What is up, everyone, welcome back to Fluency News! This is Scott Lowe, and I\u2019m thrilled to have you with me!<\/p>\n

You probably already know how this works, so I\u2019ll just give you a quick rundown. We\u2019re going to check out some of this week\u2019s most important stories together. Then, whenever there\u2019s a need for an extended explanation or in depth context, you\u2019ll hear me speaking in Portuguese, to make sure you don\u2019t miss anything.<\/p>\n

Before we get started, let me just remind you, you can see all of our sources and the transcript of this episode by going to fluency.io. There you\u2019ll also have access to a bunch of free lessons, so don\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n

Alright, now let\u2019s jump in. We start today\u2019s episode with an update of a previous story. Apple and Facebook are still feuding, after Apple rolled out an operating system update that shows users which apps are tracking them without their knowledge. Facebook is continuing its campaign against the feature, now stating that the information collected from users is to \u201chelp keep Facebook free of charge\u201d.<\/p>\n

The update, iOS 14.5, makes it that all apps must ask for permission before they can track a user between apps and websites. Game developing companies and many others are said to be worried, but Facebook has been publically fighting the feature since it was announced. Now it\u2019s threatening to start charging its users for access in the future, should users deny it access.<\/p>\n

That is still a story in development, and we\u2019ll keep you posted on what happens between these two technology giants.<\/p>\n

Nessa hist\u00f3ria, n\u00f3s temos a palavra \u201cshould\u201d sendo usada com um sentido diferente de \u201cdeveria\u201d. \u201cShould\u201d \u00e9 um verbo modal, usado normalmente para falar de uma recomenda\u00e7\u00e3o, com sentido de obriga\u00e7\u00e3o. Aqui, o significado seria \u201ccaso\u201d, ou \u201cse\u201d. Ent\u00e3o caso os usu\u00e1rios n\u00e3o aceitem ser rastreados, \u00e9 poss\u00edvel que o Facebook comece a cobrar acesso.<\/p>\n

Next up, German police shut down one of the world\u2019s biggest darknet child abuse images sites. An online platform said to be one of the largest websites for child sexual abuse images in the world has been closed by German police after months of lengthy investigation.<\/p>\n

The Boystown platform, which had a membership of more than 400,000 international subscribers and was active for almost two years, was accessible only via the darknet, a component of the wider internet for which special software is needed. It was used for the swapping and sharing of images and films, mainly of boys, according to investigators from Germany\u2019s federal investigative police force (BKA).<\/p>\n

Four German citizens between the ages of 40 and 64 were detained in relation to the case, three on suspicion of working as administrators for the platform \u2014 one of whom was arrested in Paraguay. Another man was taken in under suspicion of being a registered member and the platform’s most active user, having contributed more than 3,500 posts.<\/p>\n

Eva K\u00fchne-H\u00f6rmann, the justice minister for the state of Hesse where three of the men are in custody, called the police work a \u201cfantastic investigative success story in the fight against the sexualised violence of children and young people\u201d. She said it sent the clear message to those dealing with child abuse images that \u201cthe oxygen for people who participate in the spreading of photos and videos is getting increasingly thin\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe platform had several forums and chats \u2014 the illegal pictures and videos were kept in the forums; in the chats, the members could communicate,\u201d prosecutor Julia Bussweiler said. \u201cThere were several language channels to facilitate the communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

A German police task force investigated the platform, its administrators and users for months in cooperation with Europol and law enforcement authorities from the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, the United States and Canada, the statement said.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s top security official thanked the authorities for their success.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investigative success has a clear message: Those who assault the weakest aren\u2019t safe anywhere,\u201d German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said. \u201dThat\u2019s what investigators work for day and night, online and offline, globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll do everything within our power to protect the kids from these disgusting crimes,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Voc\u00ea sabe qual \u00e9 a diferen\u00e7a de \u201cinside\u201d e \u201cwithin\u201d? As duas palavras podem ser traduzidas para \u201cdentro\u201d. \u201cInside\u201d significa \u201cdentro\u201d, no sentido de \u201cdo lado de dentro\u201d. Normalmente usamos quando estamos falando da localiza\u00e7\u00e3o de algum objeto. \u201cWithin\u201d \u00e9 mais formal e geralmente usada para se referir a per\u00edodo de tempo ou dist\u00e2ncia. Ela tamb\u00e9m pode significar, como aqui nessa hist\u00f3ria, \u201cdentro de\u201d. Ent\u00e3o o oficial disse que eles far\u00e3o tudo dentro do poder deles para proteger as crian\u00e7as.<\/p>\n

