Changes in YouTube’s terms take effect on Dec 10: https://mashable.com/article/youtube-new-terms-of-service-no-longer-commercially-viable.amp

Handig, zo’n meldpunt, in de wetenschap dat zelfs vertrouwenspersonen op het ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid worden afgeluisterd om klokkenluiders op te sporen (bronnen NOS Teletekst, de Volkskrant)
Blij met die koopkrachtstijging hoor, maar die drie miljard kunnen we beter in het onderwijs steken, bijv. voor het #leesoffensief waartoe @Onderwijsraad@twitter.com en @RaadvoorCultuur@twitter.com oproepen (https://www.onderwijsraad.nl/publicaties/2019/leesadvies/item7769) https://nos.nl/artikel/2301647-rekenen-spelling-en-lezen-hollen-achteruit-door-lerarentekort.html. Het helpt bij alle vakken in het onderwijs.

Er zijn scholen waar je leert dat we niets meer zijn dan ons brein, dat geloven komt door indoctrinatie, dat goed en kwaad maar relatief is, dat de natuur doelloos en zinloos is, dat de mens een veredelde aap is. Díe scholen, die mogen wél van Aleid. https://www.volkskrant.nl/ts-b8c352ac
