Peter Thiel, American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and hedge fund manager.
Adam Jeffery | CNBC
Peter Thiel is Silicon Valley's homegrown Cassandra. He warned for years that the big tech companies were arrogant and clueless and less good for mankind than they believed.
Comeuppance, the billionaire investor warned, was coming.
Trouble has now arrived. Unfortunately for Mr. Thiel, the storm is centered on Facebook, whose board he has been a member of practically since its founding. The social network, which billed itself as bringing democracy and enlightenment to the world, was used by the Russians to subvert democracy and sow confusion in the United States.
Even people paid to see the future didn't see that one coming.
"The board's role is to help think about some of the medium- and longer-term problems coming around the corner," Mr. Thiel said. "We were far from perfect in doing that."
Mr. Thiel, 50, is at the center of nearly every issue that roils Silicon Valley, ranging from the tech elite's fascination with New Zealand hideaways (Mr. Thiel obtained New Zealand citizenship) to Bitcoin (he is a major investor) to the problems of herd thinking (he is moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles to escape it) to the evolving role of content on the internet (he has been exploring the creation of a media company that would outflank Breitbart and Fox for a younger audience).
Two subjects are currently overwhelming everything else: President Trump, whom Mr. Thiel aggressively backed for president, and Facebook, whose core mission is being called into question in the wake of the Russian revelations. In a typical Thiel move — he tends to run toward controversy even as his Silicon Valley peers try to make themselves inconspicuous — he agreed, in a rare interview, to talk about both.
"It's been a crazier two years than I would have thought," Mr. Thiel said in his new Midtown Manhattan apartment, which is so far up in the clouds that it literally looks down on Trump Tower.
More from The New York Times:
For two months, I got my news from print newspapers. Here's what I learned.
How Canada's tech scene is thriving (including the Instant Pot)
Why companies and countries are battling for ascendancy in 5G
Despite the proximity, the mutual enthusiasm between Mr. Thiel and Mr. Trump seems to have cooled. After Mr. Thiel spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2016, there were unsourced media reports that said Mr. Trump wanted to put him on the Supreme Court. But now even photo ops are rare.
The investor said he had last spoken to the president "a few months ago."
"We don't talk that often," he said, but added, "I can get access anytime I want."
The Trump whom Mr. Thiel touted at the Republican convention was a candidate who would "end the era of stupid wars and rebuild our country," move us past "fake culture wars" and start projects the equivalent of the Apollo space program. That does not seem to be the president he got.
"There are all these ways that things have fallen short," Mr. Thiel said. But he said he had no regrets about his endorsement. "It's still better than Hillary Clinton or the Republican zombies," he said, referring to the other candidates.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Thiel is routinely labeled a libertarian. On a bookshelf in the apartment, as if in confirmation, is a hardback copy of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," the bible of the movement. A gift, he said.
A lesser-known but possibly deeper influence was the French philosopher René Girard, who taught at Stanford University when Mr. Thiel was an undergraduate there. For 15 years, on and off, Mr. Thiel sat in on a study group about Mr. Girard's ideas. Mr. Girard believed human beings were deeply mimetic, which is to say they copy one another.
"It's very anti-Ayn Rand: There are no self-contained autonomous figures," Mr. Thiel said. "Our desires are not our own. They get shaped powerfully by the society around us."
It was this illumination that helped him see the potential of Facebook — where people could find out in intimate and addictive detail what their friends were up to — when it was barely a year old. He was the first outside investor, buying 10 percent of the company for $500,000.
He sold most of his holdings in 2012 as Facebook went public. A few months ago, with Facebook's market capitalization at about $500 billion, he sold most of what he had left.
