Gossip rocked a section of youthful councillors across the District after it emerged that, one of them traded sex with another youth leader (name withheld for security reasons) to be able to win a position in the youth council. Speaking on anonymity, one of the youth leaders told this online publication blog, that, one of them (a lady) who was in love relationship with another powerful youth councillor, used that advantage to manipulate ways to impose the young lady onto that seat which she is not supposed to hold. Another youth councillor (a guy) said, in 2020 when they traveled to Gulu for election of female youth MPs, Electoral Commission officials denied this young lady to sign transport allowance of 350,000 Shs on grounds that, her name was not showing anywhere in the EC system as a Youth councillor holding any position from any Sub-county or any Parish in Maracha District.

WhatsApp Hit with €5.5 Million Fine for Violating Data Protection Laws.

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) on Thursday imposed fresh fines of €5.5 million against Meta's WhatsApp for violating data protection laws when processing users' personal information. At the heart of the ruling is an update to the messaging platform's Terms of Service that was imposed in the days leading to the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ) in May 2018, requiring that users agree to the revised terms in order to continue using the service or risk losing access. The complaint, filed by privacy non-profit NOYB, alleged that WhatsApp breached the regulation by compelling its users to "consent to the processing of their personal data for service improvement and security" by "making the accessibility of its services conditional on users accepting the updated Terms of Service." "WhatsApp Ireland is not entitled to rely on the contract legal basis for the delivery of service improvement and security," the DP...

In the early ’70s, Bruce Campbell paid $25,800 for 10 acres of land in Hillsboro, a suburb of Portland, Oregon. The electrical engineer, who’s now   73 and resides in a parked plane on his property, tells  CNBC Make It  the dream began when he saw   an airplane boneyard on TV when he was 15 years old. He decided he   wanted to live in one. In 1999, Campbell resolved to follow through but had no idea how to go about it, so he hired a salvage company to find him a plane. “That was a Whopper class mistake. I’ll never do that again.
