The US equivalent would be a Collective Bargaining Agreement - the contract between a union and the employer.

That image comes from a comparison of children’s school lunches from around the world. I have no idea how representative it is of either meals in the French embassy currently, or French army rations.

Not Meta malicious activity this time, just the creepy tracking that happens on every website for marketing purposes. It’s the tax companies that specifically configured it to take in extra data - your tax data.

Pixel is used to track things like what page you came from, your IP, your facebook tracking cookies, what buttons you click on when, etc.. It’s creepy when you think about it, but fairly typical marketing tracking used by websites to try to optimize people actually buying things when they land on the website, or tracking what sites/ads people click on to get to the site and whether those referring sites generate sales.

However, pixel can be configured to also capture the data you fill out on a form displayed on a website and it appears these tax preparation companies did that. Someone at each of those companies had to configure each of the additional fields to capture in order to cause that data to be sent to Meta, and they’d should have known better.

It was a piece of nostalgia for me, and I was very glad to find it archived.
