Investing for Americans Abroad & U.S. Expats | Gimme Some Truth for Expats
A long time ago – March 2021 to be exact – we brought a special guest, Glenn Jones of the Bermuda Tourism Authority, onto Gimme Some Truth to discuss an expat topic beginning to pick up steam – Digital Nomad Visas. As we progress into the third year with COVID still part of our lives, many workers are still working remotely full-time. In some cases, full-time remote work has become the standard (unless you're Elon Musk & Tesla). So with work-from-anywhere work still very much in the mix, we thought it would be worthwhile to drop this episode from the archives and bring it to this feed for the first time. (This episode originally aired before we had our very own expat podcast). Financial advisors Keith Poniewaz, Ph.D., and Stan Farmer, CFP®, J.D., virtually escape the Wisconsin winter for an episode, welcoming Bermuda Tourism Authority interim CEO Glenn Jones onto the podcast to dive into the topic of Digital Nomad Visas. COVID-19 has helped bring to light the numerous opportunities for Americans looking to work remotely for extended periods, while tourist hot spots like Bermuda have simultaneously sought to expand their offerings in new ways to combat the impact of the pandemic. The show covers the basics of Bermuda's program, including how to apply and qualifications that need to be met, Bermuda's strong response to the pandemic, tax implications of a visa, and more.

Facebook under fire again Facebook is under fire again by both Republicans and Democrats after the New York Times ran a story Sunday night saying the company shared user data with device makers. The article alleges that Facebook entered into data-sharing agreements with companies like Apple, Amazon, Blackberry and Samsung without users’ consent, reinforcing accusations that began to arise last month, during the ongoing Cambridge Analytica debacle, that Facebook violated a 2011 Federal Trade Commission consent decree to protect user data. Keith Ellison calls for FTC investigation of Google In a letter on Friday, Keith Ellison, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, followed up on a call he made back in October for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Google parent company Alphabet’s market dominance. He says the FTC should undertake a similar investigation to the one recently conducted by the European Union which resulted in a record $2.7 billion fine against the tech giant for unfairly highlighting its own search results. Facebook and Twitter address political ad transparency Facebook and Twitter have announced measures to address ad transparency. Facebook will now include a “paid for” label atop political ads, and also keep an archive of political ad data for seven years—the length of a congressional election cycle. Twitter will ban foreign-based advertisers from placing political ads on its platform -- it will also clearly identify and include disclaimers on political ads, as well as require political advertisers to use photos in the advertiser profiles as well as provide contact information. The two companies follow efforts by Google to improve its political ad transparency. The Internet Association is urging the Federal Election Commission to keep political ad regulations flexible. Homeland detected surveillance activity near “sensitive facilities” The Department of Homeland security reported suspicious surveillance activity near what it termed as “sensitive facilities”. In a letter to Senator Ron Wyden, Senior Homeland Security Official Chris Krebs wrote that the Department detected an “anomalous” use of Stingray devices—a device that law enforcement officers use to mimic cell towers in order to obtain device data. The problem is that Homeland doesn’t know or isn’t disclosing where the suspicious activity is coming from. Apple reports sharp increase in national security requests Reporting on national security requests it received in the second half of 2017, Apple reported that it received 20% more such requests than it did in the first half of that year.
