The Department for Education has been tracking and monitoring the communications of critics, including personal surveillance.
But not only that, the DfE has tried to ostracise these academics by getting them banned from conferences and other events.
If you speak critically of the Government and you are an academic, then you are a threat — and the Government will do it’s best to make you persona non grata you for it.
Today in the episode of Cloudflare bad:
It cannot protect your from DDoS attacks. A bad actor can simply use Cloudflare’s infrastructure to do that. Pretty ironic, isn’t it?

ProPublica just came out with another amazing piece of journalism, this one on the efforts by the capitalist firm Philips Respironics to hide the harms caused by its products.
Philips makes CPAP ventilator machines designed to be worn while asleep, creating positive air pressure to help people with sleep apnea. Back in 2010, Philips added a foam to its CPAP machines to reduce rattling that kept users awake at night. The foam Philips chose degrades, releasing toxic carcinogens directly into the mouths, throats, and lungs of users.
Philips knew about this *right away.* It spent years hiding reports that it was legally obligated to share with US governmental regulators. It waited over a *decade* to issue a recall. Thousands of people are sick; hundreds have died.
Go ahead and read the whole thing, if you have the stomach for it. It’s a typically excellent piece of investigative reporting by ProPublica:
