It’s taking a long time for people to wake up to the fact that these platforms are not public forums but privately owned companies with terrible agendas and total control. If you lay down with these dogs…

TikTok “Permanently Suspends” the ‘Musk’ Film Account, Raising Suppression Fears (Exclusive)

bit.lyTikTok “Permanently Suspends” the ‘Musk’ Film Account, Raising Suppression Fears (Exclusive)TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. The move, which comes just as the Alex Gibney’s investigation into Elon Musk expands to more than 470 screens across North America, raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.Distributor Bleecker Street was informed Friday afternoon a “permanent suspension” was coming. The entire page disappeared from TikTok’s platform shortly after. The film company had been planning to spend ad money to boost certain posts; that will no longer happen.

Katie Zacharia was dismissed from her post, summarily ending the shortest stint as White House press secretary in anyone's memory. The entire episode underscored the uneasy atmosphere that has pervaded Trump's inner circle less than three weeks before the midterm elections. https://cnn.it/4jrBlUA

I think we need to reframe the use of genAI as consumption rather than creation. You are consuming a version of yourself-your labour, your desires-as a product. Like fast fashion and fast food, though, this overconsumption of the processed self is neither sustainable nor healthy

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Getting my patronising "your bill is 40% higher than last year, naughty boy" when my usage is 30% lower is particularly infuriating.

The massive nationwide electricity rate hikes aren’t happening simply because utility services have gotten more expensive or customers have been receiving better service. It’s because utility monopolies have bought off the system that’s supposed to keep them in check.
