Due to overwhelming public backlash, Meta abandoned its invasive AI feature, which would have allowed public profiles to be used in AI-generated images unless users proactively opt out. Big Tech wanted to strip away our right to privacy. But the people spoke up, and we won.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Popular unpopular opinion: touchscreens in cars meant to be operated by drivers are a terrible idea to the point that they should perhaps be made literally illegal

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

Parents are legally responsible for making sure their kid attends school, but *not* legally responsible for taking 30 seconds to turn on age-appropriate settings on a smartphone they choose to buy for their kid??

old people need to realize that things change, the world is not the same, you can’t be upset at those younger than you for not knowing old systems that have changed !!!

What if we just believed young people when they say it’s because of climate change and being broke?

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind. "One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing." Amazing powers of prediction.

Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is a damning indictment on both humanity and capitalism. We've failed ourselves, and even worse, the biosphere.

Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire. Trillionaires and Billionaires are the problem not the solution, if they were properly tax like you are, they wouldn't exist. You wouldn't need to pay tax, and all the Public Services would be excellent.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

Elon Musk's rise to trillionaire status is nothing to celebrate. We must create an economy and a government that works for all of us, not just Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

This is what happens when we treat a necessity like a business. People get squeezed during an affordability crisis, workers get mistreated & infrastructure crumbles. It's time we go back to treating BC Ferries as a public utility. We can lower costs, increase service & build the transit we deserve.
