later, Mosheng - who is now a professional photographer - returns to China, and coincidentally bumps into the unforgettable Yichen. Since the seven years they broke up, many people stand in the way of these star-crossed lovers: Foster-sister Yimei;

Starring Warren Oates and Ben Johnson and Michelle Phillips.
There are no censorship issues with this release. UK: Passed Suitable for 18 years and over uncut for:
Promotional Material The runaway success of Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 proved massively influential: it made stars of Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, introduced a new form of violence to the movies, and
inspired a stream of imitators, including Bloody Mama, Martin Scorsese's Boxcar Bertha and the directorial debut of John Milius, Dillinger. Milius presents John Dillinger as an almost mythical figure, tracing the rise and fall of the depression era's
Public Enemy Number One as he takes on the banks and the G-men, led by the infamous Melvin Purvis. Starring Sam Peckinpah favourites Warren Oates and Ben Johnson as Dillinger and Purvis, and with a supporting cast
including Harry Dean Stanton, Richard Dreyfuss and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, Dillinger is a top-drawer gangster picture: explosive, stylish and hugely entertaining. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS - 2K

In the Realm of the Senses is a 1976 French/Japanese erotic
film by Nagisa Oshima.
With Tatsuya Fuji, Eiko Matsuda and Aoi Nakajima.
There's a longer Theatrical Version and a (preferred) shorter Producers Cut. Historically 10s have been deleted from all UK releases until the cuts were waived by the BBFC in 2011. The film contains brief scenes of real sex.
UK: Previously passed 18 uncut for:
- 2022 Sony/Criterion Collection (RB) Blu-ray at UK Amazon #ad released on
3rd January 2022
Promotional Material An extraordinary tale of passion and obsession, now available complete and uncensored In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no corrida) , by the always provocative
Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, remains one of the most controversial films of all time. Based on a true incident, it graphically depicts the all-consuming, transcendent--but ultimately destructive--love of a man and a woman
(Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control. Less a work of an adult movie than of politics, In the Realm of the Senses is a brave, taboo-breaking milestone, still
censored in its own country.

80 'fact checker' organisations call on Google to buy their services to censor YouTube

| See article from poynter.org |
80 internet 'fact-checking' organizations have signed an open letter to YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, calling on the company to buy their services to censor 'wrong think' on YouTube. The letter reads: YouTube is allowing its
platform to be weaponized by unscrupulous actors to manipulate and exploit others, and to organize and fundraise themselves. Current measures are proving insufficient. That is why we urge you to take effective action against disinformation and
misinformation, and to elaborate a roadmap of policy and product interventions to improve the information ecosystem -- and to do so with the world's independent, nonpartisan fact-checking organizations. The spread of falsehoods on
YouTube is a global problem. They range from videos encouraging unproven methods of treating COVID-19 to false allegations of electoral fraud.
The International Fact-Checking Network is a trade group promoting 'fact checking'
organisations worldwide. In its letter, IFCN outlines 'solutions' to help reduce the spread of misinformation and promote their businesses. One of them is to promote fact-checked information and provide context and debunks alongside videos. The
fact-checkers are also calling on YouTube to disclose its moderation policy regarding disinformation and misinformation, prevent its algorithms from promoting content creators who repeatedly produce false information and strengthen its efforts to fight
misinformation in languages other than English. |

The German government considers banning Telegram to silence opposition to covid restrictions

| See article from reclaimthenet.org |
The German government are considering banning the encrypted Telegram messaging app that has been used by conservative groups and groups opposing Covid restrictions. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that Telegram could be banned if it continues
being used by groups opposing Covid measures to organize. She told Die Zeit weekly: We cannot rule this out. A shutdown would be grave and clearly a last resort. All other options must be exhausted first.
Faeser said that Germany was discussing with other European Union Members how to regulate Telegram, noting: As a German nation-state, we cannot do it alone.
Telegram is a messaging app with
social media-like features. Through groups and channels with an unlimited number of members and subscribers, messages, news, and other information can be shared among like-minded people. The private messages can be protected from snooping through
end-to-end-encryption, although this is not the default. |

Several EU countries are investigating the legality of Google Analytics within the GDPR

marketresearchtelecast.com |
The legal basis of the statistics service Google Analytics is proving shaky across the EU. The Austrian data protection censor has determined that the use of Google Analytics' on websites in the European Union is not compatible with the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). Now the Dutch Authority for Personal Data (AP) has warned: Please note: The use Google Analytics' may soon be banned. Google Analytics is a free service providing websites with detailed information about usage such as key
information about how many users a site has and which pages they are reading. The websites allow Google to place cookies on their behalf that allow Google to track websites visits. It is that tracking that may transgress GDPR rules and note that it also
one of the reasons for those silly cookie consent pop-ups that merely serve to train web users to mindlessly click on any pop-up that impedes their viewing. The Dutch data protection censor has updated its Google Analytics privacy-friendly setup
guide and has announced that it is investigating two complaints about the use of Google Analytics in the Netherlands. The AP would like to conclude this investigation in the near future, namely early 2022. Then itwill be able to say whether Google
Analytics is allowed or not. Meanwhile Germany and Austrian data protection censors are also wrestling with a related case. A complaint about data usage by an Austrian website spilled over to Germany when the website withced to Germany. The censors
are now debating both the data complaint and the jurisdiction issues. |
