4·4 days agoMy point was that individuals have been responsible for a lot worse, but never held accountable. It didn’t have to be rivers and fish. I could have linked to the endless other articles referring to the destruction of something. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmjj5gl6m0po

Not one CEO properly held accountable by the law (I could have listed another 30 different cases easily. Just searching polluted river and killed fish fined uk)
5·6 days agoAs mentioned above by MrMakabar, also those three countries along with Egypt are on the Gaza genocide wiki page as potential complicity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide
(They are all complicit)
It’s insane that the US, UK and Germany are enabling this genocidal perpetrator.

Get FOSS into schools ahead of the big tech.

1·8 days agoNo. Can’t view a lot of instances in voyager now. They were working, and I haven’t updated past 2.38.0 Not working anymore, cannot connect to many.
Since the update fixed things, yes, but I’m using another app now. I have voyager installed alongside.
YouTube is not a ‘single thing’. If you don’t understand the buy European movement works or the privacy issues behind the bigtechs, then that’s on you.
Because people like her aren’t using the alternatives that they are claiming to promote.
There are other alternatives with plenty of content.
This person earning money by using the buy European platform is akin to Greenwashing, as mentioned for buy European. As for purity-testing, how many “influencers” is too many for something like this? What are they influencing mostly, the usage of YouTube to make money or the fact that they don’t use the alternatives that they are supposedly promoting? I’ve not checked, but does this influencer have any accounts on the European alternatives? Social media or video hosting sites? If not, then this is self promotion more than promoting the movement, or whatever you choose to call it.
Why doesn’t she start the video pointing to the alternative video sites that the video is also posted on, and save some viewers from the privacy issues that come with the big tech sites?
I’ve no problem with letting people watch what they like, but as she’s obviously getting paid by YouTube as an influencer, I’m pretty sure this is just the ‘buy European’ version of Greenwashing.
I don’t disagree, but literally looking for followers on one of the biggest platforms owned by one of the ‘bigtech’ biggest tech, as an “influencer” kinda defeats the whole purpose. Also, she’s not ‘starting a movement’.
Relying on people to go to YouTube to watch the video that more than likely just points at things already written and linked to on the sites that have already gained a massive following without YouTube is not unnecessary, but it is unneeded.
Using Google’s YouTube to do it. Requires their viewers all to watch YouTube… 🤕🙄
5·12 days agoIreland mustn’t count (small) Their stats only go to may, but month on month they have been seeing a decline in tourism.

I’m referring to actually enabling. None of those other countries enabled by donating money, arms and preventing goods.
I’m not excusing any of them, but the might of the US, Germany and UK are difficult to go against. In Germany, UK and USA you can get arrested just for protesting against it.
South Africa, Ireland, Norway and Spain have all made their opinions known about it, but (I think) are all neutral countries, not that a war would solve the genocide anyway. But for sure, more countries need to do more than vocalise, and more people need to boycott the right people and products to have any effect.