Last summer, there was a flap when a memo by a fellow board member, Reed Hastings, the chief executive of Netflix, appeared in The New York Times. In the memo, Mr. Hastings wrote to Mr. Thiel that he displayed "catastrophically bad judgment" in supporting Mr. Trump.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, did not ask him to step down from the board, and reports that he wants to leave the board are incorrect, Mr. Thiel said, noting that among other things that he brings "ideological diversity." He declined to say exactly how much or what kind of advice the Facebook board was offering Mr. Zuckerberg, but defended the company from criticism that it was slow to wake up to what the Russians did.
"Remember when Trump said the election was going to be rigged? People said that was crazy — 'How dare you question the integrity of the electoral process?' That was the view of most of the people working at Facebook, too," he said. "They did not think things were so hackable. It was a mistake, but an understandable mistake." Facebook declined to comment.
The anger now being turned on Facebook, Mr. Thiel argued, is less about Russia specifically and more about tech arrogance — its failure to do so much for so many. It is a sentiment that helped put Mr. Trump in the White House.
"The Trump campaign slogan, 'Make America Great Again,' was perhaps the single most offensive thing you could say to Silicon Valley," he said. "Silicon Valley says the future is going to be better than the past. That is the propaganda, if you will."
A friend of his in Silicon Valley had the idea of running for governor of California this year. Mr. Thiel's advice was that he had better have a good answer to this question: Why is tech good for the average person in California? The answer, he cautioned, couldn't be a banality, such as "it's making us more connected," and it couldn't be utopian, such as "it's going to cure all diseases."
"He wasn't able to come up with an answer, and I couldn't come up with one, either," Mr. Thiel said. He declined to identify the friend, but it is well known in tech circles that Sam Altman, the president of Y Combinator, the prominent start-up accelerator, was thinking about running. Mr. Altman confirmed it was him and said he had decided not to run "for many reasons."
There is a big painting of a cresting wave in Mr. Thiel's living room, and it might as well be a visual metaphor for what is going on in big tech now.
"Having some ambition that transcends just making money is a critical thing for a company," he said. "But there is some point where it gets crazy and self-delusional." He added that the companies "are probably in some trouble — maybe it's a little, maybe it's a lot." The prospect of government regulation looms.
In 2015 and 2016, Mr. Thiel gave $300,000 to Josh Hawley, who was campaigning to become Missouri's attorney general. Mr. Hawley won, and in November he opened an antitrust investigation of Google. A spokeswoman for Mr. Hawley, a Republican who is now challenging the state's Democratic senator, Claire McCaskill, said there was "no connection" between Mr. Thiel's donation and the investigation. Google declined to comment.
The news last month that Mr. Thiel is moving from San Francisco to Los Angeles reflects a shift that is as much mental as literal. Getting out of the tech bubble, he figures, will give him more clarity about his investments.
"Network effects are very positive things, but there's a tipping point where they fall over into the madness of crowds," he said.
Another of Mr. Thiel's contentious ideas was destroying Gawker, the online publisher. He secretly financed the privacy lawsuit that Hulk Hogan, the former pro wrestler, filed against the media company, which Mr. Hogan won. That led to Gawker's bankruptcy in 2016.
A news operation that specialized in deflating the arrogance of Silicon Valley should have been to Mr. Thiel's liking. But he argues that his philosophy is consistent here.
"Gawker was trying to cut people down to size for not conforming," he said. "The ability to speak and not have every word you say get distorted, to have wrong ideas and then be able to correct them — these notions were powerfully undercut by Gawker."
Mr. Thiel is still pursuing the remnants of Gawker in court, which has prompted accusations that he wants to remove all of its content from the internet as a final victory.
He denied this. "Terry Bollea, a.k.a. Hulk Hogan, is still owed some money from the Gawker sale, and that is what I am trying to get," he said. "I don't want the archives. I don't think it makes sense to destroy them. Preserve them, study them instead."

Half of people living with HIV have experienced discrimination because of their status
by QWEERIST editor December 1, 2018, 12:46 pm 1.6k Views
On World AIDS Day, the UK's leading HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust have revealed the extent to which people living with HIV are impacted by HIV discrimination.
