#Yelp laid off 1000 workers. One can only dream that they would sack everyone & close their doors. That parasitic company only does harm. https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/09/yelp-lays-off-1000-employees-and-furloughs-1100-more/ Recall that they're exploiting #Coronavirus by opening false charity accounts to collect donations that the named beneficiary doesn't even know about.
at least that way the consumer avoids #Paypal's data share with 600+ companies. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/03/the_600_compani.html
When a merchant only accepts #Paypal, what can an ethical consumer do? Normally I walk, even if their competitor charges more I'm willing to pay it. But in rare cases a merchant has a monopoly on something. I don't suppose there's a MitM service that will accept credit card & then pay the merchant by Paypal.
Need an ethical alternative to #DuckDuckGo? Check out search.disroot.org. #Disroot sources from #DDG so the results are similar. Caveat: this is half-baked info.. if Disroot pays for API access all bets are off.

"... we should support the recommendations of the 250 scientists and medical doctors who signed the #5Gappeal that calls for an immediate moratorium on the deployment of #5G and demand that our government fund the research needed to adopt biologically based exposure limits that protect our #health and safety."

What does #Kraft food, #ProctorAndGamble, #ExxonMobil, #Koch, & #PhilipMorris all have in common? A: They all support #climateDenial & they all fight #netNeutrality via #AEI. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=American_Enterprise_Institute#Funding
#CEI, a #climateDenial lobby, tries to hide their donors. But some have been exposed: #CocaCola, #Ford, #PhilipMorris, #Pfizer, & #Texaco. #Boycott them. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Competitive_Enterprise_Institute#Other_Funding_Sources
yikes.. the #climate deniers managed to get control of the globalwarming.org domain.

@jeroenpraat @pzmyers you are in a public space, and you've plugged a private exclusive #walledgarden -- of course any injustices of this kind have no immunity from criticism. "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." -- Desmond Tutu

Shout-out to every project which isn't on GitHub
Travelers: these airlines respect your #privacy by not subjecting you to #facialrecognition: Alaska, #UnitedAirlines, #SouthwestAirlines, #Allegiant, & #AirCanada. #Boycott these: #jetBlue, #Delta, #AmericanAirlines, #BritishAirways, & #Lufthansa, who use facial recognition at boarding time.
Dear activists: now is the best time to #boycott bad companies. Small business are getting killed. Don't buy from #Amazon. Boycott #ALEC members: #AmEx #Chevron #Farmers #FedEx #Geico #LMG #Marlboro #Motorola #Nationwide #PNC #Sony #StateFarm #Texaco #TimeWarner - favor their competitors & especially small businesses.
This video "Inner Life of a Cell" is amazing.. must see. http://kgg2m7yk5aybusll.onion/watch?v=yKW4F0Nu-UY #biology

@Ayior @ChrisTalleras I'm someone who bounces back and fourth between school & industry.. to collect more degrees and stay current. Schools avoid #LaTeX b/c of the lousy rationale that it's not used in industry, then I've worked on projects where #LaTeX was far more appropriate than #MSWord, but management claims: "no one knows LaTeX so we aren't going to use it".
I ask, because I would expect this tweet to be censored under the centralized control of a #Trump supporter: https://twitter.com/RepublicansforB/status/1243292010624225282
Does a #Trump supporter now have control over #Twitter, or is the acquisition still ongoing? http://mfqczy4mysscub2s.onion/watch?v=glPtEPS02Y4

@glynmoody @dredmorbius "the [#Trump] campaign has also asked Twitter to 'flag a nearly identical ad... but the social media giant refused.'" <= just imagine if they made that request after a Trump supporter finishes his acquisition of #Twitter.
Well I'm going to rant about not being able to see your rant, because your website blocks & shows this to #Tor users:
