The online retail giant has begun selling the big brother-like technology, which it calls “Rekognition,” to law enforcement and local government authorities across the United States.

Γλυκά πονούσε το γιαούρτι

Η φασιστική επίθεση στο Γιάννη Μπουτάρη, ήταν μια πρώτης τάξεως ευκαιρία για το «μετώπο της λογικής» και της «αριστείας». Στις μέρες που ακολούθησαν, μετά το Σάββατο, η «θεωρία των δύο άκρων», οι «αγανακτισμένοι» και η συλλογική ευθύνη, είχαν επανέλθει μεθοδευμένα στη δημόσια συζήτηση, από ΝΔ-ΚΙΝΑΛ και τους «μπαχαλάκηδες» της ενημέρωσης.

Εξίσωσε το «γιαούρτωμα» ενός πολιτικού που επανειλημμένα έχει προσβάλει το κοινωνικό σύνολο (όχι τους πλούσιους φυσικά, την "πλέμπα") με το μαχαίρωμα και τη δολοφονία ενός αντιφασίστα μουσικού από μέλη της ε

Trump must understand that the world is not his estate, " Morales said in a tweet posted late Monday.
