Deutsche Bahn (DB), a state-owned company under control of the gov of #Germany, is telling me when i try to buy a ticket or to log in (!) that "Your browser's behavior resembles that of a bot."

Suggestion is:
- change browser (!)
- change network (!!!)
or
"If you are using a VPN client, anonymization tool, [iOS stuff], or third-party antivirus software, please temporarily disable it."

#German gov. suggests giving up on privacy protection?

-> DPA complaint?

At around 9AM on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 mins from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the #US & #Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel's #public printers. NPR reviewed photos of the documents taken by one of the guests, who NPR agreed not to identify because the guest said they feared retaliation.

Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero, says thinktank

Govt could use a process known as special administration to take over failing Thames Water. The figure of £99bn is based on an estimate from a thinktank paid for by water companies.

The analysis from another think tank 'Common Wealth' shows that it matters who is framing & costing problems & their solutions.
