This is how (Greek) banks are implementing "3-D Secure". A pop-up asking you to enter your e-banking credentials, with no way to verify that is actually coming from the bank. @winbank_tweets in this case.

Interesting how "3-D secure" made phishing attacks easier than ever 🤦‍♂️

On Evros wall, on Aegean bottom,

#EU is considering new plans to ban #plantbased dairy from:

– have informative descriptions like ”doesn’t contain milk”
– use the same packaging as dairy products (eg. cartons)
– explaining the climate impact of food

We are very close to have the first hunger strike dead in #Greece. First one in Europe after 40 years (during Thatcher).

The most conservative and authoritative government of recent history, chooses revenge over justice.

"53% of the protein is used to feed farm animals. 2/3 of this food is lost in conversion from plant to animal.

UN expects meat consumption to rise by 70% by 2030 (3 times the rate of human population growth). The land required to grow them doesn't exist"

"“Pedestrian infrastructure” is an oxymoron. In a place that’s hospitable to people, pedestrians don’t need separate “infrastructure”, they can use the streets as a place to walk, just as humans have done for several thousand years in cities with no cars."

#Greece & #EU Commission signed deal to finance the construction of new closed #migrants camps on the islands of Samos, Kos, Leros

Remember this when people preach about European ideals/values. A history full of concentration camps, colonialism & racism

It's 47 years since the Polytechnic uprising, that led to the fall of the military junta the year after, in #Greece

Today the government forbid any public gathering. A ruling, that was last time issued in that day of 17.11 of 1973.

"Population Panic" /by @GeorgeMonbiot

https://www.monbiot.com/2020/08/31/population-panic/

Colonial mindset still active in the rich western part of the world. Over-population myth used as an excuse to justify consumerism impact on #ClimateChange.

"Main reasons for forest fires: logging, cattle ranchers, palm oil industry. These lead to a huge loss of forest and increase the amount of fires." 🔥

Essentially we burn forests to make room for consumerism. #ClimateChange