According to the charity, half (50%) of people living with HIV have experienced discrimination because of their HIV status. This comes despite the incredible medical progress that's been made over the last 30 years, which now means that people with the virus can live as long and healthily as anybody else.
Effective treatment shrinks the amount of virus in the body to undetectable levels, which protects the immune system from damage and means HIV can't be passed on to anyone else.
Despite this progress and the fact that people diagnosed with HIV today can thrive, misinformation around HIV still causes stigma, which impacts many people living with HIV.
The polling, which looked at people living with HIV's experience and fear of HIV discrimination found:
Over half (54%) had experienced HIV discrimination in dating and relationships
One third (34%) had experienced HIV discrimination while accessing health care services
Almost one third (30%) had experienced HIV discrimination at work
More than one quarter (27%) had experienced HIV discrimination from friends
Almost one fifth (18%) had experienced HIV discrimination from family members
One fifth (21%) had experienced HIV discrimination in their local community
When asked about fear of HIV discrimination, people living with HIV said that it had:
made them feel anxious (61%)
had an impact on their mental health (60%)
had an impact on their self-worth (59%)
made them feel unable to talk openly at work about living with HIV (59%)
made them feel unable to talk openly with friends about living with HIV (53%)
made them feel unable to talk openly with family about living with HIV (52%)
made them feel unable to talk openly in dating about living with HIV (51%)
made them feel alone (50%)
The polling of 1,350 people living with HIV was undertaken as part of the charity's latest campaign, #ZeroHIV, that seeks to bring both HIV transmissions and HIV stigma down to zero in the UK.
In the same week leading up to World AIDS Day, Public Health England has just revealed that the UK has achieved its target of 90:90:90, a whole year ahead of when it aimed to do so (2020). Statistics show that 92% of people living with HIV in the UK are diagnosed; 98% of those people are on treatment; and 97% of those have an undetectable viral load, which means they can't pass on HIV.
Ian Green, Chief Executive, Terrence Higgins Trust said: "Earlier this week we received the wonderful news that we are even closer to ending HIV here in the UK.
To have achieved the 90:90:90 targets one-year ahead of the target truly demonstrates the UK's position as a leader in the HIV sector, which is something we very much hope to continue.
"We now have the tools to end HIV transmission here in the UK – a combination of regular testing, PrEP, condoms and treatment as prevention – and it's vital we continue to ensure people are aware of those tools and know how to access them.
"However, as ending HIV transmissions in the UK becomes a reality, we must support those living with the virus to thrive, and end the stigma they face. We must not just focus our efforts on reaching zero transmissions, but also zero stigma.
"This World AIDS Day, we will remember the many loved ones we've lost. We will celebrate the progress we've made in their memory, and we will stand shoulder to shoulder and continue to work together with one another to hit zero HIV transmissions and zero HIV stigma for good," Green added.

Policemen killed by soldiers 'arrested Evans, rescued Buhari's district head'
Vincent Maxwell, an assistant superintendent of police, says the officers killed by soldiers in Taraba state were among the best on the inspector-general of police's intelligence response team (IRT).
The team is known for handling special crime cases across the country.
On Wednesday, Frank Mba, police spokesman, had explained that the personnel,led by Felix Adolije, an assistant superintendent, were on a covert mission to arrest one Hamisu, a high-profile kidnap suspect, when they were attacked by the troops.
Three policemen and a civilian lost their lives while many officers sustained injuries in the incident.
Reacting to the incident in a post shared by Abba Kyari, head of the IRT, Maxwell said the deceased were responsible for a number of heroic deeds, including securing the arrest of Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, suspected billionaire kidnapper.
He said they were also part of the team that apprehended over 20 members of the Boko Haram insurgent group responsible for the abduction of over 200 students from Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok, Borno state in 2014.
