The Syrians and the “Block”
That was in March 2011, shortly before the outbreak of the revolution, in a conversation with a well-known Syrian activist about a dispute that broke out between her and another well-known activist over organizing a public protest activity in Damascus.

Netflix Targets Millions of ‘Freeloaders’ By Doubling Down on Password Sharing
The Streaming Wars of 2022 were always going to bring about a number of changes to the way the entertainment market currently works — globally as well as locally — but these seem to have started happening at a faster pace.

Virtual life is here and it is here to stay, and in my opinion, it is exponentially terrifying.
