The CDOH special issue at @healthpromint.bsky.social has just been launched!

The Editorial launching the series states that we must be led by the evidence on the risk to public health goals that engagement with harmful commercial actors poses!

Among the many innovative features listed in this article, I find the use of a custom domain both easy and useful. By connecting an account to a personal domain and website, it acts as a means of verification that is more meaningful than any check mark, paid or unpaid!

Congrats @bsky.app

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

The profile banner is a detail of Tao Hong's painting "Eye in the Sky" (2018, oil on canvas, 200cm by 300cm) at the National Art Museum in Beijing, on 13 Sep 2019. A mosaic of 100s of corporate icons, the piece serves as fitting metaphor for surveillance capitalism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveil...