They were also said to have been involved in the arrest of Umar Abdulmalik, a Boko Haram commander suspected to be the mastermind of the bombings in Nyanya and Kuje areas of Abuja in 2015.
Kyari added that they were part of the team that secured the release of Musa Umar, father-in-law of President Muhammadu Buhari's aide de camp (ADC), who was kidnapped in May.
"They similarly participated in the arrest of Umar Abdulmalik, overall Boko Haram Commander Of North Central, Nigeria and several of his group members," Kyari said.
"They arrested the kidnappers of two American and two Canadian citizens in Kaduna State and most recently, they took part in the rescue of Magajin Garin Daura in Kano State during which 13 suspects who carried out the abduction were arrested in Kano.
"And most recently, the rescue Of Magajin Garin Daura in Kano State and arrest of the 13 terrorists responsible for kidnapping the Magajin Garin Daura in his home town Daura town Katsina state on the 1/5/19, among many other outstanding records of the team."
The police and army have set up a joint investigation panel to probe the incident.

Services > Education
"The Institute has its main aim the education of the poor girls……what I have learnt in prayer, I will teach to others." -FD 14
Educational activities in our schools are based on the spiritual experiences of our Foundress St. Bartolomea Capitanio. Education of the young was for her a service of charity. Her vision was "…..…. to continue Jesus' mission of charity, through the works of mercy to the point of doing everything possible, suffering everything and even shedding our blood for the good of our neighbour" (FD 14).
The Sisters of Charity Educational Society of Karnataka State, Mangalore was registered under the Society's Registration Act of 1860 on 3rd April 1957 with the then Provincial Superior Rev. Sr. M. Antonietta Lucini of revered memory as the Founding President. After 56 years of its existence, today the Educational Society has Rev. Sr. Matilda Monteiro as its Eighth President in succession. - more details -

Services > Health Care
"The poor sick and infirm will be the delight of my heart." -Vow of Charity.
We reach out with the concept of holistic health care, promoting it through the integration of other types of medicine. Preventive health care is also given through the outreach programs and in collaboration with Government Schemes.
Health care services existed in our Congregation from the very beginning. The explosion of knowledge and advancement in medical technology made medicine more complex and medical treatment costlier and inaccessible to the common man.
Our sisters are engaged in the health care and supportive systems. Many sisters are rendering their services in hospitals and health centers including administration and direct services. We have two sister Doctors. - more details -
Services > Socio Pastoral
"The religious consecration makes it possible for us to be fully and constantly available to the mission." -Cs.9
We qualify our works of mercy through charity, gentleness and humility in order to light new hope and courage in the poorest, the forsaken, the downtrodden and the marginalized. We consider our works of mercy as a place where we meet the Lord and through which the people come in contact with His charity. We seek to sense the "Divine' in persons with whom we live and to whom we are sent.
"God has reserved such a great and charitable enterprise for these times, when the need is great and urgent.. to do everything possible, to suffer everything and even shed their blood for the good of their neighbor." -F.D. 14 The sisters who are full timers have a regular action plan to face the emerging needs of the times. The stress has been more on empowering the poor and the rejected of society, paying special attention to the girl child, the adolescents and the women whose needs are both material and spiritual., empowering them to claim their rights and doing whatever in needed. They make the sorrows, anguish and suffering of the sick, aged, children, youth etc their own as Jesus did and help them to rediscover the meaning of their lives and regain their sense of human dignity. - more details -

MARGAO: The Railways ambitious project of double tracking the South Western Railway track from Vasco to the Goa border has hit a snag as the Goa government is yet to hand over the land to the railway authorities.
It may be recalled that around 10.5 hectares of land was sought to be acquired for the double tracking of the railway line in the villages of Collem, Calem, Santona, Sanvordem, Curchorem, Xic-Xelvona, Assolda, Chandor, Guirdolim, Sao Jose de Areal and Davorlim as presently double tracking will be done only from Goa border to Margao railway station.
