"Free Speech" is not the issue here. Even mastodon instances have a content policy (rightfully so).
The problem is "tech platforms oligopolies", created by unregulated free market. But neoliberals don't like this narrative, especially now that their allies get de-platformed.
Happy new year everyone! 🥂
Let’s keep the best out of this difficult year and fight even harder in 2021 🌍 🌱 ✊🏻
“After learning about #ClimateChange 40y ago, these #FossilFuels corporations could have invested in green research to anticipate alternate energy sources of energy for the future. Instead, they tried to perpetuate their existing business models.”

How Amazon uses social media to track environmental activism & social movements (incl. Greenpeace, FFF), perceived as a threat to its operations. How they track online activity of workers leading organizing efforts.
"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."

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.

"Local people will give them gasoline and burn the rest of the camp."

The Earth Is on Fire
I’m 23 years old, and I’m not alone. My entire generation has come of age in a world so defined by #ClimateChange and human destruction—by forests burning and glaciers melting, by extinguished species and rising seas—that it’s sometimes been hard to fathom what an even more dismal future might look like.

RFC 8890: “The Internet is for End Users”
From 1990 to 2015:
"The richest 10% of the world’s population (c.630 million people) were responsible for 52% of the cumulative carbon emissions"
"The poorest 50% (c. 3.1 billion people) were responsible for just 7%"