In other tech news, Verizon sold AOL and Yahoo for about half of what it paid. Verizon offloaded its media business to Apollo Global Management in a deal valued at $5 billion as the mobile phone giant focuses on building out its 5G network.<\/p>\n

Verizon will maintain a 10 percent stake in the company, now known as Yahoo and led by CEO Guru Gowrappan. The deal, which includes Verizon\u2019s ad tech business, was heavily rumored over the last week and is still subject to closing conditions. Once complete, it\u2019ll bring an end to Verizon\u2019s troubled experiment with media production and advertising.<\/p>\n

Verizon has been shedding media assets as it refocuses on wireless, spending billions on licensing the airwaves needed for the next generation of faster mobile service, called 5G. It sold blogging site Tumblr in 2019 and HuffPost to BuzzFeed late last year. The digital media sector in recent years has been consolidating as companies seek profitability.<\/p>\n

Apollo is a private equity firm that owns the Venetian resort in Las Vegas and crafts retailer Michaels. \u201cWe are thrilled to help unlock the tremendous potential of Yahoo and its unparalleled collection of brands,\u201d said Apollo partner Reed Rayman. \u201cWe have enormous respect and admiration for the great work and progress that the entire organization has made over the last several years, and we look forward to working with Guru, his talented team, and our partners at Verizon to accelerate Yahoo\u2019s growth in its next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nesta hist\u00f3ria, vemos o uso do adjetivo de posse \u201cits\u201d. Ele \u00e9 escrito I-T-S, e \u00e9 usado para se referir a algo que pertence \u00e0 um objeto, ou nesse caso, uma empresa. Sempre que estivermos falando de algo que n\u00e3o \u00e9 uma pessoa, usamos IT, e quando falamos de algo que pertence \u00e0 essa n\u00e3o pessoa, usamos ITS. Como n\u00e3o existe em portugu\u00eas um equivalente perfeito, normalmente traduzimos \u201cit\u201d para \u201cele\u201d ou \u201cela\u201d, e \u201cits\u201d para \u201cdele\u201d ou \u201cdela\u201d. Aqui, estamos falando das posses e a\u00e7\u00f5es da Verizon, uma empresa de comunica\u00e7\u00e3o, e por isso usamos o sujeito IT.<\/p>\n

Last week we saw some of the horrors that India is facing with COVID-19, so this week we decided to showcase some of the good things that are happening there! Here are some stories that will make you feel warm and cozy inside, and maybe, restore your faith in humanity a little.<\/p>\n

Olive Ridley turtles are back on Mumbai beach after 20 years, thanks to a cleanup effort that\u2019s been ongoing for 127 weeks. On World Water Day, celebrated across the globe on March 22, activists and volunteers saw hatchlings of a species. They immediately informed the state forest department of their discovery, who, on their part, confirmed that the hatchlings belong to Olive Ridley turtles. The finding of the hatchlings holds great importance as the Olive Ridley turtles returned to Versova beach after a gap of 20 years. The cleanup campaign started by lawyer-turned-activist Afroz Shah is credited as the reason these animals are back.<\/p>\n

Also in India, the kindness of strangers is giving hope amid the horrors of Covid-19. Several ordinary men and women have become pandemic superheroes, helping battle not only the coronavirus but also the labyrinthine Indian bureaucracy.<\/p>\n

An auto rickshaw driver in Bhopal sold his wife’s jewellery to convert his vehicle into a makeshift ambulance.<\/p>\n

Another person in Mumbai sold his SUV for 2.2 million rupees (R$162,000) to buy people oxygen cylinders.<\/p>\n

In Varanasi, a 23-year-old labourer used his bike rigged to a wooden trolley as an ambulance to ferry sick people to hospital.<\/p>\n

The generosity can be strikingly intimate, like when a lactating mother in Bangalore donated breast milk to a premature baby whose mother had died of Covid-19 last week.<\/p>\n

In many towns, an army of anonymous volunteers work their phones to verify and update public databases listing suppliers of critical drugs and oxygen. Hundreds of unnamed students call government helplines on behalf of sick and overwhelmed families.<\/p>\n

With localized lockdowns restricting mobility, hunger has also returned as a threat for many daily wageworkers.<\/p>\n

“It is a completely ignored crisis this time,” said Mr Ankit Gupta, 28, who along with some of his friends, has been distributing around 3,000 food packets and 200 dry ration kits every day in Delhi for the past two weeks. They buy these supplies using crowdsourced funds.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think I would have survived had I not been helping others, which gives me the energy to go on,” said Mr Gupta.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s on that hopeful note that we\u2019re going to end today\u2019s episode. It\u2019s important to remember to stay happy, healthy and safe, while helping others as much as we can. Don\u2019t forget to check out fluency.io for more free content.<\/p>\n