The talathis who were given the task of obtaining the consent from the owners of the land have been facing difficulties in tracing the owners as the original owners have died and their heirs have become the owners and contacting the heirs is proving time consuming as many have migrated to foreign countries.
The village wise land sought to be acquired by the railways is Collem – 5173 sq mts, Calem – 22775 sq mts, Santona – 5309 sq mts, Sanvordem – 6930 sq mts, Curchorem -- sq mts, Xic-Xelvona – 920 sq mts, Assolda – 3720 sq mts, Chandor – 4843 sq mts, Guirdolim – 23490 sq mts, St Jose de Areal – 3425 sq mts and Davorlim – 8815 sq mts.
It is learnt that owners of around 5 hectares of land have given their consent which is just half the land that is required and the railway authorities are now hoping that the new policy wherein land owners are promised incentive in terms of increased FAR for giving land to the government will entice the owners to give their consent.
However, even as the possession of land is awaited the Rail Vikas Nigam Limited is marching ahead with the project and has already constructed 10 minor bridges of the 60 proposed in the project. Besides, they have also commenced work on four of the six major bridges.
The piling work has been completed in the four major bridges and even the pier has been laid and two of these bridges where the work is done are between Chandor and Curchorem. In fact RVNL seems to have completed most of the work in Chandor sector as two minor bridges have also been constructed and this was possible because the land was already in its possession.
While the cost of laying the double track in the Ghat area commencing from Castle Rock is estimated to cost Rs 1000 crore, the Kollem to Margao sector is estimated at Rs 250 crore and Margao to Vasco is pegged at Rs 200 crore.

Don't You Know Yokomo (H Smith/J Vincent) and Reet Petite (B Gordy Jnr/ B Davis/ G Gordy) – Dinah Lee 1964
The Kiwi invasion of Australia was in full swing in the early sixties, and Dinah Lee, (real name Diane Marie Jacobs) from Wairnate on NZ's South Island, quickly established herself as the most prominent female artist of the early mod rock era, after she left Cashmere High School and focused on a career in show business.
Dinah's father and his siblings were all talented instrumentalists and she got her first break singing at The Country Club Cabaret, her dad's nightclub in Christchurch. She performed with several local bands including The Playboys and The Saints, whose lead singer Phil Garland was briefly Lee's partner, and she made her TV debut on Christchurch TV's "new faces" show, Time Out for Talent.
Dinah augmented her income with some modeling and her trademark Vidal Sassoon hairstyle (a sleek bob-style), Mary Quant wardrobe (mini-skirts, Peter Pan collars, tunic dresses, white boots), and mod makeup (rounded expressive eyes, heavy mascara, iconic full lashes, light pouty-lips) which became an integral part of her image. Dinah and the Playboys secured a residency at Auckland's Top Twenty Club after Max Merritt and the Meteors decamped to Australia in 1963, and once Ron Dalton of Viking Records caught Dinah's act, she was signed to a solo recording contract.
Following the Beatles tour of New Zealand in 1964, local bands were looking to emulate their beat group idols, scouring back catalogues and obscure album tracks to find songs that could be given the new beat treatment, a Dee Dee Sharp album track from 1963, would become just such a song, and it would ignite the career of Dinah Lee.
American R&B/soul singer Dee Dee Sharp (real name Dione LaRue) had started her career as a backup singer in her home town of Philadelphia for such artists as Lloyd Price, Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, and Jackie Wilson, when she landed a contract with Cameo /Parkway Records. Her career quickly took off when she produced a string of chart hits including two million sellers – Mashed Potato Time and Ride! – and several other top ten hits including Slow Twistin' (a duet with Chubby Checker), and Do the Bird, she was also a regular performer on Shindig and Bandstand. In 1963 she released her album Down Memory Lane which featured the original version of Don't You Know Yockomo, a song written by Huey "Piano" Smith, and Ace Records chief Johnny Vincent. Dee Dee's version had a strong Motown/Atlantic ambience to it with prominent organ, brass, handclaps, and traditional negro call and response vocals, and although it was never released by Sharp as a single, it certainly had potential. Dinah Lee's version didn't stray too far from the original, except for the absence of keyboards and the more prominent 4/4 beat treatment of the song, which was so popular at the time.
