: Judici just i plublic.
• Fair employment and right to unionize: Treball just i dret a sindicalització.

Peter Byrne in his 22 years have a cerebral palsy. He is a gamer who enjoys play videogames in the Playstation.

But unfortunately the controller of the Playstation 4 have one touchpad that was a problem for him because his tremors made that he touched it several times when he was playing and this paused the game.

For this reason Peter contacted with Sony and explained his problem about the controller. Alex Nawabi from Sony's marketing team said he would investigate. He modified a Dual Shock 4 controller and sent it Peter Byrne. Nawabi said it took him around 10 hours and three attempts to create the new controller. But it only is a prototype and he didn't know he time that it will work.

Mr. Byrne is thankful with his present and with Alex Nawabi and now he can play normally how previously he did.

Thanks people like Alex Nawabi other people can enjoy the thing that he like to do. Because I don't think that a enterprise like Sony most of them don't thinks with these people that can't enjoy their products like a normal person.

'Captain America: Civil War' trailer marks debut of Tom Holland's Spider-Man

News link

This Thursday Marvel Studios publicated a new trailer of Captain America: Civil War, that shows us that Spider Man will be in the film played by actor Tom Holland. This isn't the first film that Holland plays a character in the Big Screen, but will have the pressure to equal the two previous Spider Man.

In the trailer you can see him taking the shield of the Captain. It means that Spider Man will be in the Iron Man's team at first.

I said team because the Marvel heroes will be confronted because the government make the decision to reign in superheroes and the Captain America doesn't agree this initiative but Iron Man accept it. And this started a dispute between superheroes.
