2021-11-20 10:02:04 Crypto miners wreaking havoc on Kazakhstan’s power grid

An 8% increase in domestic electricity consumption this year due to crypto mining has forced Kazakhstan to turn to Russia to meet growing energy demands. (The Diplomat)

“The 8% increase in consumption is largely due to mining data centers operating in the country. The main suppliers of electricity for mining data centers are coal and gas power plants,” the Deputy Energy Minister said.

Kazakhstan has become the third-largest country in terms of energy consumed to ‘mine’ Bitcoin - due to most local energy being produced by coal-powered stations.

2021-11-20 08:01:37 Facebook warns LAPD to stop SNOOPING on users through FAKE accounts

Facebook has written to the LAPD demanding their officers stop setting up fake accounts to spy on people after documents revealed the force encourages the method of “online investigative activity.”

Australian lawful surveillance expert Robert Potter claimed it was the pot calling the kettle black, given the platform’s lack of urgency over policing political ads and effects on children.

"You're not special if you run a social media platform,” he said. “If there's not a rule saying you can't have an undercover cop in a church, why should a social media platform be any different?"

2021-11-20 07:01:25 Divorced Parents' Vax Contention for Kids - Court Cases Spiral

It seems some parents are struggling to see eye-to-eye on children and vaccinations, becoming a serious point of contention for those separated.

One case reported in Today, a Washington State mother wants her three children jabbed... but her ex-husband is against it for their 5, 8 and 9-year-old.

"He doesn't agree that the children should be getting it without years of research proving that it works and that it's not going to kill our children," Jillian told TODAY Parents (we are withholding the last names of the parents in this article to protect their children's privacy). "We have talked about it two or three times, because we knew it was going to be something we'd eventually have to decide, but his mindset is that even if the kids caught Covid they'd be fine, so why get a shot to prevent it?"

A lawyer told the outlet there's been a "significant rise" in such cases.