Dinah Lee and Max Merritt and the Meteors went into the Viking recording studios in 1964 with producer Ron Dalton, to cut Lee's debut single, and her effervescent version of Don't You Know Yokomo,would come to define her style and her status in the heady days of the rise of mod rock in New Zealand and Australia in the Swinging Sixties. Left to Right below- Ron Dalton, Peter Posa, Dean Martin, and an unidentified Viking executive.
Dinah carried off the nonsense lyrics with great panache, a catchy call- and-response chorus, boundless energy and the peerless backing of Max and the Meteors, the song hit #17 in Australia and stayed on the charts for 30 weeks, it also scored a debut #1 for Dinah in NZ.
A Mod Rock Pioneer from NZ
Dinah quickly became the "Queen of the Mods", her follow-up single two months later was the double-A side record Do The Blue Beat, a recent ska hit for Little Millie backed with Reet Petite, a beat cover of a Motown R&B song previously recorded by Jackie Wilson in 1957, and it was this song that became another solid charter for her at #16 nationally and #1 in NZ . It was written by Berry Gordy, his first wife Gwen, and Jackie Wilson's cousin Billy Davis, it charted strongly in the UK at the time and kept Gordy's Motown Records financially afloat in its early days. The term "reet petite" was borrowed from a Lous Jordan song Reet, Petite, and Gone, and it was a negro colloquialism which described a girl, and it meant right or good, and petite is a French word meaning dainty, small, or attractive. Jackie "Mr Excitement" Wilson was a one-of-a-kind entertainer, and on his version of this song, which featured lots of brass and bass, he used all his vocal tricks – stuttering syllables, melismas, trills (rolling R's and D's), and urgent whoops; he had an operatic multi-octave range and although Dinah's beat version of the song was catchy and of its time, she was no match for Jackie's original version.
The shorts were called culottes.
Dinah performed as a support act on tours by such international artists as P J Proby, the Searchers, Peter and Gordon, Del Shannon, Eden Kane (below with Dinah), and "Little" Millie Small, and was a regular performer on Australian Bandstand and Johnny O'Keefe's Sing, Sing, Sing. Subsequent singles Who Stole the Sugar, and I'm Walkin' failed to impress and her last two top 40 hits in Aust were I'll Forgive You Then Forget You (#38 in '65) and I Can't Believe What You Say (#31 in '65).
Dinah had international exposure in both the UK and the US at the time, she lived in London and recorded demos with Chris Blackwell who would go on to establish Island Records, and she partied with the pop stars of the day – David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, Steve Marriott, and in the USA, where she joined Glen Campbell, the Righteous Brothers and Ray Charles in a rendition of Ray's hit song Hit the Road Jack and then sang Roadrunner with Glen Campbell, and Jerry Naylor, on the legendary TV show Shindig. Below the Roadrunner clip from 1965.
She is currently a very fit 76 years of age and was the Over 35 Female Bodybuilder Champion of Australia in 1984, she continues to be a regular on the heritage rock circuit here and in New Zealand. Dinah was inducted into the NZ Music Hall of Fame along with Max Merritt, Johnny Cooper, and Larry's rebels in 2020, and her last album release was Islands in 2008.

Winchester Galleries in Victoria, B.C. has great openings–live music, good food and (sometimes!) wine. It's always fun to wander through…where else can you hear live harp music on a Saturday afternoon?
