Hm, kako lahko en sam graf spremeni pogled človeka na nek skrajno sumljiv projekt! Pa ne, da bi zdaj Cukerbergu in pajdašem kar padel v naročje od ganjenosti, ker tako skrbijo za revne. Ne verjamem, da jih žene samaritanstvo, ljudoljubnost pa to. Ampak če ne bi bilo zloglasnega FB kripto projekta Libra, mogoče ne bi nikoli izvedel, kakšen problem so v revnih deželah in za revne ljudi visoki transakcijski stroški. Podsaharskim Afričanom, ki dobijo denarno pomoč od migriranih sorodnikov, skoraj 9% pobere finančno-transakcijski sistem. Houli šit!

The global average cost of sending $200 remained high, at around 7 percent in the first quarter of 2019, according to the World Bank’s Remittance Prices Worldwide database. Reducing remittance costs to 3 percent by 2030 is a global target under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10.7. Remittance costs across many African corridors and small islands in the Pacific remain above 10 percent.
Banks were the most expensive remittance channels, charging an average fee of 11 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Post offices were the next most expensive, at over 7 percent. Remittance fees tend to include a premium where national post offices have an exclusive partnership with a money transfer operator. This premium was on average 1.5 percent worldwide and as high as 4 percent in some countries in the last quarter of 2018.

Medtem ko zdomarji oz. njihovi revni sorodniki doma debelo plačujejo stroške nakazil denarja, v Ameriki razglabljajo, za koliko bi prodali posamezne osebne podatke. Podatke je anketno zbral Morning Consult in anketno formirani cenik osebnih podatkov Američanov prikazal tudi grafično. Vse je napisano in narisano tukaj, z naslednjim zaključkom:

“The price of data is going to go up considerably, and that is in direct relationship to the California privacy act, the Massachusetts one and the pending federal one,” Greenfield said.
“Whatever advertisers pay now is going to potentially double within the next 18 months,” he added.

Medtem so v španoviji NBC News in WSJ opravili anketo o socialnih medijih. Dobrih tisoč Američanov je izrazilo močno nezaupanje do teh njihovih igračk (izpostavljena sta FB in Twitter), po drugi strani pa jih veliko ostaja fasciniranih nad novodobnimi tehno-dosežki in možnostmi, ki jih prinašajo. Kar je res. Ne moreš, npr. biti proti vsem časopisom samo zato, ker se ti tabloidi tipa Sun ali Bild gabijo...

“Social media — and Facebook, in particular — have some serious issues in this poll,” said Micah Roberts, a pollster at the Republican firm Public Opinion Strategies, which conducted this survey with the Democratic firm Hart Research Associates.
“If America was giving social media a Yelp review, a majority would give it zero stars,” Roberts added.
Fifty-nine percent of respondents agree with the statement that technology has more benefits than drawbacks, because it means products and services can be cheaper and made more efficiently.
That’s compared with 36 percent who believe that technology has more drawbacks than benefits, because it means workers are being replaced by robots and computers.
