Amazon, Tesla and Meta among world’s top companies undermining democracy – report - eviltoast

Some of the world’s largest companies have been accused of undermining democracy across the world by financially backing far-right political movements, funding and exacerbating the climate crisis, and violating trade union rights and human rights in a report published on Monday by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).

Amazon, Tesla, Meta, ExxonMobil, Blackstone, Vanguard and Glencore are the corporations included in the report. The companies’ lobbying arms are attempting to shape global policy at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on 22 and 23 September.

    Facebook definitely is.

    My post on the weekend telling people where I was travelling to ensure if I disappeared they’d know where to find me for deleted for cybersecurity reasons

    Yet, I regularly report abuse, bullying, porn, etc and the AI moderation never sees any issues

    And every single post there now is:

    Lol 😂 Newline newline new line

    Repost repost…I am an obvious bot. Often I am a stupid car meme mocking EVs and solar, etc

      I’ve been told in the past you shouldn’t make public posts with your travel plans. You’re broadcasting that thieves can break in to your house and clean it out without worrying when you’ll be back.

      Just tell your friends/family directly

        I have housemates. And cameras and dogs… But you’re normally right
