Polluters broke it, we're paying for it. Make Polluters Pay

Sign the pact, record your story. Join the global movement to make polluters pay.

Very pleased to publish this important essay from Gina Romero, UN Special Rapporteur, about the crisis of surveillance infringing on civic space:

"For a long time, we have been told that government surveillance is like a sharp scalpel: a precise tool used against dangerous actors. The truth is that digital surveillance has been transformed into a massive, society-wide, permanent ecosystem of suspicion that affects, or can potentially affect, everyone."

Digital surveillance is breaking activist mental health

Digital surveillance does much more than steal data. It inflicts deep human wounds; it stops people from safely developing and expressing their identities, breeds trauma that can last for generations, and fractures the human mind.

I have disconnected my battery from the internet. While the real-time data is nice, I prefer a system that doesn't get enshittified by an update. This is exactly what "smart" applications are all about, and with cyberspace everting, enshittification has extented to the real world.

CA lawmakers are fast-tracking A.B. 1709, a sweeping bill that would ban anyone under 16 from using social media and force every user to submit sensitive personal information before accessing social platforms.

I can agree on one thing you say - there is greed in government. But denying the greed of capitalists is, err, denial. Government is captured by corporations, so they are working for them. Bruce Jesson got it right when he said: The National Party governs for capitalists. The Labour Party for capitalism. One is just a greedy party looking out for their friends, the other is maintaining the rigged system.
