"...tech giants earned nearly half their $11 trillion revenues overseas between 2015 and 2024, yet only 30 percent of what they reported in estimated taxes was booked to foreign governmentsâdisproportionately tax havens."
Countries cannot fund social services on such unfair taxation.
Tech Policy Press @techpolicypress.bsky.social
Human Rights Watch senior economic inequality adviser Sarah Saadoun explains how a century-old physical-presence rule in bilateral tax treaties lets tech giants earn fortunes in countries while paying tax elsewhereâand how a new UN treaty could finally change that.

A cop made a fake Flock camera with a 3D printer in his own time, then cops staked it out to catch someone who vandalized it. It was bait, a trap. Now facing charges of property damage of over $1,000. But... it's a piece of cheap plastic, it's basically worth nothing

This situation is so crazy. Man arrested for breaking cop's hobby 3d printing art project / sting operation then charged with felonies.
Police are dedicating so many resources to protecting surveillance tools that people hate. Can't imagine these charges stick:
