Bill Gates gaat digitale ID's implanteren bij pasgeborenen in Kenia.

Publisher’s rating: Nee, Bill Gates gaat geen digitale ID's in baby's (of oudere mensen) implanteren. De Bill en Melinda Gates Foundation adviseert de Keniaanse overheid wel bij het invoeren van digitale identiteitsbewijzen, die de toegang tot overheidsdiensten voor Kenianen moeten vergemakkelijken. Die worden echter niet onder iemands huid geïmplanteerd. Wel zijn er zorgen over privacykwesties.

Pakistan's IT Minister claimed that recent internet disruptions in Pakistan are not being caused by any kind of firewall installation or ‘web management system’ upgradation. Another PMLN leader claimed the UK and US also have a firewall similar to the one being installed in Pakistan right now.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE. PMLN leader Barrister Danyal Chaudhry and IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khwaja have both made false statements regarding Pakistan’s internet landscape and the global internet firewall apparatus.

Amazon offre des ordinateurs portables aux Belges de plus de 30 ans.

Publisher’s rating: Il ne s'agit ni d'une enquête, ni d'une offre, ni d'un jeu, mais bien de phishing. Ce type de publications vise à voler des données aux internautes.

The review found that the laptop posts were phishing, not a genuine Amazon offer. One image was manipulated from a 2022 Leclerc employee photo, while the other appeared to come from a Taiwanese used-computer wholesaler.

De lantaarnpaal 'Ampera Evo' wordt stiekem door gemeentes gebruikt om data van burgers te verzamelen.

Publisher’s rating: Er is geen bewijs dat Nederlandse gemeenten data via de lantaarnpaal Ampera Evo registreren en doorverkopen. Verder gebruiken zij de straatverlichting niet om inwoners te besturen.

The review says Ampera Evo’s smart controls adjust street lighting, using location data and motion sensors to manage when and how brightly lights operate. It reports that the manufacturer’s specifications do not list a camera or Wi-Fi option for this model, and that the review found no technology listed for influencing people’s behavior.
