The union has been soliciting reports from adult performers about account deactivations since March.

|
At the meeting, drivers involved with Gig Worker Rising hoped to discuss policies around driver ratings and deactivations.
|
|
There are multiple high-profile examples of Facebook content takedowns and account deactivations that have been described as erroneous.
|
|
In some cases, deactivations can be reversed by taking improvement courses, appealing to Uber, or updating out-of-date personal information.
|
|
While we expect only a small number of riders to ultimately be impacted by ratings-based deactivations, it's the right thing to do.
|
|
Eli Solomon Martin, a founder of the group, said seemingly arbitrary deactivations were among the most frustrating aspects of work as a driver.
|
|
We updated our system for applying geolocation information, which relies on IP addresses, and that led to the deactivations for accounts tied to embargoed countries.
|
|
Some performers believe many deactivations this year are due to harassment — essentially anti-porn trolls who report sex workers' accounts to platforms to intentionally cause them trouble.
|
|
The alliance says its workers are demanding fewer driver deactivations, an end to upfront pricing, and a cap on the per-fare commission taken by ride-hail companies.
|
|
"We updated our system for applying geolocation information, which relies on IP addresses, and that led to the deactivations for accounts tied to embargoed countries," the representative said.
|
|
But the case could soon be settled after Uber agreed to pay up to $100 million to drivers and implement some internal reforms to address complaints about tipping and deactivations.
|
|
Uber confirmed the widespread deactivations after a user tweeted that the company sent her a message saying she had possibly come in contact with the disease and then suspended her account.
|
|
Uber's rating system is already weighted heavily against drivers, so much so that the company finally recognized this and has begun to implement ways for drivers to contest bad ratings and deactivations.
|
|
An open letter to Mark Zuckerberg signed by 86 organizations and published on Tuesday implores Facebook to provide a clear, fast mechanism that allows users to appeal instances of content takedowns and account deactivations.
|
|
Under the agreement, the IAM has developed a separate affiliate group called the Independent Drivers Guild (the operative word being "independent") through which drivers can meet with Uber's management on a "regular basis" and appeal deactivations.
|
|
Earlier this year, east coast grid operator PJM, which serves 65 million customers, published an analysis of recently announced planned deactivations of certain nuclear plants and determined that there was no immediate threat to system reliability.
|
|
Workers are hoping to win guaranteed minimum pay similar to what New York recently voted to enact, as well as a 10-percent commission cap for rideshare companies, and an end to driver deactivations without just cause.
|
|
Ask rideshare drivers anywhere, and they'll likely name the same problems: low pay made lower through vehicle expenses and upkeep, deactivations without recourse, and a higher and higher share of their rides being gobbled up as commission fees.
|
|
If these vital elements are replaced by private processes with no transparency, accountability or effective mechanisms for affected parties to appeal and remedy their deletions or deactivations, power will inevitably be abused with no consequences for the abusers.
|
|
Drivers have asked for years for the right to appeal deactivations; last month, when a group of drivers with Gig Workers Rising attempted to deliver a petition on the issue to Uber's headquarters, security tackled a driver to the ground.
|
|
Chen could decide that $100 million isn't enough compensation, or that the reforms Uber is promising —" more transparency, an ability for drivers to solicit tips and challenge deactivations through arbitration, recognition from Uber of quasi-union "driver associations" —" don't even scratch the surface.
|
|
The Army confirmed in early August that it halted sales to conduct a study ordered by Congress, after lawmakers who disagreed with the plan moved to withhold funds for deactivations until the Army reviewed and validated its ability to meet watercraft needs.
|
|
"Their Drivers Bill of Rights includes a ten percent commission cap, transparency around deactivations, the right for drivers to organize and negotiate with the companies, and community standards around traffic and emissions to ensure that the rideshare industry benefits the cities where it operates."
|
|
The separate petition workers sent to Instacart's CEO also includes specific demands, such as the ability to see the exact address where deliveries are going before accepting a job, an "XL" option for large orders with a corresponding increase in pay, and an appeals process for worker deactivations.
|
|
They also want a "transparent, speedy, independent" appeals process for deactivations and that any discipline adhere to a "just cause" standard, more transparency on fares and trips, the ability to organize and negotiate with management, the election of a driver representative to the companies' boards, and increased environmental standards.