This month's show is headlined by Tad Suzuki, and Ronald Markham, but it was Tristram Landsdowne's work that caught my eye, and held my attention. The watercolours and the etchings are beautifully rendered. It's obvious he's inherited some of Fenwick Landsdowne's talents. His subject matter, however, differs greatly from his father's avian and wildlife images. Tristram creates architectural constructs that seem to hover or float. In his compositions, a mostly representational structure is placed in an unlikely and/or impossible setting.
The work is gorgeous, and intriguing. It's no surprise he was a finalist in the RBC Painting Competition in 2011. It's great to hear he had work purchased by the National Gallery of Canada.

Terence Koh and Emily Carr…..
…a match (or mis-match) made in art heaven?
Terence Koh, contemporary artist, graduate of the Emily Carr School of Art + Design. Think performance pieces, sculpture, installations from New York to London to Switzerland….
Emily Carr, (1871-1945) belatedly beloved Canadian painter and writer. She lived and worked (nay, toiled) in British Columbia.
James Adams recently wrote a great feature in the Globe and Mail about Koh's participation in Luminato, the Toronto arts festival. One of Koh's projects is an homage to dear Emily, at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg (just north of Toronto.) As part of the installation he wrote this haiku….
Not bad for a guy who's been labelled a "young punk capitalist." I'm guessing Emily would be honoured.

I was very happy that I stopped by the Vancouver Island School of Art a couple of weeks ago to see the art installation, Paradise Lost, by Xane St. Philip.
The space itself became a work of art. Xane gave an artist's talk, and explained some of the features of Paradise Lost. He talked about colour theory, as espoused by Josef Albers. He touched on the components of a classical garden, and he elicited participants' responses to the title of the installation, Paradise Lost.
Just as the beauty of a garden is transitory, Paradise Lost has come and gone from the Slide Room Gallery at VISA. I look forward to the catalogue, and I'll never again look at that gallery space in quite the same way.

'This Isn't Good Enough!': Deborah Meaden Slams UK Government For Failing To Ban Farm Cages
The TV personality has thrown her support behind a campaign to end cage cruelty forever
The post 'This Isn't Good Enough!': Deborah Meaden Slams…
This article was originally published by https://plantbasednews.org/news/activism/end-cage-farming-campaign/
Dragons Den star Deborah Meaden has lent her support to a campaign urging lawmakers to ban the use of cages in UK farming.
Animal Welfare organization Compassion in World Farming delivered a petition to both the UK and Scottish governments in December. It had 392,063 signatures. The petition highlighted the plight of more than 16 million farm animals that are subjected to cage containment each year.
Campaigners claim that both governments had promised to start consultations on the use of cages. However, neither have taken any meaningful action. The UK government said it would bring forward talks on banning farrowing crates for sows and cages for egg-laying hens last June. Similarly, the Scottish government was expected to begin the consultation process in earnest last year. However, no progress has been made on either side.
Meaden, one of the petition's signers, expressed her disappointment that cage farming was no closer to being stopped. "Both the UK and Scottish Governments have failed to deliver their commitments to review caged farming. This simply isn't good enough!" she said in a statement. "Cages inflict immense misery on enormous numbers of UK farm animals. They are cruel and unnecessary, as higher-welfare cage-free systems are viable. It's time for UK and Scottish Governments to free millions of animals from a life of suffering behind bars."
Compassion In World Farming Campaigners are urging the governments to follow through with promises
The petition to ban cage farming
In London, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) was presented with the petition. Meanwhile, the Scottish government received the document at its headquarters in Edinburgh.
Stating that the use of cages causes "immense misery," the signees all for their ban, in favor of higher-welfare alternatives. Specifically, the petition asks ministers to: "…prohibit the use of: cages for laying hens, rabbits, pullets, broiler breeders, layer breeders, quail; farrowing crates for sows, and individual calf pens, where not already prohibited."
To demonstrate the cruelty of cages, the petition was printed in full. The resulting reams of paper were used to fill two metal cages used to farm rabbits. Both were gift-wrapped and delivered to government buildings.
