Meta hit with its BIGGEST FINE EVER → A fine bigger than some countries GDP! 🤯 A judge in New Mexico has ordered Zuck's Meta to pay $25 BILLION after a trial found it had lied to the public about how user data was handled. It's great to see that New Mexico is holding Big Tech accountable. 👏

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

Google was really trying to hide its water use figures, to the degree that it got the council to try to keep its water use figures secret. The community finally got the actual numbers and found out Google was using 29 percent of the water in the community. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

“A handful of executives and officials are making high-stakes decisions” about AI “in backroom meetings and without any form of political accountability,” writes Mackenzie Austin, tech counsel in the AI for Democracy Action Lab at Protect Democracy. The window to change that “is closing quickly.”

"Super Intelligence."

Live facial recognition. A waste of time. Waste of money. And, crucially, lays waste to our rights. For the supposed golden goose of digital policing to spit out one (false positive) match is an indictment of this invasive tech. Tech and surveillance aren't the solution to complex social problems.

"What I do know is that there’s something vaingloriously sales pitchy about declaring “the sole flaw with our perfect robot deities is that they are so smart and powerful that they’re going to wipe all you losers out.”" thewhitepages.net/p/the-opposi...

Guess who's still hanging out with Trump? If you guessed all the big tech oligarchs, you're right! www.cnbc.com/2026/09/25/h...

We’ve been put on a watchlist 🚨 “It is deeply concerning to see the Prevent duty being used to enable the monitoring of people and organisations simply because they are critical of the programme.” It raises serious questions about the right to dissent and protest. 💬 ORG’s @sarahlasoye.bsky.social

"Never again" means never again for anyone.

Trump hates unions because organized workers are the only force that can actually check billionaire power. Every attack on labor is designed to keep working people fragmented and desperate - because helpless workers don't strike, they vote for strongmen.

Data centers contribute to higher power bills by driving up electricity demand, requiring expensive grid upgrades, and raising wholesale market prices.

"Unions are the opposite of fascism. That is why fascists attack organized labor first." - Cory Doctorow

Google brings in an estimated €288 million a day in the EU — more than €2 billion every week — even after the European Commission found it had breached EU competition law. #Google #EU #Competition #BigTech peoplevsbig.tech/breakupgoogle/

"You win a trade war by maintaining solidarity until your opponent cries uncle. Unplugging Canadians from Zuckerberg’s advertising panopticon and getting our information system off Musk’s rage machine is an essential part of that mission."

That article says $70 million spent so far this year. The one I saw with the billion was funding through 2029 if I remember correctly. This article puts it at $85 billion www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.
