🌌 The #US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy: First they announce this: "...Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms." Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared #Space: "Space is both a battlefield..." Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military #conflict zone. SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!...

I saw a squirrel being hit by a car the other day and quickly dying after, which was really really horrible. That was an accident, but some kids in the #UK are hurting / killing #pets and #wildlife as part of some horrific #TikTok trend... Guess this is what happens when lazy people let corporations co-parent their kids and #AnimalRights are weak. Animal abuse should be punished much more severely IMO. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16120041/Catapult-yobs-parakeets-cats-dogs-TikTok-f...

🇪🇺 Seeing Ursula Leyen¹ praised all day for her State of the European Union speech is upsetting to me. 🇨🇦 While closer ties to #Canada sound great, it also included her brandnew digital ID verification² law, the so called "EU Kids Act"! ➕ It goes one step further than #SocialMedia covering video-sharing platforms, #AI chatbots, AI companions, online games, software app stores and operating systems³ 📹 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SWaPT7crkU&t=4037 1/2 #STOPEUKIDSACT #EUKIDSAC...

We visited the CSD #Pride Parade in #Berlin on Saturday when the terror attack happened. Most people (myself included) did not even notice until they read the #news later. In the area where the attack happened, the only security measure I saw was one police car, that drove by once while we were there. There was even someone, feeling comfortable enough, to openly hand out business cards with a QR code, offering drugs. 1/2

However you look at it, #ageverification is a major change to the internet and our freedoms. We've seen all kinds of legislation pushed through in the past, often even against major resistance. What makes me suspicious this time is the speed at which some of the slowest bureaucracies in the world are adopting it and how it's happening in 20+ countries in parallel. It's like they're all in a group chat, fast-tracking this before resistance can even form. https://www.france24.c...

🐍 Not shocked by #Meta or the kind of people they put in charge of their “digital experiences for kids”¹. Exactly the kind of person to entrust with social media #ageverification (calls, live videos, photographs etc.). I mean they already love scanning messages for child sexual abuse material via #ChatControl². ☑️ Entrust children's data to the people literally caught exploiting them, all under the banner of protecting kids? ¹ https://cybernews.com/cybercrime/meta-engineering-manager-caug...

#Meta has been up to no good for a while - always? Is $1.4 trillion a reasonable amount for these cases? Who knows. Is it reasonable compensation for all the evil they’ve done? I’d argue yes. It’s essentially their entire market capitalization as a penalty. https://www.engadget.com/2209332/meta-is-facing-1-4-trillion-in-state-lawsuits-over-social-media-addiction #SocialMedia #News #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp #Tech #Accountability #US #USA #America #UnitedStates #Engadget #Reuters #Consum...

Looking at how much conflict natural resource-rich countries (oil, gold, diamonds..) seem to attract, I wonder whether such wealth is more a curse than a blessing. Many regions with scarce #naturalresources, adapted &amp; perform very well. Some of the richest are examples (Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore..) Looks to me like the greed for them attracts conflicts: civil wars, invasions etc. Cultural, ethnic, religious reasons often just seem to be used to cover it. #Society #Economy #Ph...

It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time. Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me...

What is a company like #Meta to do when it notices that 10% of it&#39;s income comes from advertising scams, illegal gambling &amp; products?

🗺️ This is for everyone who has a #government that does horrible things in their name, who voted for a campaign promise but got nothing or the opposite, who has been disappointed repeatedly, who feels unheard, or who never even got a chance to vote! 🖼️ If you can relate, feel free to use this as your profile image so that others like us can see they are not alone, and those affected by our countries #politics see we disagree!

What do #Putin, #Trump &amp; #Netanyahu have in common? When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline &amp; slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

I think in silicon valley they haven&#39;t heard this one yet: A farmer is lying on his deathbed. When asked if he has any last wishes, he dramatically raises his hand and utters his last words: &quot;MORE LAND!&quot; It fits every farmer I know. And then #AI data-center #tech companies have the audacity to offer millions to buy farmland? Didn’t end well for them ;) https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/im-not-for-sale-farmers-refuse-to-take-millions-in-data-center-deals/...
