“Digital Colonialism”: U.S. Demands to Access Africans’ Data Raise Privacy, Sovereignty Concerns

The United States is requiring access to health data as part of lifesaving aid deals with African countries. The U.S. says the data will be aggregated and anonymized, but privacy experts fear the information could be misused or exploited.

"Billionaires want to live forever."

The theft & misuse of personal medical data is how they plan to accomplish this. Also for the international state surveillance.

Does anyone want billion­aires to control longevity?

Larry Ellison is Making Death Optional // Hold my Beer #22

This Hold My Beer may be brought to you by Green Tea or Carrot Juice... Larry Ellison’s has a philosophy... “It’s not enough to win; all others must lose.” Savage. Not exactly an “abundance” mindset—but clearly, it’s working for him. And at 80 years old, Ellison is still playing to win, and not just in business. His latest competition? Death itself. And, naturally, he seems to be crushing that, too. Ellison has donated over $350 million to research on aging and age-related diseases. He’s applied the same “addiction to winning” that built his $456 billion enterprise software company to his personal health. Known to sip carrot juice, drink green tea, and log hours in the gym, Ellison looks like he’s already cracked the code. Even anti-aging fanatic Bryan Johnson—who spends $2 million a year trying to rewind his biological clock—recently said, “Ellison, now 80, is doing a good job managing biological aging.”

All to sit on goofle’s, micro soft’s or amazon’s servers to be ai’d to see if they are real people. Worse yet just to steal their personal information.
What a joke. :-|