"Almost 400,000 people added their names to our petition calling for action on cages. This huge public backing shows British citizens care deeply about the plight of farmed animals and want to see them free from suffering behind bars, because a life in a cage is no life at all," Sarah Moyes, Compassion in World Farming's senior campaigns manager, told Plant Based News.
"The public have spoken, now it's time for Defra and the Scottish Government to follow through on their pledges and take the next step to End the Cage Age by publishing their long-awaited consultations."

"Legitimate interests" is a sensible concept. It means that when you look at the overall needs and rights of data controller and data subject, there will be times where you don't need to ask for consent to collect, store, use, disclose, process, destroy or otherwise "process" personal information.
For example, during an online purchase you have to provide contact, payment and address information, and the seller will have to record your transaction. It would be unnecessarily obstructive, annoying and off-putting for the seller to have to explain this and to obtain a record that the purchaser understood and agreed to this data collection and use. Of course there may be an option to use third-party payment services, sign up for an account, save details, sign up to marketing and more. But some basic information is necessary to fulfil a transaction, and is both "legitimate", expected and should not be obstructed by a consent statement.
It's vexing because it is the last sentence in an otherwise well-defined section. And that's where it ends; the teaser at the end of the credits. It's vexing because it's easy to ignore the rest of the GDPR recitals and articles and read that sentence as "you don't need consent for email marketing because it's a legitimate interest".
What this statement is doing is actually reiterating that there are higher permission standards for digital marketing.
If you have data legitimately collected for direct marketing you must already have fulfilled the higher standards set by the e-Privacy directive (and PECR in the UK); so of course you can process that data for direct marketing.
It's not saying that legitimate interests is a basis for direct marketing activities without consent.
This is really interesting, I've been researching the same thing. As PECR does not cover postal marketing, does that mean that I can collect personal data for DM without consent?
I generally think you got to the right place but I am not convinced by how you got there.
The phrase "The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest" is not vexing at all. In fact, it is remarkably clear for European legislative language. Direct marketing is a legitimate interest and there for does not need an opt-in - full stop, crystal clear. If GDPR was the only law of the land then we would be back to the wild west days of opt-out email rather than the current opt-in regime. GDPR however, is not the only European law or regulation that covers the email marketing industry. The EU e-Privacy Directive was written to sit on top of the old Data Protection Directive and it sets a higher standard for direct marketing via email and SMS. While the current e-Privacy directive does not sit well on the new GDPR, it's fundamental principles have not changed and therefor email is still opt-in. Throughout the spring, there was a public consultation on the e-Privacy Directive with a view to adapt it based on technological advancements, support the Digital Single Market Strategy and bring it into line with the GDPR. Those responding to the consultation overwhelmingly feel that special privacy rules are needed for the electronic sector and that the current language has not achieved its objective. I suspect that the e-Privacy Directive will be rewritten and most likely get upgraded from a directive to a regulation.
In essence, your argument presupposes that the e-Privacy Directive exists and therefor it would not be possible under GDPR to legitimately collect email without an opt-in. While that is true, should the e-Privacy Directive go away, then GDPR would not enforce an opt-in. Put another way sending an email in the UK without an opt-in would not contravene GDPR but would contravene PECR. The only way GDPR would come into play is if an enterprising enforcement person at the ICO wanted to levy a significantly higher fine.
Hi Mike - Simple answer: no.
Remember that the GDPR covers data collection, storage and use; how that data is protected while in your control; how data subjects control the quality, use, disclosure and destruction of that data.
You need a legal basis for collecting, storing and using personal data. Full stop!
If you record page and product views, the device used and the location of the browsing; and you build up a profile based on this location and behaviour and it's linked to an individual – this is a common scenario convered by the GDPR.
The question to ask is: If you don't have marketing consent what is your justification (the legitimate interest that you can prove) for collecting and processing personal data?
