Case closed! 🤩💥🚀. In settling my case, Meta has agreed to stop processing my personal data for direct marketing purposes. In non-legalese, that means I will no longer be shown surveillance-ads on Facebook. www.thetimes.com/article/ae70...

What a line up! @markruffalo.bsky.social on fire 🔥 talking about the failure of those with money to take back control of critical infrastructure like social media. So powerful to see cultural figures organizing and fighting back in this way. @johncusack.bsky.social, @rosie.com and @alexwinter.com.

I would like to suggest a permanent feed of @rudyfraser.com and @robin.berjon.com talking as a antidote to despair in these times. I always leave any convo with them feeling that a new paradigm for tech & social media is not just possible, it is inevitable. www.youtube.com/live/uogmc-c...

So inspiring listening to Brian Eno chat to @ianbrucestudio.bsky.social as he paints Elon Musk. If his music studio was a (non religious) Church, I would be there every Sunday! Music, art, chips, community...what a hopeful conversation. Up next John Ronson at 7pm BST/2pm EST at IanPaintsElon.com

So, Internet, we really do need to talk about Elon. How did we get to a place where a single billionaire with daddy issues could take over and control our global public square?