Yet Amazon's background check policy insinuates itself into the hiring decisions these companies are able to make—especially if Amazon is provides the lion's share of work for these local outfits—and testimony around pushy FC workers and app deactivations suggests Amazon also wields the power to functionally fire drivers as well.
|
|
It said Uber drivers are demanding an end to unfair deactivations (described by the union as 'de facto dismissals'); an increase in fares to £2 per mile (vs the current rate of £1.25p/m in London); a 10% reduction in commissions paid by drivers to Uber (currently 25% for UberX); and calling for Uber to immediately apply the tribunal judgement and implement "employment conditions that respect worker rights for drivers, including the payment of at least the minimum wage and paid holidays".

Deactivations began in 1969 and by 1972 all Bomarc sites had been shut down. A small number were used as target drones, and only a few remain on display today.

Shots and deactivations use up the same supply of energy, so if a player is continually deactivated, they will not only have a lower number of deactivations left until they must reload, they will also have a lower number of shots to use. After a player reloads there is a short delay before they are reactivated. Games that use reloads are different from games that do not because of the way players are forced to act. A common tactic in games involving bases, is to sit in a base area and camp there for a long time, defending it or waiting to attack it.

Often the vampire is given some sort of advantage, such as a shorter deactivation time and increased fire rate (Peasants can also be given a disadvantage of longer deactivations times and reduced fire rates. In some arenas, both of these rules are in effect simultaneously). Vampires can shoot one another and peasants can shoot one another.

Coincidentally, he defeated the last champion, Sean Mulligan, on May 17, 2008 at Battle of the Belts 20 to unify the Bare Knuckles, Heavyweight and League titles.

Kept active and in the reserve through much of the 20th century, the brigade in name was reorganized into a different unit for fighting during World War II. Seeing numerous moves, activations and deactivations, the brigade has been used principally as a training unit for most of its existence. Reactivated again in 2006, the brigade is now primarily responsible for training provincial reconstruction teams and their supporting elements for deployment to the War in Afghanistan.

Building 257, located at Fort Terry, was completed around 1911. The original purpose of the building was to store weapons, such as mines, and the structure was designated as the Combined Torpedo Storehouse and Cable Tanks building. Fort Terry went through a period of activations and deactivations through World War II until the U.S. Army Chemical Corps took over the facility in 1952 for use in anti-animal biological warfare (BW) research. The conversion of Fort Terry to a BW facility required the remodeling of Building 257 and other structures.

Building No. 257 at Fort Terry, on Plum Island near Long Island, New York, was completed around 1911. The original purpose of the building was to store weapons, such as mines, and the structure was designated the Combined Torpedo Storehouse and Cable Tanks building. Fort Terry went through a period of activations and deactivations through World War II until the U.S. Army Chemical Corps took over the facility in 1952 for use in anti-animal biological warfare (BW) research. The Chemical Corps planned a laboratory for the fort, to be housed in Building 257.

To overcome many of these drawbacks, cortical cooling devices may be used instead of ablation. While allowing a range of tissue areas to be cooled (small with cryotips to very large if using multiple cryoloops or a cooling plate), using cooling devices is a reversible method that enables control of the period of inactivation and, when turned off, takes only minutes for the animal to recover full function. These advantages hold even when deactivations are repeated over long periods of time, from months to years, with no evidence of attenuation.

