Tracking the boycott of Facebook Over the past few days a number of huge global brands have mounted a boycott of Facebook + Twitter. I have been tracking the progress here. #KnowWhatMattersonesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
The first I heard of the campaign starting to gain traction was Patagonia’s boycott - Patagonia though, seemed like a likely candidate.. onesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
Zuckerberg's game is getting serious.
Last Thursday when I posted, FB's stock was off 4%. Now the time-limited boycott has grown and it's off 9%. onesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
LEGO are the latest big fish in this fight but over 400 companies in total have pulled out and the number continues to climb. onesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
“ For balance, the BBC article highlights progress FB is making in detecting hate speech. Detecting the remaining 10% gets progressively more expensive. ” — Michael Hobbs (or Pareto) onesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
Can it be possible that commercial companies are finally motivated to do "what's right" where the law fails? I'm sorry if I'm in the sceptic category... however much I hope it does have an impact... onesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
From brands to celebs.. Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, and Michael B. Jordan and now Kim Kardashian West are staging a (one day) walkout. onesub.io/~jimbo/1ip06x0…
… I can’t help but feel that Patel et al’s concern for MPs’ safety is disproportionate in a country where the safety of half the population is constantly called into question.
Ultimately “security” (policing etc) is not the solution.
It’s treating symptoms not causes.
This country needs to address the causes of these crimes against MPs *and* women and minorities - not plaster over the cracks with a big show of force.
Force will only mask the inexorable *growth* of the problem. To be met with what? More force. Ad infinitum.
Endless wars, global pandemics, rich dying of disinformation, poor dying of famine & flood, rising populism, declining freedoms and occasional economic collapse & austerity.
There is a simple solution..
..but first a little “why”.
In the UK & US we like to think that we live in a practical democracy; that it’s “a place where the people really decide regularly how to be governed”.
This myth is based on the facade that depicts a real, meaningful choice at the ballot box.

Perhaps the biggest looser of this change is Facebook who rely heavily on the IDFA to feed data to their own ad platform. onesub.io/~jimbo/hzsxdxv…

@CaseyNewton raised an interesting point Thursday last; that as well as being pro-privacy, Apple's moves are really rather anti-competitive... onesub.io/~jimbo/hzsxdxv…
