🧵 4/n at least here in Germany, we have fairly strong UNIONS.

Nowadays, knowing much more about the local JURISDICTION, i think #Monster "engineered" a scenario, that disregarded #InformedConsent, as well as the requirement for consent for psychological evaluation! (I doubt, that's EVER been just implied!)

I'm fairly certain, that one CAN'T just do it, without the "subject" (applicant) knowing SHIT's happening!

Let's ask the real question:

Firefox users,

do you want any AI directly built into Firefox, or separated out into extensions?

Sometimes, consensus is dangerous. Seeking it is hard for large groups. What's important is the journey towards consensus, not the destination.

@hydro6en Lack of #InformedConsent and no-shows at public meetings are par-for-the-course for corporate interests!

US government takes equity stake in one of the world’s largest #LithiumMines

The #Trump administration is now a significant stakeholder in the controversial mine at #ThackerPass.

"Donald Trump’s administration is taking a 5 percent equity ownership of mining company Lithium Americas, on top of another 5 percent stake in the company’s joint mining project with GM in Nevada, the #DepartmentOfEnergy announced yesterday. The mine at Thacker Pass is expected to become the largest producer of lithium in the Western Hemisphere once it opens in 2028.

"Lithium is a crucial component in batteries used for electric vehicles, wind and solar energy storage, and rechargeable devices of all kinds. Both the Biden and Trump administrations have sought to wean the US off foreign imports of lithium. This announcement is the latest step President Trump has taken to assert more control over domestic supply chains for key materials.

"The Thacker Pass mine is supposed to produce around 40,000 metric tons of #LithiumCarbonate annually for batteries once it’s fully operational. US production of lithium is currently under 5,000 metric tons. For comparison, China — the third-biggest lithium producer after Australia and Chile — already produces 40,000 metric tons annually.

"The mine has been under construction since 2023, following fierce opposition from nearby Native American tribes. Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union found that the federal government’s permitting of the mine violated Indigenous peoples’ rights in a February 2025 report, alleging it failed to obtain 'free, prior, and #InformedConsent' from affected tribes. Ranchers and environmental groups concerned about the mine’s impact on local #water sources and endangered species have also opposed the project."

The University of Tasmania's RA Rodda Museum kept and displayed 177 human remains without families’ knowledge, report finds

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/sep/11/tasmanian-museum-kept-and-displayed-177-human-remains-without-the-families-knowing-report-finds-ntwnfb

A coronial probe was launched in 2016 after the museum’s curator raised concerns three specimens had been kept without the consent or approval of the coroner or families involved.

The investigation’s final report, published on Thursday, confirmed 177 samples had been kept by the museum without permission.