Of note, the 4th Marines, adopted the motto, "Hold High the Torch" during this period. This legendary phrase served as a symbolic pledge to the warriors of the old 4th Marines who were captured at Corregidor. From 1945 to 1952 the battalion would go through a series of deactivations and reactivations both overseas and in the U.S. The most notable service during this period was in China during 1946 where the battalion, belonging to the 6th Marine Division, participated in the occupation of North China. The battalion was deactivated in November 1947 and remained so until 1952.

Other operators had fully complied and reconciled their deactivations with the invalid registrations shared by the NCC up to 4 weeks earlier. The consequence of MTN's refusal to comply with the directive is even more pronounced as half of all the invalid registrations shared by the NCC belongs to MTN. In a related development, the house of representatives committee on telecommunications, headed by Saheed Akinade Fijabi to investigate the abuse among the MNOs in complying with the registration of SIM cards in the country. In a letter addressed to NCC on 2 November 2015, MTN admitted wrongdoing for their role of 5.2 million improperly registered SIMs after the NCC deadline on the network and also pleaded for mercy.

Meléndez, Edwin; Meléndez, Edgardo; Colonial Dilemma; South End Press; Boston; 1993 Puerto Rico Municipal Maritime Police - U.S. Coast Guard The former U.S. Navy facilities at Roosevelt Roads, Vieques, and Sabana Seca have been deactivated and partially turned over to the local government. Other than U.S. Coast Guard and Puerto Rico National Guard facilities, there are only two remaining military installations in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Army's small Ft. Buchanan (supporting local veterans and reserve units) and the PRANG(Puerto Rico Air National Guard) Muñiz Air Base (the C-130 Fleet). In recent years, the U.S. Congress has considered their deactivations, but these have been opposed by diverse public and private entities in Puerto Rico - such as retired military who rely on Ft. Buchanan for the services available there. The coastal defense of Puerto Rico is the responsibility of the U.S. Navy from ships at sea, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The plaintiffs in the case were Timothy Zignego, a conservative businessman and Republican donor, David W. Opitz, a former Republican state legislator, and Frederick G. Luehrs III. The complaint alleged that, according to a 2015 law, voter officials were required to purge any voter who did not respond within 30 days to a notice requesting an update to their voter registration. The targeted voters were identified with the assistance of a national voter database Electronic Registration Information Center, which took the place of the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program, which had been shut down in large part due to its contributions to several massive erroneous purges of voters. A previous attempt to purge Wisconsin voters who were identified as having "moved" based on data from the Electronic Registration Information Center resulted in a large number of inaccurate voter deactivations, causing significant voter difficulties in the 2018 Wisconsin elections.

League games are played with reloads, so there is a limit on the number of shots or deactivations a player can have in a row, and it is possible to shoot and deactivate teammates, although not possible to shoot your team's base or yourself. Shooting bases is different in league games also, for whenever a player shoots a base, they lose 500 points. The player shoots the base twice, losing 500 points each time, and then when the player shoots it a final time, gains 1000 points to regain the points lost from the first two shots, and 3001 points for destroying the base. If a player shoots the base once or twice without destroying it, and is deactivated, or distracted for long enough, then the player will have to start all over again, losing even more points the next time the player shoots the base; the player will only gain 4001 points for destroying the base, so failing to shoot the base too many times may result in a significant loss in points for the team.

The largest of these installations were the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Ceiba, the Atlantic Fleet Weapons Training Facility (AFWTF) on Vieques, the National Guard training facility at Camp Santiago in Salinas, Fort Allen in Juana Diaz, the Army's Fort Buchanan in San Juan, the former U.S. Air Force Ramey Air Force Base in Aguadilla, and the Puerto Rico Air National Guard at Muñiz Air Force base in San Juan.Meléndez, Edwin; Meléndez, Edgardo; Colonial Dilemma; South End Press; Boston; 1993 The former U.S. Navy facilities at Roosevelt Roads, Vieques, and Sabana Seca have been deactivated and partially turned over to the local government.
