Comrades will appreciate hearing that this story of a hateful disability benefits entitlement assessor getting some sort of 'come-uppance':

Incidentally, this instance is not the first time that a disability-benefits-eligibility assessor has been outed for hateful views by way of their Facebook content.

I am also pleased to report that my finding a May 2016 press release on Sunday by way of a Google search for the American 'health insurance' company Unum helped source another new Disability News story:

The contacts to whom I fed that story by email were Mo Stewart, Prof. Peter Beresford, and Disability News Service's sole reporter John Pring.

The latter Google search stemmed out of an extension of the Internet search rankings experiment outlined in the blog post

New Internationalist Magazine: Beating the digital titans

The July 2016 issue of New Internationalist magazine affirms that there are considerable dangers in the public 'handing over too much power' to the few very wealthy men who 'offer free services' on the Internet such as Facebook, Google, youtube, and Twitter.

You can take action at a practical and technological level – and a political one.
