Among the worst things #Google does against #privacy is including tracking cookies with apparently innocent looking services like Google Fonts and reCaptcha. Pure evil.

#Bangladesh’s national flag has no official digital specification for the red and green colours. And a lot of apparently wrong specifications are floating around the Internet. So I dug a little deeper, my verdict is Green Hex # 006651, Red Hex # DA291C tauheed.online/there-are-no-…
